It is important to keep your paint job well maintained.Simply power washing once a year can add life to your house. As the leading Denver home painters we wanted to provide a few tips to properly power wash your home.

First, make sure to close all windows, doors, vents, etc.

Second, identify any mold or mildew on siding, trim, or other areas. Use a product such as “Mold Avenger” or other bio-degradable mold killers and light water & bleach mix for mildew. Most power washers have intake hoses for mold/mildew agents. Simply add the mix to power wash.

Last, powerwash the structure, standing at a safe distance of at least 5 feet away to prevent damage to surface. Start up high on a ladder with soffits and fascia/gutters and work your way down, “sweeping” dirty areas downwards with the spray. Avoid close contact with wood, plants, skin/eyes and other delicate surfaces. Use a wide spray tip for larger areas and a narrow tip for narrow areas, such as trim and fascia. Most power washer nozzles will be adjustable.

Each side of an average sized home will take around a half hour to powerwash when done correctly.
