Graffiti Removal FAQs

How long does it take to remove graffiti?

Most graffiti can be removed in a few hours, but larger or more stubborn jobs may take one to three days, especially if the surface is porous or if multiple removal methods are needed. Weather, graffiti type, and surface condition all affect timing. Many professional teams offer after-hours service to reduce disruption.

Can graffiti be removed from all surfaces?
Most graffiti can be removed from surfaces like concrete, brick, glass, and metal. However, porous or soft materials like untreated wood or older stucco can be more challenging. In these cases, gentler techniques or specialty coatings may be used. For historic structures, it’s critical to use preservation-safe methods to avoid permanent damage.
Do costs differ for commercial vs. residential properties?
Yes, commercial properties may have higher costs due to larger surface areas, compliance regulations, or access limitations. Residential jobs are typically smaller and more straightforward.
What are the risks of DIY graffiti removal?
Risks include damaging the surface, using harmful chemicals incorrectly, spreading the paint further, or causing runoff violations. Improper removal can make future cleanup harder.
How effective are anti-graffiti coatings, and how long do they last?
Anti-graffiti coatings can be highly effective. Sacrificial coatings last until they’re removed with the graffiti, while permanent coatings can last several years and withstand multiple cleanings.
