Pre-Paint Washing for Stucco is one of the jobs we do most often in your area. Typical jobs cost $250-$600, and you approve the price before we begin. With stucco, the right approach is soft wash.

The right method for the job

Soft washCleaning method
Soft wash only, typically under 500 PSIPressure

Cleaning solution: A diluted house-wash solution with surfactant, given time to dwell, then a gentle rinse.

Cleaning stucco safely

Traditional stucco is porous and holds moisture, which is why it streaks green and black in humid and shaded spots. Hairline cracks are common, and high pressure can force water into them or break off the finish coat.

Avoid: High pressure, which can etch the texture, blow out patches and push water behind the wall.

How often: Every 1-2 years.

Signs you need pre-paint washing for stucco

  • You're about to paint or stain the house
  • Chalky residue comes off on your hand
  • Mildew or dirt under the old paint

Why it gets dirty

  • Paint chalking as it ages
  • Mildew that will grow through new paint if not killed
  • Dirt that weakens adhesion

Easy upkeep between cleanings

  • Ask your painter what prep they need
  • Allow siding to dry for the time the paint maker recommends before painting

Why more pressure isn’t better

  • Painting over mildew, which bleeds through
  • Too much pressure that damages wood or drives water into the wall
  • Painting before the wood is dry
