Q: Can you German smear over painted brick?

• <div><p>A traditional German schmear uses mortar, making it unsuitable for adherence to painted surfaces. Professionals recommend removing any existing paint before applying mortar. However, you can rough up the painted surface and clean it to test if the mortar will stick. Remember that the underlying paint's texture and color may affect the schmear's final appearance&mdash;so starting with a bare brick wall will ensure the ideal finish.</p></div>

Derek did excellent work painting our triple garage doors and staining the large front door and trim. Not a drop of paint got anywhere it was not meant to be. We will certainly hire him again for any future painting. His work is top quality.

We had a big crack in our drywall on a large living room wall. Joseph repaired it to perfection. Once painted, you could not see where the crack had been.

Unfortunately, I have had to update an initially positive review- we have received no communication or follow-up after multiple attempts to contact for help with a failing house paint job. We hired Fryers for a significant exterior house paint job. With less than a year out, there is peeling...

O'Brien's crew did superb work. The prep work included a great deal of sanding, and was done better than I could have done it myself. His crew painted many windows, which look great! They were very careful to protect the furniture and floors, and to close off the areas being sanded (in case...

They did great. An amazing amount of prep work. They were quite a bit more expensive than the "cut rate" outfit we used last time, and you get what you pay for. They ended up removing a good bit of the old paint and primed and painted everything. The did a lot of surface preparation (filling in...
