Older Paint, Lower Pressure
Under the EPA's Renovation, Repair and Painting rule, work that disturbs painted surfaces on homes built before 1978 has to follow lead-safe practices. On exteriors, that means containment extending at least 10 feet out and collecting wastewater rather than letting it run.
Most house washing doesn't remove paint, and soft washing keeps pressure low on purpose. If paint is already peeling, say so up front. Stripping paint for repainting is painters' work, not a wash job.
