Should I power wash my house before painting or sand it? or sand it then power wash it.?

I definitely suggest power washing the house before you sand,,,, This actually works very well at getting the loose paint off.


Be careful not to get too close, the direct water pressure can do some damage to wood. Also let it dry real good before sanding and painting.Should I power wash my house before painting or sand it? or sand it then power wash it.?
More than likely you will be utilizing a power belt sander. If you are sanding the whole house than I would power wash after the sanding to clear the wood of all sand dust. I think you are wasting your time and water by power washing prior to sanding. Power wash at a safe distance (36'; away from wall) after sanding to prepare wall for painting. Let it dry completely before priming. Good Luck!Should I power wash my house before painting or sand it? or sand it then power wash it.?
power wash first then sand then a soft rinse will clean any remaining dust and debris.then you are ready for prime and painting
