Pressure washing for exterior surfaces that need cleaning or preparation before paint or stain.

Pressure Washing

What's included in a pressure washing project

Dirt and surface buildup can interfere with a new coating. Pressure washing can be used on suitable siding, decks, patios, and other exterior surfaces as part of preparation or routine cleanup. The approach depends on the material and its condition.

What can be included

  • Siding and trim wash-down
  • Driveway and walkway cleaning
  • Mildew and buildup removal
  • Surface rinse and recovery
  • Prep-ready inspection

Planning the work

Choosing the right approach for the surface

Every surface has different cleaning needs. C-M Painting looks at the material, its condition, and the type of buildup to determine the right approach for the job.

Decks and fences

Wood needs a careful approach. We consider the condition of the wood, existing stain or finish, weathering, and damaged areas before cleaning.

Siding and painted surfaces

Siding and painted surfaces can collect dirt and buildup over time. We consider the condition of the surface and adjust the cleaning approach accordingly, especially when preparing it for new paint.

Concrete and walkways

Driveways, patios, and walkways can collect dirt and buildup over time. We consider the condition of the concrete, drainage, surrounding areas, and the size of the area being cleaned.
