Pressure Washing for Paint Preparation
Get the Perfect Surface Before You Paint
Before applying a fresh coat of paint to any exterior surface, proper preparation is crucial.
At So Clean Solutions, we specialize in pressure washing for paint preparation, helping homeowners and property managers ensure a long-lasting, professional-looking finish.

Why Pressure Washing Before Painting Is Essential
Over time, exterior surfaces accumulate dirt, mildew, chalking, old paint residue, and other contaminants that can prevent new paint from properly adhering. Skipping the pressure washing step—or doing it incorrectly—can lead to poor results like peeling, bubbling, or premature fading.
Our expert team removes these surface impurities efficiently and safely, setting the stage for a clean, sound surface that paint can bond to.

We prepare a wide variety of exterior surfaces, including:
- Siding (wood, vinyl, fiber cement)
- Stucco and brick

- Garage doors and trim
