What Pressure Washing Work Here Actually Involves

Shingle-style and cottage-form houses along the shore, antique colonials inland, and postwar and newer homes through the middle of town.

Most of our pressure washing work here is for coastal homeowners who have learned the hard way that exterior maintenance here is a shorter cycle.

Direct storm exposure

Minot, Sand Hills, Humarock and Cedar Point take northeasters head on. Coating life on exposed elevations is dramatically shorter than inland.

Salt and fastener corrosion

Salt attacks coatings and fasteners together. Exterior carpentry needs stainless or hot-dipped fasteners or the repair fails before the finish does.

Wind-driven rain

Rain arrives sideways here. Caulk joints, end grain and window heads are the first failures and need checking every cycle.

How Washing Work Is Approached

Soft Wash, Pressure Wash, and Which One Your Surface Needs

What drives the price

Access and surface type set the price. A single-storey ranch is straightforward. Three storeys of shingle with landscaping tight to the foundation needs different equipment, more setup and more protection of what is underneath. In Scituate specifically, the work is mostly shore-side shingle houses and inland colonials, and some of the harshest salt exposure in Massachusetts shapes how we schedule and stage it.

How the work is sequenced

Plants get wet down and covered before anything else happens. Then the appropriate method for the substrate — low pressure with a cleaning solution for siding and roofs, higher pressure only where the material can take it, like concrete. Then a full rinse from the top down so nothing dries with residue on it.

Where it usually goes wrong

High pressure on wood siding drives water behind the boards and raises the grain, which then needs sanding before it can take a coating. On asphalt shingle it strips granules and shortens the roof's life. The pressure setting is the whole skill — anyone can point a wand at a wall.

How long it takes

Most houses are a single day. If the wash is prep for painting, the surface then needs 48 hours minimum to dry before anything gets coated, and longer on north elevations that never see direct sun.

Common Questions

Questions We Get Asked

How long after washing before you paint in Scituate?

48 hours minimum, 72 on shaded or north-facing elevations. We check with a moisture meter rather than going by feel — coating damp siding is the fastest way to a failed paint job.

Will pressure damage my siding?

It can, which is why old wood and painted surfaces get soft washed at low pressure with a cleaning solution instead. High pressure is for concrete.

Can I have washing done without painting?

Yes, plenty of people do. Annual washing removes the mildew and salt film that shortens the life of whatever coating is already on there.
