Do You Need to Pressure Wash Your Home Before Painting It?
There’s nothing that cleans up your Alpharetta home and instantly boosts its curb value like a fresh coat of paint. Painting your home’s exterior also gives you a new decorating foundation to work with. After that new color goes on, you can start coordinating your garden beds and trim to match. The opportunities are endless!
Before you break out the brushes and ladders, however, you need to make sure that the walls are ready to take a new coat of paint.
Pressure washing your home is a crucial step in the house painting process.
Why Pressure Wash Before Painting?
There are a few reasons why you should make sure your home’s exterior is thoroughly clean before painting:
- Painting over dirt and other debris will leave strange marks on your home
- New paint won’t adhere well to loose paint chips from the last color
- Your home may be covered in mildew that can cause walls and siding to rot
Only pressure washing is powerful enough to quickly remove debris, stains, paint chips, fungus, and mildew.
How to Pressure Wash Your Home Before Painting
While painting can be a fun and safe DIY project, you can’t say the same for pressure washing. Pressure washing involves some heavy and complex equipment that can cause property damage and injury to humans and pets if not done correctly.
