    Use a paste paint remover. It is tedious, but this is the best method. If you believe your house was painted before the 1970s, concerns arise regarding the proper disposal of residue from lead paint. Whatever you choose, the process will be long and tedious, but worth the work if the underlying brick is in good condition. Sometimes, brick homes are painted to disguise damage, brick covering old windows, etc.. Whatever you do, don't try pressure washing or sandblasting. Those processes, even when done carefully, can erode the brick surface and cause damage. Good luck!
