Power Washing in Ottawa & Gatineau
Surface cleaning that strips dirt, mildew, and chalking so the next coat actually bonds and lasts.
Power washing is both a finishing service and a prep step. Stripping dirt, mildew, and chalking off a surface is what lets the next coat actually bond, and it instantly cleans up decks, siding, driveways, and walkways. We use the right pressure for each surface so we clean without causing damage.

- Correct pressure for each surface to avoid damage
- A clean surface that helps paint and stain last
After an Ottawa winter
Ottawa winters leave siding, decks, and driveways coated in grime, salt, and mildew by the time the snow clears. A wash in spring resets those surfaces, and when a repaint or restain is coming it is the first real step of the job. We often pair power washing with the start of exterior work once the freeze has passed.

Power Washing: common questions
For most exterior repaints, yes. A clean surface is what lets the new coat bond, and skipping this step is one of the most common reasons an exterior finish fails early. Washing first is cheap insurance against paying for a coat that will not stick.
It can, in the wrong hands, which is why pressure and technique matter. Too much pressure gouges wood and forces water behind siding. We match the pressure and method to each surface so it comes clean without being damaged.
Once the hard freeze has passed, roughly spring through early fall, so surfaces can dry and any following paint or stain can cure. If you are planning exterior painting, we usually schedule the wash as the opening step of that project.
