The work

House washing on the North Shore.

Water blasting uses high pressure. It suits concrete, paths and driveways. On weatherboards and plaster it can do damage, so walls usually get a soft wash.

The North Shore is the part of Auckland north of the harbour. Tell us your suburb, what the walls are made of, and one storey or two.

Questions

Good questions.

What details help with a job on the North Shore?

Tell us the job type, your suburb and a few lines about the house. Say how many rooms, what needs cleaning, and when.

Can water blasting damage my house?

It can. High pressure can strip paint and force water behind boards. Walls usually get a soft wash instead.

Should I wash the house before painting?

Yes. Paint holds only as well as the surface under it. A wash is the first step of most exterior paint jobs.
