Pressure Washing & Surface Preparation San Antonio

Pressure washing is positioned at Dry Coats as part of professional preparation for painting and coating work — not as a standalone cleaning service. The goal is to prepare a surface so a coating bonds and performs, not simply to make it look clean for a day.

Appropriate applications include stucco, masonry, siding where substrate and manufacturer conditions permit, fencing, decking, exterior painted surfaces, concrete, commercial exteriors, and selected preparation areas. Each substrate requires a different approach.

Pressure, tip selection, distance, cleaning method, and surface condition must be appropriate for the substrate. Maximum pressure is not always better — excessive pressure can etch stucco, drive water behind siding, or damage wood. The method is matched to the surface, not the other way around.

Stucco & masonry: cleaning removes chalking and contamination, then the surface is dried and evaluated for cracks and existing coating condition before repainting.

Siding: a surface-appropriate washing approach removes dirt and mildew without driving water behind the siding or damaging the material.

Wood: cleaning avoids unnecessary damage and the wood is allowed adequate drying before staining or coating so the finish can absorb.

Concrete: cleaning may be one preparation step, but floor coatings often require grinding or other mechanical profiling to create the surface profile a resinous system needs. Cleaning alone is usually not enough for an epoxy or polyaspartic floor.
