Siding, driveways, patios, decks and paths, washed at a pressure the surface can take. Every job starts with a free written estimate at the property.
Washing · New OrleansWhat is included
At Big Easy Painters, we wash the surfaces this climate turns green: siding, driveways, patios, paths and decks. The pressure is set to the surface, because the wrong setting does damage that shows.
Wood, stucco, fibre cement and brick, each at its own pressure.
Concrete, pavers and flagstone, including the joints.
The shaded surfaces where mildew comes back first.
Washed as a job in itself, or as the first step before coating.
Paint does not bond to dirt or chalk. Washing comes first.
Rinsed and protected, so the run-off does not do the damage.
Why us
Because too much pressure drives water into wood and strips the surface of soft brick and old stucco. The setting is a decision, not a default.
Fully covered in Louisiana, on every job we take on.
Scope, preparation, product and price before we start. No verbal numbers.
Old wood and soft brick take far less than concrete.
In this climate the green comes back unless it is treated, not blasted.
Beds, planting and paths protected before the lance is turned on.
If painting follows, the wash is timed so the surface dries first.
On the job
Dirt, chalking and the green this climate puts back every year. The difference shows along the line the lance has already covered.

Questions
Whether washing can damage a surface, how long the result lasts, and when it has to happen before painting.
It can, at the wrong pressure or the wrong angle. Old wood, soft brick and aged stucco take much less than concrete, which is why the setting is chosen surface by surface.
It depends on shade, airflow and how much rain the surface takes. A shaded patio in this climate greens up again sooner than a sunny driveway.
Yes, in almost every case. Dirt, chalking and mildew stop paint bonding, which is why washing appears as a line item in our painting estimates.
Blasting alone tends to move it. Treating the surface is what deals with the growth, and the estimate says which approach yours needs.
They are covered and rinsed before we start, and rinsed again afterwards. The run-off does more damage than the spray.
Yes, at a lower pressure. If the deck is going to be coated afterwards, the wash is timed so the wood has dried out first.
Roof work is a different job with different risks, so tell us what you need at the walk-through and we will say plainly whether it is work we take on.
Yes. We walk the property, look at the actual surfaces, and put scope, preparation, product and price in writing, with no obligation to book.
