What Professional Graffiti Removal Includes
Graffiti removal is more than blasting paint with high pressure. Our trained crew identifies the surface, selects the right remover, and uses controlled pressure with the proper temperature and tips. We rinse and neutralize the area so residue does not return or bleed through. This approach restores curb appeal and helps prevent more tagging.
Why Quick Action Matters
Graffiti hardens as it cures in the sun and can seep into porous materials like brick, block, and stucco. The sooner we treat it, the cleaner the result will be, and the less time we'll spend on site. Fast removal also sends a clear message that vandalism will not stick around on your property.

Our Process for Safe, Lasting Results
Every property is different, so we tailor the method to your surface and the type of paint or marker used. Here is how a typical visit goes:
- Assessment and testing. We identify the surface and tag type. A small test spot helps us confirm the best remover and pressure setting.
- Protect and prep. We shield plants, signage, and nearby finishes. We control water flow and keep walkways safe for foot traffic.
- Apply remover. We use professional-grade detergents designed for spray paint and markers. Dwell time is closely managed.
- Low-pressure rinse or soft wash. We lift the paint with the lowest pressure needed, often with heated water for faster release.
- Repeat as needed. Stubborn shadows can be removed with a different remover or a gentle pad on masonry.
- Neutralize and final rinse. This stops chemical action and leaves the area clean and ready to dry.

Local tip: Raleigh summers are hot and sunny, which can bake spray paint into porous brick in just a few hours. Cover fresh tags with a clean tarp or cardboard to reduce sun exposure until we arrive. This small step can save time and improve the final result.

Raleigh-Specific Considerations We Keep in Mind
Our team works across Raleigh and nearby communities like North Hills, Five Points, Brier Creek, Garner, and Knightdale. Many homes feature brick and fiber cement siding, while commercial areas mix concrete, metal, and glass. Summer heat speeds curing, and spring pollen can cling to wet paint, creating a film that needs a thorough pre-rinse. In historic areas such as Oakwood, we pay extra attention to older masonry and lime-based mortars to ensure cleaning remains gentle and controlled.
We also see murals and artist walls downtown. If the tag lands on a mural you want to keep, let us know. We can carefully reduce the vandalism while protecting the art as much as possible, often with spot treatment and precise rinsing.
What to Expect After Cleaning
Freshly cleaned areas can look slightly different until they dry fully. Light shadows in porous brick often fade more in the first few days as moisture evaporates. We can discuss sealers that make future cleanings faster on high-risk spots like alley walls, dumpsters, and rear entries. A breathable masonry sealer can help resist new paint without changing the look of the surface. Ask us if your material is a good candidate.
Simple Ways to Deter New Tags
No deterrent is perfect, but a few low-cost steps help reduce the chance of repeat graffiti:
- Improve lighting near blank walls and loading areas
- Trim shrubs that create hidden corners
- Consider a neutral color that is easy to touch up if a wall is painted
- Use a sacrificial or protective coating in high-target zones
- Remove graffiti quickly so it does not attract more
