Pressure Washing in North San Antonio

Pressure washing is one of the busiest scopes we run across the Randolph Metrocom every spring and after every hail cycle. Spring pollen, humid-summer mildew, and Cibolo Creek watershed silt coat driveways, sidewalks, and elevations through most of the year, and by late summer mildew on shaded north walls in Universal City and Converse is heavy enough that any repaint bonded on top would fail early. Crews adjust pressure and tip size to the substrate so painted brick, HardiePlank, painted wood, limestone, and concrete each get the right approach.

Older Universal City and Converse homes tend to have chalky paint and softer joints that will not tolerate maximum pressure, while newer Schertz, Cibolo, and Garden Ridge builds can take a more aggressive wash. Cedar shingle and specialty facades take a soft-wash chemical approach rather than mechanical pressure. Concrete drives, pavers, and stamped hardscape each get a different pressure and detergent approach at the estimate.

Most standalone pressure-washing requests here are pre-listing cleanups, pre-paint prep, or post-hail cleanup. When the goal is a full exterior repaint, the wash is scoped as the first day of the project so paint bonds to a clean substrate. Our writeup on long-lasting exterior paint treats pressure washing as step one for a reason.
