Yes, you should consider power washing your home’s exterior before painting. This method can remove dirt, grime, and loose paint in a quick, efficient way. Wait three or four days after washing to paint, as it’s best to paint on a clean, dry surface. 

Soft washing might be a better option if your home’s exterior is vinyl or stucco. Before you start, make sure you know what parts of a house you can pressure wash (and those you can’t).

You shouldn’t use a pressure washer on utility meters, generators, AC units, breaker boxes, or anything that contains electrical components. Don’t use a pressure washer on living things, either, including people, pets, and plants. Lead paint, asphalt shingles, stained wood, and painted items are also no-gos when it comes to pressure washing.

It may be necessary to power wash your house, depending on the siding material. Vinyl, composite, or metal siding can hold up to the heat and pressure of occasional power washing, but materials like brick, stucco, wood, and painted materials may get damaged from the high-pressure water. For sensitive materials, consider a soft wash instead of a pressure wash.
