Can You Limewash Surfaces Other Than Brick?

• <div><p>Yes, you can limewash surfaces other than brick. Plaster, stone, stucco, and concrete can all also be limewashed. Any porous surface that will absorb the wash is a good candidate for limewash, although it won’t help much with waterproofing. If you choose to limewash over paint, you’ll need to prep before applying it to avoid a powdery, chalky finish. Shiny surfaces like metal or glass can’t absorb limewash, so it’s not suited for these.</p></div>

How much does it cost to shiplap a fireplace?

• <div><p>If you already have the tools, like a miter saw, a stud finder, and a nail gun or hammer, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-shiplap-cost.htm">installing shiplap costs</a> <b>$500 to $1,000</b> for supplies. You’ll also spend <b>$200 to $2,200</b> for the cost of an electric fireplace if you decide to add one into your setup.</p><p>You can also hire a carpenter for <b>$35 to $100 per hour</b>, plus the cost of materials, to install shiplap around your fireplace. If you need help installing a fireplace before adding the shiplap, labor can cost <b>$225 to $2,180</b> for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-installing-fireplace-or-woodstove-cost.htm#cost-factors">fireplace installation costs</a>. </p></div>

Q: What are the downsides of brick staining?

• <div><p>The downsides of brick staining include a complex process and lengthy application. Also, if your brick is damaged or already contains a non-porous sealant or paint, staining won&rsquo;t be an option as it won&rsquo;t be able to absorb properly.</p></div>

Q: Can you stain red brick white?

• <div><p>You can turn a red brick white through a process called whitewashing. Whitewash isn&rsquo;t a stain but rather is made from water and white latex paint. Adding more water to the mix will make the solution look lighter when applied, and adding more paint will make it look more white. </p></div>

Q: Do I need to prime my brick fireplace before painting?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s a good idea to use <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/quick-primer-interior-painting.htm">paint primer</a> on your brick fireplace before painting it. Brick is highly absorbent, so your first few coats of paint will likely seep into the surface of your fireplace, allowing the natural color of the brick to seep through. To avoid this, you&rsquo;ll want to use one or two coats of primer, followed by the topcoat. </p></div>
