Pressure Washing Before Painting in Nashville
We pressure wash only as prep for a painting, staining or limewash job we are doing. We do not offer washing-only service, so we cannot book a house, driveway, deck or fence wash on its own.
We reply within 5 minutes.

What's included
Washing as prep, and what we do not offer
Paint, stain and limewash need a clean surface to hold. As part of your project we wash the surfaces in the scope, such as siding, brick, trim, decks and fences, so dirt, mildew and loose coating come off before we coat them. Washing is written into the estimate as prep. It is not a stand-alone service: we do not take washing-only jobs, and we do not wash driveways, patios or roofs on their own.
Prep for coating
Siding, brick, trim, decks and fences are washed before we paint, stain or limewash them.
Dry before coating
Washed surfaces dry before the next step goes on.
No washing-only jobs
If there is no painting, staining or limewash, we cannot book the wash.
Written scope
What gets washed is listed in your estimate with the rest of the prep.

What affects the price
Washing is priced inside your painting, staining or limewash estimate, not as its own job. Published exterior guidance is below for context only, not a quote. Size, stories, access and the condition of each surface change the number. More on what painting costs.

What clients say
“Josh came out and pressure washed the whole job and then sprayed 2 coats of stain because the wood siding was thirsty as I had neglected to stain it for one, maybe two years too long. But when he finished, it looked like a new house.”
Chan M. · Yelp review excerpt“I recently engaged the House Painters to power wash and re-stain the red cedar picket fence surrounding our home on Old Hickory Lake.”
