Why Pressure Washing Before Exterior Painting Matters

Clean substrate, kill mildew, and improve adhesion — the wash step pros never skip.

Paint fails on dirty siding

Coatings bond to contaminants if you paint over them. Pressure washing is standard prep on our exterior quotes — especially on shaded north elevations.

Soft-wash vs high pressure
