    When to Power Wash Your Property

    Before Painting

    Power washing is essential before any exterior painting project. Clean surfaces allow paint to adhere properly and last longer. We include thorough power washing with all exterior painting projects.

    Regular Maintenance

    San Diego's dusty conditions, especially during Santa Ana wind season, can leave dirt and debris on your home's exterior. Regular power washing (every 1-2 years) maintains curb appeal and prevents buildup that can damage surfaces over time.

    Before Selling

    A clean exterior makes a significant first impression on potential buyers. Power washing your driveway, walkways, and home exterior is one of the most cost-effective ways to boost curb appeal before listing.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How much does power washing cost in San Diego County?

    Power washing costs in San Diego County typically range from $150-$500 for driveways, $200-$600 for patios/decks, and $300-$800 for house washing. Pricing depends on surface area, condition, and accessibility. Combination packages offer better value.

    Is power washing included with exterior painting?

    Yes, power washing is included as part of our exterior painting preparation. We thoroughly clean all surfaces before painting to ensure proper paint adhesion. Standalone power washing for maintenance is quoted separately.

    How often should I power wash my house in San Diego?

    Most San Diego homes benefit from power washing every 1-2 years to remove dirt, dust, cobwebs, and mildew. Homes near major roads, in dusty inland areas, or under trees may need more frequent cleaning.

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

    Power washing uses heated water while pressure washing uses unheated water. Both are effective for most residential applications. We use the appropriate method based on the surface type and cleaning requirements.
