A New Paint Job Or A Pressure Wash: The Power Of Professional Cleaning

Does your house look old and dirty? Before you start researching your local painting companies and trying to decide if you’re ready to drop thousands on a new paint job, consider getting your home pressure washed first. A pressure wash can remove all the dirt and grime that’s destroying your curb appeal, making your home look as good as new. Even if you decide that your home should be repainted, you want to ensure that you have it pressure washed first, so that the paint job yields optimal results.

Here’s what you need to know about how pressure washing can refresh your home without any paint and why you’d want to have it washed before a paint job anyway. Let’s get into it.

The Power Of Clean

Unless you were already contemplating painting your home, hire a professional pressure washer to come out and work their magic before you spend your valuable time researching painting companies. Many people may realize that their house is dirty, but since said dirt and grime takes time to build up, you may not realize just how much there is marring your home’s appearance.

As such, many people begrudgingly hire a pressure washer, unsure of just how much good it will do. Then, they end up shocked at just how bright and fresh their home is once the job is done. 

Since pressure washing is cheaper than painting, if you’re ever in doubt about whether your home really needs a new paint job or if it just needs to be washed, it’s always worth it to call the professional washers first. Then, once they’ve completed the job, you can revisit the idea of painting your home to determine whether or not this is something you still wish to invest in.

Why Pressure Wash Before A Paint Job

Even if you’ve made up your mind that the exterior of your home needs a new paint job, you still want to get it washed first. There are a few reasons for this.

#1. Improve Paint Adhesion

If you try to paint a dirty surface, you are wasting your time, money, and paint. This is because paint won’t adhere well to a dirty surface. This will lead to premature peeling and cracking, causing you to need another paint job sooner rather than later. Plus, the paint job simply won’t look as smooth as it otherwise would. By ensuring that your home exterior is clean before painting, you’re improving the paint adhesion and helping your paint job last longer.

#2. Clean Hard-To-Reach Areas

Professionals know how to get to even the tricky spots of your home’s exterior, like your second story. It’s important to have a uniformly clean surface in order to achieve a uniform paint job. Hiring professionals to clean your home’s exterior prior to hiring painters helps with this.

#3. Achieve Better Results

If you’re going to shell out thousands of dollars on some fresh paint for your home, you want to ensure that the results are both going to look good and last you. However, if you were to have a dirty home with mold and mildew painted, this wouldn’t be the case. Don’t waste your money like that.

Getting your home cleaned prior to painting grants you a higher quality paint job that both looks better and lasts longer than it otherwise would. 

Ensure A Proper Pressure Wash

It’s crucial to note that you want to work with professionals, not just for the painting, but for the washing too. Professionals know how to use pressure washers properly, so that they clean your home, rather than damage it.
