Why Burnsville Homeowners Choose Pettis Painting for Power Washing

Most homeowners don’t realize the damage that salt, mildew, and UV exposure do to their exterior surfaces over time. Left untreated, these contaminants accelerate wear on concrete, wood, and siding, leading to cracking, discoloration, and premature deterioration. Pettis Painting’s power washing team uses commercial-grade equipment with adjustable PSI to safely clean every surface type. We know that a vinyl-sided home needs a different pressure setting than a concrete driveway or a cedar deck. We adjust our technique and detergent for each material, removing buildup without causing damage.For Burnsville homeowners, power washing is especially important in spring after months of road salt, sand, and freeze-thaw cycling have taken their toll. It’s also the critical first step before any exterior painting or deck staining project, paint won’t adhere properly to a dirty surface.

CLEAN SURFACES. PROTECTED PROPERTY. READY FOR WHAT’S NEXT.

Power washing is one of the fastest ways to improve your property’s appearance, and one of the most overlooked maintenance steps Burnsville homeowners skip. Years of dirt, mildew, salt residue, and organic growth don’t just look bad. They break down concrete, discolor siding, and create slippery surfaces on decks and walkways.Pettis Painting treats power washing as a craft, not just a hose-down. We match the right equipment, pressure, and technique to every surface, so your property gets clean without getting damaged. And for homeowners planning an exterior paint or stain project, a proper power wash is the non-negotiable first step to a finish that lasts.

How to Prepare for Your Power Washing Project

To ensure a smooth and efficient power washing process, please follow the guidelines below

 

Clear the Work Area:

Move outdoor furniture, planters, décor, toys, and any loose items at least 10 feet away from the surfaces being washed. This applies to driveways, patios, walkways, and siding areas.

Deck & Patio Items:

Remove all items from decks and patios, including grills, chairs, tables, rugs, and planters. For grills, roll them into the garage or place cardboard inside a patio door and set the grill on top during the wash.

Close Windows & Doors:

Ensure all windows and doors near the wash area are fully closed to prevent water intrusion. This is especially important for siding and upper-story work.

Protect Plants & Landscaping:

Move small plants away from the work area. Larger plants and flower beds near the foundation will be rinsed after the wash to dilute any cleaning solution.

Vehicle Parking:

If we’re washing your driveway, front walkway, or front-facing siding, park vehicles in the garage, on the street, or at the end of the driveway.

Exterior Electrical & Lighting:

Point out any outdoor outlets, light fixtures, or electrical panels near the wash area so we can protect them from direct spray.

Pet Safety:

Keep pets inside or away from the work area during the power washing process. Equipment is loud and the spray can be startling.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How much does power washing cost in Burnsville, MN?

Power washing costs depend on the surfaces being cleaned and the total area. A driveway wash typically runs $150–$350, a deck wash $150–$300, and a full house wash $300–$600+. Pettis Painting provides free on-site estimates with clear pricing, no hidden fees.

What surfaces can you power wash?

We power wash concrete driveways, sidewalks, and patios; wood, composite, and vinyl decks; vinyl, wood, fiber cement, brick, and stucco siding; fences; retaining walls; garage floors; and other exterior surfaces. We adjust pressure and technique for each material.

Is power washing safe for all types of siding?

Yes, when done correctly. Different materials require different pressure settings. Vinyl siding handles higher PSI, while wood and stucco need softer pressure or soft washing. Our crew assesses every surface before starting and adjusts accordingly to prevent damage.

When is the best time of year for power washing in Minnesota?

Spring is the most popular time, it clears away winter salt, sand, and grime buildup. Power washing is also common in late summer and early fall as part of pre-painting or pre-staining prep. We typically operate from April through October when temperatures are above freezing.

How long does a power washing project take?

Most residential power washing jobs are completed in 2–4 hours. A full house wash may take half a day. Driveway-only or deck-only jobs are usually done in 1–2 hours. We’ll give you a time estimate during your free on-site quote.

Do I need to power wash before painting my house?

Yes, power washing is an essential first step before any exterior painting project. Paint won’t adhere properly to surfaces covered in dirt, mildew, chalking, or oxidation. Pettis Painting includes power washing as part of our exterior painting prep, but we also offer it as a standalone service.

Can power washing remove mold and mildew?

Absolutely. Mold and mildew are common on north-facing siding, shaded decks, and areas near landscaping in Burnsville. We use surface-appropriate detergents combined with the right pressure setting to remove mold and mildew without damaging the underlying material.

What’s the difference between power washing and soft washing?

Power washing uses high-pressure water to blast away dirt and buildup. Soft washing uses lower pressure combined with cleaning solutions, it’s better for delicate surfaces like wood siding, stucco, and older materials. Our crew uses whichever method is safest and most effective for each surface.

Will power washing damage my landscaping?

We take precautions to protect your landscaping, including pre-wetting plants and rinsing them after the wash to dilute any cleaning solution. For delicate plantings close to the work area, we recommend relocating them before the project.

Do you offer power washing as a standalone service?

Yes. While many of our Burnsville clients book power washing as part of a larger painting or staining project, we offer it as a standalone service too. It’s a great way to maintain your home’s curb appeal between painting cycles.
