German schmear is a durable brick masonry coating. It should last at least a decade or two without flaking or fading, even with minimal maintenance.

Failing to repair damaged stucco can lead to significant problems. Cracks can grow and deepen, allowing water and moisture to get behind the stucco. This moisture intrusion can cause water damage, structural issues, and mold or mildew growth.
