Fireplace Finish Request (RFP Section)

Scope:
We are seeking a contractor to create a clean, modern fireplace finish using an affordable and fire-safe base such as concrete or cement board. The design goal is to emulate a Studio McGee–style fireplace with a soft, natural finish—preferably a limestone-washed concrete surface that brings a subtle plastered texture with tonal movement.

Preferred Materials & Finish:

• Substrate: Cement board or smooth poured concrete (must be non-combustible and fireplace-safe)

• Topcoat: Thin limestone wash or lime-based plaster applied over concrete for a soft, matte effect

• Color tone: Light warm-white, off-white, or natural limestone hue (open to tinting options)

• Sheen: Matte finish (no gloss)

• Texture: Lightly hand-troweled or brushed for subtle variation (not polished or heavily textured)

• Sealer (if required): Breathable, heat-rated matte sealant

Design Notes:

• Finish should extend full height to vaulted ceiling

• Edges and corners should be clean and modern (no heavy trim or molding)

• Must withstand heat exposure from gas fireplace

• Optional: floating white oak mantel install (6–8" thick, slab-style)

Budget Sensitivity:
Cost-effective execution is a priority. Please quote both:

• Option A: Site-applied DIY-style Ardex or cement plaster with limestone wash

• Option B: Professional application of lime-based plaster or limestone-finish stucco
  Please include itemized material and labor estimates.

• Mantel: Natural white oak (clear finish) – 6"–8" thick floating beam

• Paint Color (surround walls): Sherwin-Williams Elder White (SW 7014) – already used by client

  
  

3. Dining Area

• Wall Paint: Elder White (SW 7014)

• Window Trim (if updated): Natural or whitewashed white oak

• Chandelier: Brass or antique gold 6-arm candelabra-style (restoration or McGee-style)

• Rug: Persian-inspired muted vintage-style rug in ivory/terracotta tones

• Accent Color Inspiration: Sherwin-Williams Accessible Beige (SW 7036) or Natural Linen (SW 9109)

4. Loft Railing

• Option A: Vertical white oak pickets, squared posts (Shea McGee classic cottage)

• Option B: Slim matte black metal balusters (industrial-modern)

• Top Rail: White oak handrail or minimalist metal
