Before Painting, Pressure Wash!
Painting your home is a required maintenance task if you have wood siding. The siding can last for generations if it’s regularly preserved with a strong protective sealant such as paint or stain. Typically paint is the sealant of choice.
Before painting though, you’ll want to ensure that your siding is devoid of dirt and particles. Painting over things like dirt, bird droppings, and other kinds of filth is a bad idea, since when that dirt comes loose, so does the paint that covers it, leaving an unprotected and unsightly spot on your house.
The very best way to blast away the grime is with a professional pressure wash service, however, there is a right way and a wrong way to do so, which is why we recommend hiring the professionals at Corporate Cleaning Services. While pressure washers are efficient in stripping old paint, that’s not exactly what you want to do right here. You want to ensure that enough pressure is used to get your siding clean, however not so strong that you strip paint.
You want to limit the amount of water coming into contact with raw, neglected wood. This can cause water damage and damage your siding.
