“Stephen and his crew were very easy to work with. Excellent communication.”
Kendall Craig · Google review
At least until the next day, and longer if the surface is still wet. We kill mildew with a TSP, bleach and water wash, power wash, and let the house dry as long as it needs. We never power wash and paint on the same day, because paint over damp siding doesn’t bond well.
If your plans change, tell us so we can move your start date.

“They were very patient with us during a bumpy time in life….causing one delay after another (on our end) and when we were finally able to get started, they were ready to go!”
