Is it urgent?

This week

Commercially urgent more often than technically urgent. A tagged frontage affects footfall from the morning it appears.

One thing overrides everything on this page: do not pressure-wash graffiti off masonry. On brick, stone, stucco and render it drives the pigment into the surface and etches the face, and what was a removable mark becomes a permanent shadow that can only be covered.

Signs to look for

  • Tagging on a shopfront, shutter or signage
  • A commercial building hit repeatedly
  • A managing agent needing recurring removal documented
  • Damage that has to be gone before opening
  • A frontage where previous cleaning left a visible shadow

How the work is done

  1. Identify every substrate on the frontage before quoting, because they differ within meters
  2. Schedule before trading where the unit cannot close
  3. Document each visit for the landlord, agent or insurer
  4. Propose a coating or a program where the site is hit repeatedly

In California specifically

California's Mediterranean on the coast, hot and dry inland climate and its housing stock — stucco ranch and bungalow, tile or composition roofs, slab in the south and raised crawlspace through the Bay Area and the north — decide what is worth doing first. California is also the one state where duct leakage is routinely tested: Title 24 requires a HERS-verified duct test on most furnace or air-conditioner changeouts, so a duct problem here often surfaces as a failed test rather than as a complaint.

Before the technician arrives

Four things worth doing — and the first one is usually the thing people get wrong.

  1. Establish who is responsible — landlord, tenant or managing agent. It decides who signs and who pays.
  2. Say what the deadline is. Most of this can be done before opening if it is known in advance.
  3. Check whether there is a maintenance agreement in place. Recurring sites are usually cheaper on a program than per visit.
  4. Note the surface mix. A frontage is often four materials in three meters and each needs a different method.

How it works

Three steps, and you decide at the end of them.

  1. 1

    You call and describe the problem

    Tell us what you have noticed and where — the room, the smell, the noise, how long it has been going on. Give us your ZIP code and we will match you to a licensed company covering your area. There is no form to fill in.

  2. 2

    A local company takes it from there

    They discuss the problem with you directly, arrange a time to inspect, and agree the work and the price with you before anything starts. That conversation is between you and them.

  3. 3

    You decide whether to go ahead

    You are under no obligation. If the quote or the approach is not what you wanted, you are free to say no and call someone else.

What does Commercial Graffiti Removal cost?
