House washing in Auckland

It’s important to keep exterior surfaces free of dirt and mould to prevent paint deterioration over time. An annual house-wash extends the life of the paintwork on your home by several years.

Houses have many different types of surfaces and some can be easily damaged if they’re not pressure washed correctly. We take care to make sure your home is washed sensitively, with the right products.

Mould, lichen and grime build up quickly in Auckland’s humid climate, especially on the shaded sides of a house. Left in place, they hold moisture against the surface and break down the paint film, which leads to flaking and fading well before a repaint should be due.

A full wash is part of our exterior painting process, so every surface is clean before any preparation or paint begins. It gives the new coats a sound surface to bond to and helps the finish last.

Weatherboards, plaster, brick, cedar and older timber all need a different approach, and we adjust the pressure and cleaning products to suit each one. Keeping up an annual wash between repaints is one of the simplest ways to protect your investment in quality paintwork and keep your home looking its best.

Washing is carried out by the same team who paint your home, so we know exactly what each surface needs before any paint goes on. A fresh wash is also a quick way to lift the look of your home before you sell, or simply ahead of summer. Ask us about adding a wash to your next exterior repaint quote.

Excellent job, very efficient, reliable and tidy. Would highly recommend to anyone.
