Pressure Washing in Bucks County

Paint will not bond to a chalky or dirty surface. On an exterior job the wash is part of the work rather than an add on, and it is worth doing on its own too.

The short version
Pressure washing and house washing across Bucks County. Siding, trim, decks, porches, walkways and patios, either as its own job or as the first step before exterior painting.

01Pressure matched to the surface
Vinyl, aluminum, wood, brick and stucco all take water differently, and the mistake is treating them the same. A lot of what people call pressure washing is better done at low pressure and let the cleaner do the work. Full pressure on old wood or stucco forces water behind the surface, which causes a problem bigger than the dirt was.
02What actually comes off
Dirt is the easy part. What makes a house look tired is mildew, algae on the north side, pollen, spider webbing under the soffits, and chalked off coating that rubs away on your hand. Those need a cleaner and dwell time, not just water, and getting them off is what makes the difference you can see from the street.
03Before the paint goes on
When the wash is prep for painting, it is timed so the surface is properly dry before any coating goes on, and it is followed by the scraping, caulking and priming the house needs. Washing and then painting the same afternoon is how you trap moisture under a new coat.

What it costs

Priced to the job, not a template.

Washing is priced by the size of the house or the surface, how many stories, what the material is, and how much growth and chalking is on it. When it is prep for an exterior paint job it is normally folded into that estimate rather than billed separately. Either way we look at it first and the price is written down before anything starts. Estimates are free.

Questions

Common questions.

Do you pressure wash as a standalone service?

Yes. House washing and surface cleaning can be booked on its own, or as the first step of an exterior painting job. Either way it is the same work.

Why does an exterior paint job need a wash first?

Paint will not bond to a chalky or dirty surface. Siding collects dust, pollen, mildew and chalked off coating, and anything that goes over that is sitting on loose material. On an exterior job the wash is part of the work rather than an add on.

Will the pressure damage my siding?

Not the way we do it. Pressure gets matched to the surface, and a lot of what people call pressure washing is better done at low pressure with the right cleaner doing the work. Blasting vinyl, old wood or stucco at full pressure forces water behind it.

What do you not wash?

We will tell you when a surface should not be washed, usually failing paint, rotted wood or bad glazing that will take on water. Those get repaired first. Roofs are not something we do.
