BR, I ask you to reread my post. She was asking about pressure washing dirt off the soffits of her eaves. If her house is 7 years old then the soffits are vented and are going to require some time to remove that dirt. Standing on the ground and blasting your vented soffits with enough pressure to get water up to that 2-story level is stupid and lazy. It will cost her a pile of money down the road when it is discovered that the entire exterior wall of her home has rotted out or is completely infested with carpenter ants.
I have no idea what your protocols are for pressure washing prior to painting, nor did I make any assumptions about them (there are methods that are exceptable and don't cause damage below the surface). Your in the business of painting, I am in the business of repairing.
I stand by my statement. Houses are designed to shed water that is falling down, not pressurized up! You get what you pay for!
