Power Washing Guide

Essential Guide to Power Washing Before Painting Your House

A high-quality, long-lasting paint job begins with preparation, and the most important step of all is power washing. Often underestimated, pressure washing is the foundation upon which a perfect finish is built for homes in Clifton and Passaic County.

Why is Power Washing a Critical Step?

The exterior surface of your house accumulates dirt, dust, mold, algae, and cobwebs. If you paint directly over this dirt, the paint will not adhere properly. This can cause the paint to peel or crack in a short amount of time. A professional power wash removes all these impurities, creating a clean and smooth surface for the paint. This process ensures the new color looks vibrant and lasts for many years in the New Jersey climate.

The Professional Power Washing Process

A professional painter in Passaic County won't just spray water at high pressure. We use specialized equipment that adjusts the pressure according to the type of surface (wood, vinyl, brick) to avoid damage. We also use biodegradable detergents that clean deeply without harming the environment.
