Expert Power Washing Services - Restore Your Property's Original Beauty

The cost of power washing varies depending on factors such as the size of your home, the surfaces being cleaned, and the level of buildup present. A single-story home with vinyl siding may be relatively quick and affordable to wash, while larger multi-story homes, decks, and driveways may require more time and equipment. Stains from mold, algae, or oil can also affect pricing if they require special cleaning solutions. At Suetam Painting & Finishes, we always start with a free, no-obligation estimate where we walk your property, discuss your goals, and provide a transparent breakdown of costs with no hidden fees. This way, you know exactly what to expect before we begin.

Most homes in Andover and the surrounding Merrimack Valley benefit from professional power washing once per year. Seasonal changes, snow, ice, pollen, and humidity cause buildup that should be removed regularly to protect your exterior materials. For high-traffic areas such as driveways or shaded decks that hold moisture, cleaning may be needed twice a year. Annual power washing not only restores curb appeal but also helps prevent long-term damage to siding, wood, and concrete.

When done incorrectly, power washing can cause serious damage—stripping paint, denting siding, or gouging wood. That’s why it’s so important to hire a professional. At Suetam Painting & Finishes, our team carefully adjusts pressure settings and cleaning solutions based on the surface we’re working on. For delicate materials like wood siding or trim, we use lower pressure and gentle detergents. For tougher surfaces like concrete or brick, we increase pressure for a deeper clean. This customized approach ensures safe, effective results without harming your home.

Yes, but only when needed and always responsibly. Some stains—like mold, algae, or oil—require cleaning solutions to fully break down. We use eco-friendly, biodegradable detergents that are safe for your family, pets, and landscaping. Combined with the right water pressure, these solutions deliver a deeper, longer-lasting clean without harsh side effects. Our goal is to give your home a healthy, refreshed appearance while also protecting the environment.

Most residential power washing projects can be completed in just one day, though the exact timeline depends on the size of your home and the number of surfaces being cleaned. A basic house wash may take only a few hours, while larger projects that include decks, fences, and driveways may require additional time. Before we begin, we provide a clear timeline so you can plan accordingly, and we stick to our schedule to minimize disruption.

Absolutely. In fact, power washing is one of the most cost-effective ways to boost curb appeal before listing your home. A clean exterior creates a strong first impression for buyers, making your property look well-maintained and move-in ready. Driveways, walkways, decks, and siding all benefit from a professional wash. Many real estate agents recommend power washing as a must-do step before putting a home on the market because the visual impact can increase both interest and perceived value.

Yes. In addition to residential services, we provide commercial power washing in Andover MA and surrounding areas. From storefronts and sidewalks to office buildings and multi-unit complexes, we help businesses maintain a professional, inviting appearance. Regular power washing also extends the life of exterior surfaces, reducing long-term maintenance costs. We schedule commercial projects with flexibility in mind, minimizing downtime for your business operations.

The terms are often used interchangeably, but there is a technical difference. Power washing typically uses heated water, which is especially effective for breaking down grease, oil, and stubborn stains. Pressure washing, on the other hand, uses unheated water under high pressure to clean dirt, mildew, and surface buildup. At Suetam Painting & Finishes, we evaluate each project and select the best method for your surfaces, ensuring you get the safest and most effective results.

Yes—and it’s a critical step for long-lasting results. Before any exterior painting project, we provide pre-paint power washing to remove dirt, loose paint, mildew, and other contaminants. This ensures the new paint adheres properly and looks flawless once applied. Skipping this step is one of the biggest reasons paint jobs fail prematurely. With our thorough prep, you can feel confident your fresh paint will not only look beautiful but also stand the test of time.
