Pressure Washing for House Painting
When it comes to painting, even the best products won't stick to dirty or damp surfaces. That’s why we offer professional pressure washing as part of our prep process, ensuring your new paint job starts smooth and stays strong.
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.
Pressure Washing FAQs
Pressure washing plays a crucial role in prepping your home’s exterior for paint or upkeep. These FAQs cover the basics—when to wash, how it works, and why it matters.
Should you pressure wash before painting?
Yes, pressure washing is a key first step in exterior paint prep. It removes dirt, moss, and grime so that new paint adheres better and lasts longer.
Do professional painters clean before painting?
Yes, experienced painting companies like Paint-Right Painting include cleaning as part of the prep process. We use professional pressure washing to ensure a clean, paint-ready surface.
What are the risks of DIY pressure washing?
Using too much pressure or the wrong nozzle can damage siding, strip paint, or force water into cracks. Hiring professionals helps you avoid costly mistakes and ensures better results.
How long should you wait between pressure washing and painting?
Typically, surfaces should dry for at least 24 to 48 hours after pressure washing. Dry time depends on the weather and the material being painted.
What PSI pressure washer is best for paint prep?
For most siding materials, a PSI range of 1,500–2,500 is ideal. It’s strong enough to clean thoroughly without damaging the surface.
