Yes, you can use a pressure washer to help with deck paint removal. One of the benefits of pressure washing is its speed. However, a pressure washer is best used with a paint stripper. A paint stripper helps the paint lift from the wood, and then you can use the pressure washer to remove the paint effectively. To increase the longevity of the wood, you want to avoid using more than 1000 PSI on your pressure washer, as too much moisture will penetrate the wood and may cause mildew or rot.
