Power washing is an important step in maintaining the exterior of your home and preparing surfaces for painting or staining. Empire Painting provides professional power washing services throughout Milwaukee, Lake Country, and surrounding Southeast Wisconsin communities.
Proper washing removes dirt, mildew, chalking, and environmental buildup that can accumulate on siding, trim, decks, and other exterior surfaces. This cleaning process helps restore the appearance of your home while preparing surfaces for long-lasting paint or stain applications.
Why Power Washing Is Important
Over time, exterior surfaces collect dirt, pollen, mildew, and other contaminants that can affect both appearance and coating performance.
Power washing helps:
- Restore the appearance of siding and exterior surfaces
- Remove chalking from painted aluminum siding
- Eliminate dirt and mildew buildup
- Prepare surfaces for painting or staining
- Improve overall curb appeal
Cleaning surfaces properly before applying coatings is one of the most important steps in ensuring a durable paint or stain job.
Surfaces We Commonly Clean

Power washing can significantly improve the appearance of these surfaces while preparing them for maintenance or repainting.
Power Washing Before Painting
Exterior painting projects almost always begin with surface cleaning. Washing removes contaminants that could prevent coatings from properly adhering to the surface.
Empire Painting uses low-pressure washing techniques when appropriate to safely clean exterior materials while protecting siding and surrounding landscaping.
This preparation step is especially important for materials such as:
- Cedar siding
- Aluminum siding
- Fiber cement siding
Proper surface cleaning helps ensure paint coatings perform well and maintain their appearance over time.
