Treating Your Home As We Treat Our Own

Included Surface Preparation for Every Exterior Paint Job

Proper surface preparation is the foundation of any quality exterior paint job. At Franklin Custom Finish, power washing is included as an essential step in every exterior painting project—removing years of dirt, grime, mold, mildew, and chalky residue to ensure paint adheres properly and lasts for years rather than peeling prematurely.
Our professional-grade power washing equipment delivers adjustable pressure levels tailored to each surface type. Delicate stucco receives gentle washing that removes contaminants without damaging the texture, while concrete, brick, and masonry can handle stronger pressure for deep cleaning. We also use appropriate detergents and treatments for mold and mildew that ensure these organisms are killed, not just rinsed away.
Power washing reveals the true condition of your exterior surfaces, exposing areas of damage, peeling paint, and deterioration that need repair before painting. This critical inspection step ensures we address all issues during preparation, rather than painting over problems that will resurface later. The result is a longer-lasting, better-looking paint job that protects your investment.
Every exterior painting project we complete in Lakeside, Santee, El Cajon, Alpine, Poway, and La Mesa includes professional power washing as part of our comprehensive surface preparation. This commitment to proper prep work is why Franklin Custom Finish exterior paint jobs look better and last longer than budget alternatives.
