Why Pressure Washing Matters Before Painting
Dirt, mold, and mildew beneath a paint coat will cause adhesion failure within months. No primer or quality coating can compensate for a contaminated surface. We always pressure wash exterior surfaces before applying paint when the conditions warrant it.
Soft Washing vs. High Pressure
Not every surface can handle high-pressure water. Older wood siding, stucco, and some fiber cement applications require a soft-wash approach — lower pressure combined with biodegradable cleaning solutions that kill mold and algae at the root. We determine the right approach for each surface type.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long after pressure washing can you paint?
We typically wait 24 to 48 hours after washing to ensure surfaces are fully dry before applying primer or paint. In humid conditions we may wait longer.
Can pressure washing damage siding?
High pressure on the wrong surface can force water behind siding, break caulk seals, or damage wood grain. We assess each surface before determining pressure and angle settings.
