Pressure Washing Done the Right Charleston Way
Climate in the area causes exterior buildup fast. Humidity, shade, and coastal air all lead to mildew, staining, and surface wear. Pressure washing addresses those issues, but only when it’s done with the correct methods and pressure levels. On the other hand, improper washing can damage paint, siding, and wood.
At Wade Paint Co., we use controlled cleaning techniques based on surface type and condition. Our goal is to always remove buildup while protecting finishes, materials, and long-term durability.
What Makes Our Power Washing Different
Surface Preparation & Protection Comes First
Before any water touches your home, we evaluate the surface based on material, age, condition, and exposure. That’s why we adjust everything:
- Pressure levels
- Cleaning solutions
- Application methods
Safe Cleaning Systems & Materials
Not every surface needs high pressure, so we use a combination of:
- Soft washing for siding and painted surfaces
- Controlled pressure for concrete and hardscapes
- Surface-appropriate detergents that break down mildew and buildup without harming finishes
Charleston homes need care, not force. That’s the approach we bring to every project.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is pressure washing safe for painted surfaces?

Most homes benefit from washing every 12–18 months due to humidity and mildew growth.
Will pressure washing damage landscaping?
No. We protect plants and rinse thoroughly before and after cleaning.
