Remove accidental paint from brick?

[us3rnotfound]

Does anyone know of a good method to get some paint off of brick? I hired some painters to paint my cedar house, and while they did a great job, they were sloppy in some areas where wood meets brick. I tried some goof off paint remover and it is working but I don’t think it’ll completely remove the paint. Thanks!

What if you pressure wash it while still softened by the paint remover?

Call the painters back and have them remove it.

Ask them nicely.
If they don't, unleash the hell that is social media

Or if he's in a state that requires contractors to be licensed, file a complaint.

If it were my problem, I'd blast it with a pressure washer, then carefully spot clean with Sure Clean if needed. Follow the Sure Clean instructions, as this contains strong acid. The brick must be saturated beforehand, diluted accordingly, stains rubbed with a stone or brick, and rinsed thoroughly. This could be dangerous, as the joints may lighten or darken afterwords. Mostly let the contractor fix it.

Wait
You mean there are still states that don't require contractors to be licensed and bonded

Texas is one, don't know about any others.
Oddly enough, here in California contractors can't say they're bonded, even though you can't get or renew a license without one.
