Our Commercial Paint Preparation Process

At J&J Power Washing, we don’t just “rinse and go.” We thoroughly prepare your building’s exterior to ensure paint adheres perfectly and looks flawless.
Step 1 – Detailed Surface Cleaning

We use advance washing or pressure washing (based on surface type) to remove dirt, chalk, mold, mildew, loose paint, and pollutants.

Step 2 – Mildew and Algae Treatment

We apply specialized cleaners that neutralize mildew and organic growth to prevent stains from bleeding through fresh paint.

Step 3 – Surface Inspection

We identify and report areas needing repair, sanding, or additional treatment prior to painting.

Step 4 – Final Rinse and Dry Time

We ensure the surface is thoroughly rinsed and dried, leaving it perfectly primed for painting crews.
