Pressure Washing as Part of Paint Prep

As a painting company, we know how to prep for coatings that last. Our pressure washing is done with paint in mind—carefully selected pressure settings and cleansers that protect surfaces while prepping them for a flawless finish.


Siding & Trim Washing

We remove mold, moss, dirt, and chalky residue from wood, vinyl, and fiber-cement siding to create a solid base for paint or stain. Clean siding ensures better adhesion and longer-lasting coverage.


Decks, Patios & Walkways

Power washing these high-traffic areas removes slippery buildup and restores natural color before staining or sealing. It’s also a great way to boost curb appeal during a refresh.


Soffits, Fascia & Eaves

These often-overlooked areas collect grime and cobwebs over time. We clean them thoroughly so paint applies evenly and resists peeling or flaking.
