The clerk at the store indicated their service person would come to our home and give me a repair estimate and take measurements if I decided to buy a replacement insert. I paid $50 at the store to cover the price of the service call for the visit. I was given an appointment for the service person to visit the next week. The day of the appointment, the service person called to say they had a conflict, and would have to reschedule. two more missed appointments, several phone calls, and 1 month later, the service man arrived. The befuddled man could not figure out how to remove the glass front to the fireplace, check its operation, or make any examination of the fireplace. He explained that he wasn't familiar with this type of fireplace (a contractor grade 90's US made fireplace) and said that he would have to send another person over so someone else could look at it. After two more weeks (no contact from the service people) I contacted the store again to complain. The store was polite, but gave me the run-around that they were not responsible for what the contractors did, explained that the $50 was non-refundable, and offered to start the whole ordeal over again. To this date, the service man has not contacted us to follow up on the service call, and I have abandoned all hope of satisfaction from Offenbacher's."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/va/fredericksburg/offenbacher%27s-reviews-6254612.htm"},"position":10}]}

Gas Fireplace Repair questions, answered by experts
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’t be an option as it won’t be able to absorb properly.
Yes, brick should be clean before staining to ensure the best results. Dirt, dust, mold, mildew, and other substances on the brick can prevent the stain from properly adhering to it. Thoroughly cleaning the brick allows the stain to penetrate and bond to the surface more effectively. Cleaning typically involves using a pressure washer or a stiff brush with mild detergent. However, stubborn residue may require a specialized masonry cleaner.
Limewash and whitewash often appear together in a quick search when looking for ways to paint brick—so, what’s the difference? Limewash paint is one of the most natural and environmentally friendly ways to paint brick. It’s made from limestone and water, giving it an off-white appearance that looks similar to whitewash. However, limewash is semi-permanent, whereas whitewash is a more permanent, watered-down version of existing paint.
Both brick paint options are economical and light in color, but if you want to change the appearance of your home’s brick in the future, then limewash might be a better option.
Some homeowners compare German schmear versus limewash because they look similar, though they’re different techniques. German schmear involves a thin application of mortar to stone or brick, which is then partially wiped off the surface. German schmear is more affordable ($1 to $4 per square foot), and it lasts one or two decades with minimal maintenance. As a downside, it only comes in white or gray.
If you want to avoid damaging your home's brick, you should always use a stain specifically formulated for masonry projects. These stains are designed to penetrate the porous surface of the brick and bond with it, unlike paints, which sit on the surface and are prone to peeling and flaking. Look for stains labeled for use on brick or other masonry surfaces. Avoid using regular paint on brick, as it will not adhere well and will likely lead to future maintenance issues.
