This is a
smear campaign.Your brick
had it coming.
You love your home. That doesn’t mean you have to defend its brick.
German Smear can turn a tired exterior into the house you’re excited to pull up to. See the transformations. Then let’s talk about yours.
The house was
never the problem.
The brick was just doing a very convincing impression.
That color. Those joints. The overwhelming commitment to a decade that has already ended.
German Smear transforms the appearance of your existing brick, giving the whole exterior a fresh identity.
Same home. Considerably better first impression.
Let’s Talk About My Brick ↗We’d keep roasting the brick.
But these photos make our point.

Some brick needs a little softening. Some needs a more substantial intervention.
From subtle coverage that lets the original brick peek through to a fuller finish that changes the entire look, there’s more than one way to help your house move on.
You’ve changed the landscaping.
The lights. The front door.
Somehow, the brick is still in charge.
It covers a lot of your house. When it looks dated, the whole place feels dated.
German Smear gives that brick a different look, with color, texture, and coverage that can transform the exterior. The kind of change you notice from the street—and appreciate every time you come home.
Your front door would appreciate the backup.
We’ve roasted your brick.
Now let’s give it a few redeeming qualities.
A better looking house.
Without another chore.
Your weekends have enough going on. German Smear keeps maintenance low so you can spend more time enjoying your home and less time working on it.
More backbone.
Less embarrassment.
Fresh mortar reinforces the treated joints, giving your brick more than a confidence boost.
Curb appeal that finally
pulls its weight.
Your landscaping shouldn’t have to carry the entire property. Give your exterior a transformation that makes the whole house look better.
Your brick doesn’t need
a recurring appointment.
No routine repainting or scheduled reapplications. This makeover isn’t asking you to renew its subscription.
Your neighbor can have
the same mailbox. Let them.
Your finish is developed for your home, with its own texture, coverage, and character. Truly custom. Distinctly yours. Your brick’s chance to develop a personality you actually like.
Enough about your brick’s shortcomings.
Let’s discuss its potential.
German Smear is a mortar-based finish that transforms existing brick. How much brick shows, how much coverage you prefer, and how much texture you want all help shape the result.
Love a softly weathered look? We can explore that.
Want a brighter, more substantial transformation? We can explore that, too.
You don’t have to arrive knowing the name of your perfect finish. A few photos and an enthusiastic “anything but this” give us somewhere to start.
We talk a little trash.
Our work cleans up nicely.
Behind the banter is German Smear Specialists: a team dedicated to transforming brick homes.
From the first project conversation through installation and final review, your project stays with GSS and our own artisans.
We help you explore the possibilities, develop your finish direction, and turn “we should do something about the brick” into something you’re glad you did.
Here’s how your brick
gets its redemption story.

Become the after photo.
We establish your finish direction through the sample process, then get to work on the transformation.
A few reasonable questions amid all these brick allegations.
Will my original brick still show?
It can. We can develop a finish with more brick showing or fuller mortar coverage. The amount of original brick you see is part of choosing your look.
Will my house look like everyone else’s?
Your brick, your home, and your finish choices shape the result. Each finish has its own variation and character. Your house gets its own identity.
Will I need to keep repainting it?
German Smear is a mortar-based finish with no routine repainting or scheduled reapplication cycle. You can find something else to put off on Saturday.
Can you help if I don’t know which finish I want?
Absolutely. Show us your home and a few looks you like. We’ll help you explore the options without assigning you a second job researching brick.
How much will it cost?
That depends on your home, the surfaces involved, and the finish you choose. Start with an estimate request so we can talk about your actual project.
Your brick has had years to make a good impression.
