Power Washing
Freshen your home’s exterior or prepare it for painting and staining. We review the surface and buildup, then plan the right cleaning approach.
Clean Siding, Decks, Fences and Exterior Surfaces Before They Get Worse
Over time, Wisconsin homes collect dirt, algae, mildew, pollen, chalking and grime that can make siding, trim, decks, fences and entry areas look older than they really are. Power washing helps remove that buildup and restore curb appeal.
For homes in Delafield, Brookfield, Pewaukee, Hartland, Oconomowoc, Waukesha, Menomonee Falls, Mequon and nearby areas, washing is also one of the first steps before exterior painting or staining.
Power Washing for a Variety of Exterior Surfaces
Empire Painting provides power washing services for common exterior surfaces around the home. Cleaning can help surfaces look better and prepare them for painting, staining, or ongoing maintenance.

Before exterior painting or staining, washing removes contaminants that can prevent coatings from properly adhering to siding, trim, decks and wood features.
Prepare Siding, Trim and Wood Surfaces
Surface cleaning is especially important before painting or staining cedar siding, aluminum siding, fiber cement siding, decks, trim, shutters, doors and exterior wood features.

Common Questions About Power Washing and Paint Prep
Here are a few helpful things to know before scheduling power washing for exterior cleaning, painting preparation or staining preparation.
Do you power wash before exterior painting?
Yes. Exterior painting usually begins with washing because dirt, mildew, chalking and buildup can affect how well paint bonds to siding, trim and other exterior surfaces.
Can power washing help before staining a deck or wood surface?
Yes. Decks and exterior wood surfaces often need cleaning before staining so the surface is better prepared for the stain system and finish being applied.

Common surfaces include siding, trim, soffits, garage doors, decks, fences, concrete areas, entryways and exterior surfaces that need cleaning before maintenance, painting or staining.
