Pressure Washing in National City, CA.
Pressure Washing for National City homes, matched to a vetted San Diego County painter. 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.

South Bay driveways see heavy use and the concrete picks up oil, rubber, and tire marks. Our surface cleaner evens out the wash line without the zebra stripes a wand leaves.

South Bay city with significant pre-1950 historic housing stock plus 1950s-70s post-war tract development; pre-1978 lead-paint scope on most of the housing inventory. Mild coastal-influenced climate; 8-10 year exterior repaint cycles on premium acrylic.. South Bay driveways see heavy use and the concrete picks up oil, rubber, and tire marks.
Can pressure washing damage stucco or paint?
Yes, if done at the wrong pressure with the wrong tip. A proper technique uses a 40° tip on stucco and 25° on concrete, holding the wand 12–18" off the surface, and never a zero-degree tip on a home. Pressure-washing damage is almost always a sign of a DIYer or a rushed crew.
Do the matched contractors do roof washing?
Most do soft-washing on asphalt shingle roofs to kill mildew and algae streaks, using low pressure, high-volume sodium hypochlorite solution, then a rinse. They generally don't pressure-wash tile roofs (too easy to chip) or older wood shake (splits the shakes).
