Graffiti Removal

What is the impact of graffiti on your building?

Graffiti can have a variety of harmful effects on your building. It can cause visitors and tenants to

  1. Feel unsafe

  2. Believe that you have no pride of ownership in your property, and

  3. Reason that it is okay to disrespect your property themselves. As a result, failure to remove graffiti on your property can have a dramatic impact on your building’s value.

Environmental Impact

Gale Force offers eco-friendly, LEED compliant graffiti removal services.

  • When chemically removing graffiti, we offer bio-degradable solvents.

  • When painting over graffiti marks, we can also use low VOC “green” graffiti remover.

Similarly, failure to remove graffiti properly can also decrease your building’s value. If advanced cleaning and painting methods are not used, surfaces can look just as bad, if not worse, after removal attempts.

We remove graffiti damage and match our over-painting to meet your existing exterior.

What methods can Gale Force use to remove graffiti?

Prior to performing graffiti removal, it is important to identify the type of surface that the graffiti is on and the substance to be removed. Once these factors are known, we can select from the follow methods of removal.

Chemical Treatment: Involves the use of a solvent to dissolve the graffiti or other foreign substance. If this method is selected, we begin with a solvent that will have a limited possibility of damaging the building’s surface.

Paint: Involves covering graffiti to match the color of the building. Where this is possible, it can be the safest and least expensive method of removal.

Pressure Washing: Involves using pressurized water, sometimes heated, and sometimes in conjunction with a solvent to remove graffiti from unpainted surfaces.

Sandblasting: Involves spaying different grades of silica sand through a nozzle, sometimes in combination with water to remove foreign substances that cannot be removed with pressure washing or chemical treatments.
