Do I have to remove ugly what I think is tile?
I don’t believe so, but it has to be perfectly clean for it to work.
The fireplace can be painted. What exactly is the type of tile?
You can paint it or tile over it.
Is this a working fireplace?
Hi Lisa. Removing the tile around your fireplace is a huge project. I would clean the existing tile thoroughly and then either paint or apply new tile over the top. Good luck!
Depends on what you want to do with it. You can frame it out and drywall in a new front or remove the tile and replace it with brick veneer or stone (the easier of the two).
Can you paint it?
