Pressure washing that preps the surface for paint, not just rinses it
We match the method to the material. Concrete gets high pressure and a surface cleaner for an even finish. Stucco, painted siding, and wood get a soft wash with the right cleaning solution so nothing is etched, stripped, or forced under the siding.
- Same crew that paints the house, so we know what the surface needs
- Surface cleaner on flatwork, soft wash on walls and wood
- Plants, fixtures, and outlets protected
- Honest assessment of paint condition before we spray
Pressure washing as paint preparation
Paint does not stick to chalk, mildew, or dirt. Every exterior painting job we do in Gainesville starts with a thorough wash and a full day to dry, and it is the single biggest reason our exterior work holds up. If your house is not ready for paint yet but the siding has gone green on the north side, a standalone wash buys another season or two and tells us what condition the paint is really in.
Driveways, pool decks, and flatwork
Concrete driveways, sidewalks, patios, and pool decks are cleaned with a surface cleaner rather than a wand, which leaves an even finish without the stripes a wand leaves behind. Oil spots and rust stains get a pre-treatment. Pavers are washed at lower pressure to protect the joint sand.
Soft washing for stucco, siding, and wood
Stucco, vinyl, painted siding, and wood fences are soft washed: a cleaning solution is applied at low pressure, allowed to work, and rinsed off. High pressure on these surfaces etches stucco, forces water behind siding, and raises the grain on wood. If your paint is already failing, we tell you before we start, since washing will remove loose paint and you should know that going in.
From our family to yours
Pressure washing is not the reason most people call us, but it is a service our Gainesville customers ask for and we are happy to do it well. Because we are painters first, we know exactly how much pressure each surface can take, and we would rather tell you your paint is failing than blast it off and leave you with a bigger problem. If you need pressure washing in Gainesville or the surrounding towns, we are glad to help.

Pressure Washing we have done for our neighbors
Will pressure washing damage my siding or paint?
Not when it is done at the right pressure. We soft wash stucco, siding, and painted surfaces and reserve high pressure for concrete. If your paint is already failing, we tell you before we start.
How often should a Gainesville home be pressure washed?
Most homes need it once a year. Shaded north-facing walls and driveways under oaks often need it sooner.
Do you pressure wash before painting?
Every exterior painting job we do starts with a wash. Paint bonds to clean surfaces, and that is a large part of why our exterior work holds up.
