about out pre-paint wash service

Depending on requirments of the job a pre-paint house washing service removes lichen, dirt, mould, chalky residue, flaky paint, cobwebs and surface contaminants to properly prepare exterior surfaces before sanding and painting. A professional pre-paint wash helps new paint adhere better, improves finish quality, and helps extend the life and durability of the paint system.

Why is pre-paint washing important?
Pre-paint washing removes dirt, mould, chalky residue and contaminants that can prevent paint from properly bonding to the surface.
Will washing improve the life of the new paint?
Yes — properly cleaned surfaces help paint adhere better, resulting in a longer-lasting and more even finish.
Do you use high pressure for pre-paint washing?
Not always. Depends on what results need to be achieved. We use the safest cleaning method for the surface, often soft washing to avoid damage while still thoroughly cleaning.
How long should surfaces dry before painting?
Drying times vary depending on weather and surface type, but most homes should fully dry before sanding, prepping and painting begins to ensure proper paint adhesion.
