Power Washing is the Foundation of Our Exterior Paint Process
Exterior painting from CertaPro Painters usually follows a five-step process: washing, surface preparation, painting, cleaning, and inspection. The first step, washing, is the foundation of the entire project to remove mold, oil, and old paint so new paint can absorb into your surface better.

1 Power Wash
Any necessary areas of your home’s exterior will be power washed or hand washed to remove dirt and mildew.

2 Prep
Any loose paint is scraped, glossy areas are scuff sanded and any gaps are caulked to prevent water intrusion.

3 Paint
Your repaired areas are primed before premium-quality paint is applied to your home’s exterior, creating a uniform finish.

4 Clean
At the end of each day, the painting crew cleans up around your home, ensuring any paint chips are removed and all materials are stored neatly away.

5 Inspect
After our own inspection, your job site supervisor will walk you through the space, giving you the opportunity to review our work and to provide any initial feedback.
The Impact of Chantilly, VA Weather On Your Home’s Exterior
In the Chantilly area, our homes face a unique mix of seasonal weather conditions, from pollen-filled springs and humid summers to wet, leaf-covered autumns. Over time, these factors allow dirt, mold, mildew, and algae to build up on siding, decks, driveways, and walkways. Power washing is an effective way to remove these contaminants before they cause permanent staining or damage to your home’s surfaces. Beyond improving curb appeal, a thorough power wash can help protect your property’s value and prolong the lifespan of exterior materials.
By clearing away grime and organic growth, you prevent premature deterioration, improve paint adhesion, and prepare surfaces for fresh finishes. Whether you’re getting ready to repaint or simply want your home to look its best, professional power washing from CertaPro Painters of Chantilly ensures your property stays clean, well-maintained, and ready to withstand the elements year-round.
