Sharper Impressions Painting Vows to Help Extend the Life of a Paint Job with Power Washing

Online, May 19, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Sharper Impressions Painting educates homeowners about the proper preparations necessary for the optimal exterior paint job. Power washing (also called pressure washing) is an imperative first step when preparing to paint or stain any part of a home. If a proper cleaning is not completed prior to painting, the new paint won't stick to the surface and the new paint usually will peel off in big chunks and/or small flakes.

Sharper Impressions Painting teaches that power washing cleans and prepares surfaces that will be painted by removing dirt, mold, mildew, pollutants, pollen and dust. Its also important to not that power washing also removes most chalking that may have taken place on the surface.

Decks and fences are Sharper Impressions Painting's prime candidates for power washing; and both stand to benefit from the cleaning. Power washing will wash away old stain and brighten up grey wood fibers caused by foot traffic, sun and sitting rain water.

Often, customers think their home needs a new coat of paint, when a simple power wash will give them the same desired result and add life to the current paint job. An honest and experienced painting contractor, like Sharper Impressions Painting, will inform the homeowner of this mistake instead of having them spend money on unnecessary work.
