Graffiti Removal
If you have ever found unwanted spray paint, drawing or scratches on your building or fences you know how hard it can be to remove. Graffiti is any style of unwanted art, drawings or words but generally refers to spray paint. This type of vandalism can be tied to crime and removing it quickly can protect your building from further vandalism. Property values are also affected by graffiti. Some facilities allow graffiti art applications as artistic expressions like in Freak Alley in Boise but this is not the type of spray paint art we are talking about.
Quick Response time
Roe Paint can help with the quick removal of graffiti to help cut down on further vandalism. A facility's appearance and upkeep can be affected by graffiti. Vandalism can make a business look unsafe and make customers feel uneasy shopping or doing business at a building with tagging on the outside. Facility maintenance personnel may be responsible for the clean up but often are outside their depths with how to properly remove graffiti from a variety of materials. Some graffiti can be removed with a fresh coat of paint but it's not always that easy. If stucco, brick or other porous materials have been tagged a removal process may be necessary for complete removal. Signage and fences are also targets for graffiti. Roe Paint can help with removing graffiti from all types of material including glass, stainless steel, painted metals and more. Roe Paints graffiti removal process leaves a fresh, clean painted surface with no traces of graffiti left behind.
Removing Graffiti
When removing graffiti we don't simply get out a paint brush. The preparation process includes pressure washing, priming and painting. Depending on the material affected we may have additional steps to repair the area. Facility maintenance covers a wide variety of materials, all of which have a different graffiti removal process. The timeline for removal varies based on what material has been spray painted, some projects take just a few hours while others are longer and more in depth repairs. When Roe paint performs a graffiti removal service we leave behind no damage and no messes, just your surface returned to its original state. Many people in the facility maintenance sector don't have time to focus on issues like graffiti and having access to a graffiti abatement service is a great resource. Roe Paint is happy to discuss the cost, timeline and expectations during an onsite assessment of the damage.
Paint over
Depending on the material a paint over is an option for graffiti removal. Many painted surfaces can be repainted to mask the graffiti. When working with Roe Paint for other maintenance services we keep record of your paint colors which allows us to perform a paint over quickly and without having to match colors. Facility maintenance can require keeping a lot of plates in the air and remembering what building has what color can be challenging but Roe Paint keeps good records and can gather supplies including your paint color and complete the job quickly. Paint overs are a win-win because the wall gets a fresh coat of paint and the graffiti is covered. If your building has been vandalized on a prominent part of the facade it may be necessary to perform a paint over to keep things up and running and later remedy the graffiti properly. This method is used when the graffiti is vulgar as well.
