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.

What We Pressure Wash Before Painting

We prepare a wide variety of exterior surfaces, including:

  • Siding (wood, vinyl, fiber cement)
  • Stucco and brick
  • Fences and decks
  • Garage doors and trim
  • Soffits and fascia
  • Foundations and retaining walls

We tailor the pressure and technique to each material, ensuring thorough cleaning without damage.
