About Us

FinishSafe Setups helps you choose and use pressure-washing gear the smart way—by starting with the surface you’re cleaning. Whether you’re a homeowner refreshing vinyl siding, a mobile detailer protecting clear coat, a trades pro bidding paver restorations, or a property manager balancing water and noise limits, we deliver finish-safe setup “recipes” that just work. Our guidance combines exact PSI/GPM ranges, nozzle and orifice sizing, detergents and dilution, dwell times, standoff distance, stroke technique, and safety checks.

Mission Statement Our mission is to make pressure washing faster, quieter, and safer for every surface. We test and document real-world cleaning rates, water use per job, and decibel levels so you can buy once, clean right, and protect finishes for the long run.

Our Story We built FinishSafe Setups after watching too many weekends and work orders go sideways: gouged wood, etched pavers, chalked paint, and neighbors upset about noise. Product-first advice wasn’t enough. So we flipped the process—surface first—then mapped complete setups to each material with quantified results. Today, every recommendation is anchored in standardized field tests that measure square feet cleaned per minute, gallons per job, dBA at the operator’s ear, and total cost of clean. If a setup can’t meet our finish-safety threshold and time/water targets, it doesn’t make the list.

We operate on three promises: protect the finish, respect the constraints (water, noise, budget), and save you time. That means we publish clear decision paths, bundle recommendations that ensure compatibility (machine class, tips/orifices, hose, surface cleaner, detergent), and maintenance plans to keep performance high with minimal waste.

Our Team We’re a cross-disciplinary group united by surface care, safety, and data:

• A materials and coatings specialist who defines finish-safety margins for wood, composites, masonry, paints, and automotive clear coats.
• A mobile detailer who optimizes low-GPM and quiet setups for on-the-go work and HOA constraints.
• A facilities/property manager who validates water budgeting, portability, and storage for multi-site operations.
• A test engineer who standardizes our field protocols, instrumentation, and scoring models.

Together, we translate lab-grade discipline into clear, actionable playbooks you can trust.
