Pressure Washing in Lakeside, CA.
Pressure Washing for Lakeside homes, done by a licensed San Diego County C-33 crew. Pressure washing is non-negotiable before any exterior paint. Dirt, chalking paint, mildew, and spider webs will all sabotage a premium paint film if you spray over them.
Why is pressure washing different in East County San Diego?
East County dust and dry-season dirt cake onto stucco fast. Annual pressure washing is a cheap hedge against needing to repaint sooner.

Why does the East County region matter for this service?
East County dust and dry-season dirt cake onto stucco fast. Annual pressure washing is a cheap hedge against needing to repaint sooner.
Can pressure washing damage stucco or paint?
Yes, if done at the wrong pressure with the wrong tip. We use a 40° tip on stucco and 25° on concrete, hold the wand 12–18" off the surface, and never use a zero-degree tip on a home. Pressure-washing damage is almost always a sign of a DIYer or a rushed crew.
Do you do roof washing?
We soft-wash asphalt shingle roofs to kill mildew and algae streaks — low pressure, high-volume sodium hypochlorite solution, then a rinse. We don't pressure-wash tile roofs (too easy to chip) or older wood shake (splits the shakes).
