Unlike standard mortar joints or painted brick, this method involves applying a thick, creamy mortar mixture over the brick surface and then wiping it back to leave a weathered, textured look. The process requires careful hand application: our crew trowels the mortar onto the brick, allowing it to partially fill the joints and coat the faces, then uses damp sponges or rags to selectively remove the excess. The result is a patchy, whitewashed appearance with visible brush strokes and varying thickness, mimicking centuries of natural aging. For Fargo homes and commercial buildings, this finish offers a practical advantage beyond aesthetics: the mortar layer adds an extra barrier against North Dakota's harsh winds and freeze-thaw cycles, helping to seal minor cracks in older brickwork. It also eliminates the need for repointing in many cases, as the fresh mortar stabilizes deteriorating joints. German Schmear works best on red or dark-toned brick, creating a striking contrast that softens the facade without fully hiding the original material. The finish is not a paint—it breathes, allowing moisture to escape, which is critical for Fargo's climate where trapped water can cause spalling during winter freezes. ## Areas We Cover in Fargo We provide German Schmear services across Fargo and its surrounding neighborhoods, including Amber Plains Second Subdivision, Amber Valley, Anderson Park, Arbor Glen, Bennett, and Berger. Our crews regularly work near local landmarks such as 7 Days Grocery, African Market, Allure Nails, and Amin Grocery Store, ensuring residents and business owners in these areas can access specialized brick finishing without long wait times or travel fees. Whether your property sits along a busy commercial corridor or in a quiet residential enclave, we bring the same attention to detail and climate-appropriate techniques. ## What to Expect - A thorough inspection of your existing brick to assess its condition and compatibility with German Schmear. - Preparation includes cleaning the brick and protecting surrounding surfaces from mortar splatter. - Hand application of a custom-mixed mortar blend, followed by a controlled wiping process to achieve the desired texture. - Curing time of 24 to 48 hours before the finish fully sets; we recommend light misting in dry weather to prevent cracking. - A final seal is optional but recommended for high-traffic areas or exterior walls facing prevailing winds. ## Get Started on Your German Schmear Project German Schmear transforms ordinary brick into a timeless facade that stands out in Fargo's neighborhoods.
