Colorado’s climate is tough on exterior surfaces. The intense UV exposure, temperature swings, and dry air create unique problems that require specific knowledge and tools.

Common questions about Power Washing

How long should I wait to paint after power washing my house?

You should wait 24 to 72 hours after power washing before painting, depending on weather conditions and surface material. Wood surfaces typically need longer drying time than vinyl or aluminum siding. We always do a touch test to ensure surfaces are completely dry before any painting begins. The key is making sure all moisture has evaporated from the surface and any cracks or joints where water might have penetrated. Painting too soon after power washing can trap moisture under the paint, leading to adhesion problems and premature failure. We coordinate timing carefully so your surfaces are perfectly prepared when it’s time to paint.

Can power washing damage my home's siding or exterior surfaces?

Yes, improper power washing can definitely cause damage, which is why professional expertise matters. Using too much pressure can strip paint, damage wood grain, crack vinyl siding, or drive water into joints and electrical components. Different materials require different pressure settings – what works for concrete can destroy wood siding. We use professional-grade equipment with precise pressure control and the right nozzles for each surface. Our team knows exactly how much pressure each material can handle and how to clean effectively without causing damage. We also protect electrical outlets, light fixtures, and landscaping before we start.

What's the difference between power washing and soft washing?

Power washing uses high-pressure water to remove dirt and grime, while soft washing uses low pressure combined with specialized cleaning solutions. Power washing is ideal for hard surfaces like concrete, brick, and stone, and for paint preparation where you need to remove oxidation and ensure proper adhesion. Soft washing is better for delicate surfaces like roofs, painted wood, or areas where high pressure might cause damage. As professional painters, we understand when each method is appropriate. For paint preparation, power washing is typically necessary to create the clean, slightly rough surface that new paint needs to bond properly.

How often should I have my house power washed in Colorado?

Most homes in Larimer County benefit from professional power washing every 1-2 years, though this depends on several factors. Homes with more shade, higher humidity, or surrounded by trees may need more frequent cleaning due to mold and mildew growth. South-facing surfaces that get intense sun exposure may need attention more often. If you’re planning to paint, power washing is essential regardless of when it was last done – proper surface preparation is critical for paint adhesion and longevity. Regular maintenance power washing actually extends the life of your exterior surfaces and can help you avoid more expensive repairs.

Do you handle landscaping and electrical protection during power washing?

Absolutely. Protecting your property is a standard part of our service. Before we start any power washing, we cover or remove delicate plants, protect electrical outlets and fixtures with plastic sheeting, and secure anything that could be damaged by water or cleaning solutions. We use biodegradable cleaning products that are safe for plants and won’t harm your landscaping if overspray occurs. All electrical components get properly covered and sealed to prevent water intrusion. We also protect air conditioning units, outdoor lighting, and any other sensitive equipment. After we’re finished, we remove all protective materials and clean up completely.

Can you power wash different types of surfaces for painting preparation?

Yes, and this is actually our specialty since we’re professional painters first. Different surfaces require different approaches for optimal paint preparation. Vinyl siding needs moderate pressure to clean without damage, while concrete can handle higher pressure to remove stubborn stains. Wood surfaces require careful pressure control to avoid grain damage, and stucco needs special attention to prevent water intrusion into cracks. We adjust our technique, pressure settings, and cleaning solutions based on what we’re preparing for painting. The goal isn’t just to make surfaces look clean – it’s to create the ideal surface condition for maximum paint adhesion and longevity.
