Q: Can German schmear be removed?

• <div><p>Think hard before deciding to German schmear your home&rsquo;s exterior brickwork. If you do not like the look, you are pretty much stuck with it, as it is impossible to remove this finish the way you can remove paint. You risk damaging the underlying brick if you have to chisel and acid-wash it away. It will also take a very long time, and remnants of the mortar wash will always remain.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth removing paint from brick?

• <div><p>Removing paint from brick can have both aesthetic and practical value. Some people prefer the timeless look of bare brick, making it worthwhile to remove old paint layers. Brick also lasts longer when unpainted, as paint traps moisture, causing the brick to deteriorate more quickly. If your brick walls are already in bad shape, stripping the paint off might do more harm than good.</p></div>

Q: What causes paint to peel?

• <div><p>The most common reason paint peels is because moisture gets trapped underneath it and disrupts its bond with the wall. Other causes for peeling paint include a poor original paint job, painting over a surface with dirt or other foreign material on it, or applying paint coats that are too thick.</p></div>

Q: Is it safe to sand off paint?

• <div><p>Sanding paint that contains lead is never safe, and sanding modern paints can still be hazardous. However, you can protect yourself by wearing a high-quality respirator during the process or by using a wet-sanding technique. You can wet the wall and then sand or use a wet sanding tool to achieve this. </p></div>

Q: Will rubbing alcohol remove caulk residue?

• <div><p>The list of what removes caulk residue includes rubbing alcohol. In some cases, rubbing alcohol can also help remove water-based caulk. However, old caulk or caulk that&rsquo;s in layers from years of upkeep and projects might prove to be too much for simple rubbing alcohol and may require a caulk-removing solution from a home improvement store. </p></div>

Robert is a true professional when it comes to stucco repair. I had 4 large areas that needed patching and you can't tell where the holes were. Great job. I'd highly recommend Robert and Pueblo West Stucco for any job. Polite, friendly, and knows what he's doing. Thanks Robert.

Slow workers, which drags out the total construction time. The quality of the work is marginal, with the finish drywall surface not without minor imprefections; i.e not ready for painting

Jim and his team cut my cost by about 50% by not replacing the drywall but restoring what I had (with multiple layers of wallpaper) to make it paint ready. It's now been painted and looks great. <br />

I asked him to paint me a picture of my dog and we got together and talked out exactly what I wanted. He painted it in a timely manner and also helped me get it framed which was also an excellent experience. I am very happy with the results and plan to have my next piece of artwork done...

"Had our basement finished by Luke in first half of 2018. We hired Luke because he listened to what we wanted and provided a great plan to maximize the available space within our modest budget. He worked at a steady pace with an apprentice to do the majority of the work -- framing, egress window install, drywall, multiple door install, closets, shower surround install, painting and flooring. What he couldn't do legally, he hired competent helpers: plumber, electrician, and HVAC. I would not hesitate to hire Luke. He is a friendly communicator, excellent craftsman and a man of integrity (you can take him at his word)."
