Power Washing: A Key Step In Every Painting & Staining Project
A paint or stain job is only as good as the surface it’s applied to. Before any new coat goes on, the surface needs to be clear of dirt, dust, and grime that could cause peeling or bubbling down the road. That’s why power washing is built into our standard painting process, it strips away dirt, mold, mildew, pollen, and other buildup from your home’s exterior, setting the stage for a finish that actually lasts.
West Hartford homes deal with a distinct set of seasonal challenges: humid, sticky summers that invite mold and mildew growth, followed by harsh New England winters with repeated freeze-thaw cycles that stress exterior surfaces. Add in pollen, tree sap, and leaf debris common throughout Hartford County, and it’s easy to see why siding, trim, and decks take a beating year-round. The team at CertaPro Painters® of West Hartford, CT knows how to get exteriors looking fresh again, and can recommend finishes built to hold up against Connecticut’s changing seasons. Power washing is available as a standalone service for wood, concrete, brick, and aluminum surfaces, or as the essential first step before any painting or staining project.

"Marc was quick with the estimate and sure to answer all of our questions. Once the power washing was completed, the process was quick. We had a new rescue dog that was timid. The guys were very considerate of when and where the dog was. They had no problem working on a different part of the house when she was outside. Very appreciated.
It was a huge change going from olive to white. We are very pleased!"

Our Process To Achieve a Lasting Paint or Stain
Exterior painting from CertaPro Painters® follows a five-step process: washing, surface preparation, painting, cleanup, and inspection.
Power Wash
As part of our prep work, we'll power wash or hand wash any areas of your home's exterior that need it, removing dirt and mildew ahead of painting.
Surface Preparation
We scrape away any loose paint, scuff sand glossy surfaces, and caulk any gaps we find. Together, these steps create a smoother finish and help keep water from getting in.
Paint or Stain
For staining projects, we apply stain evenly to seal the surface. For painting projects, we prime any repaired areas before applying premium-quality paint.
Clean Up
Once the work is finished, our crew cleans up the work area, sweeping away paint chips and packing up all tools and supplies.
Final Inspection
After we've completed our own walkthrough, your job site supervisor will walk the space with you so you can review the work and share your initial thoughts.

Power Washing vs. Pressure Washing: What’s the Difference?
Though the terms are often used interchangeably, power washing and pressure washing actually refer to two different methods. Power washing relies on heated water, making it ideal for breaking down tough grease, oil, or set-in stains on surfaces like concrete and brick — a great option for homeowners looking to clean up a patio. Pressure washing, on the other hand, uses high-pressure cold water and offers a gentler approach, making it a better fit for routine cleaning on more delicate surfaces like wood siding, decks, or fences. Many homeowners already own a pressure washer but may not realize its limits when it comes to stubborn stains or certain materials. Because using the wrong technique can lead to costly damage, CertaPro’s professionals evaluate each project individually to determine the safest, most effective cleaning method for your home.
Why Hire a Professional For Your Power Washing Project?
Getting your home’s exterior surfaces washed and refinished should be a stress-free experience, not a frustrating DIY gamble. Here’s why partnering with a professional painting contractor makes all the difference:
- Avoid Costly Damage: Incorrect pressure settings can etch concrete, strip paint, or force water behind siding, which can lead to mold growth and rot over time. Our team understands precise PSI settings and uses commercial-grade equipment to clean your property thoroughly while preserving its structural integrity.
- Better Preparation, Longer Paint Adhesion: DIY pressure washing often leaves behind uneven results, with mildew, chalky residue, or other grime still clinging to the surface. By matching the right tool and technique to each surface, our team preps your home properly so new paint adheres well and lasts longer before your next refresh is due.
- Time and Convenience: From your initial free estimate through the final walkthrough, we handle every step of the process, so you can enjoy a refreshed property without lifting a finger.
- Expertise with Local Climate Considerations: We understand what West Hartford homes need. Whether it’s wood siding being prepped for new stain or a concrete patio getting refreshed alongside the rest of the project, we use professional techniques built to hold up against Connecticut’s shifting seasons.
- A Reputation for Excellence: Our attention to detail and commitment to quality have earned us a strong reputation throughout Hartford County. Don’t just take our word for it – see what our customers say about us!
