How to paint a house (the prep process). Pressure Washing Tips.
What happens here
The first step in preparing the home for painting is to power wash the entire exterior. This process aims to remove loose dirt, dust, spiderwebs, and any insect nests (like hornets nests). The power washing can also help with the initial stripping of loose paint. The video demonstrates using a pressure washer with different tips: a red straight one for high areas and a yellow tip for lower areas. After power washing, the house is left to dry for a day before proceeding with further prep work.
Goal: Clean the house exterior and remove loose debris and some old paint.
