The Easy Way To Restore Fireplace Brick
Do you need to restore some of the natural color and texture of the original brickwork surrounding your fireplace opening? Chemical stripping doesn’t work very well. The alternative is sandblasting. Most homeowners are ill equipped to take on a sandblasting job, especially an inside one. The preparation is intense and the cleanup of sand and leavings will be significant. Also, a deft touch with the wand is necessary to avoid gouging out too much mortar while trying to get rid of the paint. It’s a job better left to the pros. To find someone to tackle the job, you might check the Yellow Pages. Call several blasters to see if they can do the job and get references. As an alternative, you might want to consider another alternative to sandblasting such as refacing with brick. It would be a lot less messy than sandblasting; you could choose the look you want; and it’s definitely a do-it-yourself project.
