Transform Your Brick Home with a German Smear – And Boost Its Value

Looking to increase your brick home’s curb appeal and property value? At Lonestar Masonry Repair, we specialize in a classic masonry technique known as the German smear, a cost-effective and stylish way to upgrade the look of your home’s exterior.

What Is a German Smear?

A German smear (also called a mortar wash) is a decorative brick finishing technique where wet mortar is applied to a brick surface and then partially wiped off before it dries. The result is a textured, aged appearance that adds timeless character to any brick home.

Whether you want to modernize an older home or add charm to a newer build, this technique is a stunning way to update brick exteriors without replacing the brick itself.

Smear for Your Brick Home

Boost Your Curb Appeal

If you’re searching for ways to improve home curb appeal, a German smear offers instant impact. This technique creates a high-end, customized look that draws attention and makes your home stand out in any neighborhood.

Increase Property Value

Real estate experts agree—homes with updated exteriors sell faster and for more money. A professional German smear application from Lonestar Masonry Repair can increase your home’s value by giving it a distinctive, upscale look that buyers love.

Affordable Alternative to Full Brick Replacement

Why pay for a full exterior renovation when you can achieve a refreshed look with a German smear? This technique is a budget-friendly brick makeover that doesn’t require demolition or expensive materials.

Low Maintenance and Durable

Unlike paint or stain, a German smear doesn’t peel, chip, or fade. It also adds an extra layer of protection to your brick, helping shield it from the elements. That means less maintenance and more long-term value for your investment.

Customizable Style for Every Home

Choose from clean, white finishes for a modern farmhouse look or go for a heavier smear to create a European cottage vibe. Our team helps you design a custom look that complements your home’s architectural style
