We follow a proven, step by step process to ensure fast, safe and effective results
1) Damage Assessment
We inspect the graffiti, surface type (brick, metal, stone, concrete, glass), location, and how long it has been present to determine the most effective removal method.
3) Immediate Scheduling
Once approved, we schedule your job promptly. Most graffiti removals are scheduled early morning to minimize disruption and for safety.
2) Technique Selection and Estimate
Based on the assessment we select the best removal technique and provide an electronic estimate for review.
4) Removal and Cleanup
Graffiti is removed, surfaces rinsed and neutralized, and the area is left clean and restored.
WHY PROMPT REMOVAL MATTERS
- Graffiti becomes more difficult to remove as it sits, especially on glass, stone or porous surfaces
- Extended exposure can lead to staining or etching, increasing restoration complexity
- Visible graffiti often attracts repeat tagging and copycat vandalism – especially with acid etch
- Delayed removal can result in higher long term repair or replacement costs
- Visible graffiti can often lead visitors with and unconscious concern for safety

PROFESSIONAL GRAFFITI REMOVAL- EXPANDED
Building Surface Graffiti Removal Solutions
Most graffiti on buildings are spray paint tags but can also be ink based.
For this type of graffiti, the best removal method is to apply industry specific chemicals followed by power washing with hot water to clear the surface of graffiti. We may need to use several different treatments in order to achieve a positive result depending on the type of paint used and the surface it is on. This method is successful on brick, marble, granite, limestone and other surfaces encountered throughout the city of Philadelphia and surrounding areas.
At times, removal is not the most economical or best method to remedy a graffiti tag. An alternative option is to paint over the graffiti using a matching shade.
Philadelphia graffiti removal is usually scheduled for morning shift for various reasons including safety.
Acid Etch / Scratch Graffiti Removal -Glass Restoration
Damage on glass can not be removed. We must restore.
Acid etch graffiti and scratch graffiti has become more popular in the city of Philadelphia and mostly is targeted on commercial store front glass windows and doors.
Because the glass is damaged by acid, removal is not an option so we must restore the glass. By grinding the glass down to the deepest point of damage then polishing it back to transparency we can restore 80% of the glass panels that previously would have required replacements in just 1-2 visits, restoring integrity and functionality back to the glass.
Street Fixture Graffiti Removal Solutions – Graffiti Management
Graffiti covering street fixtures outside of your home or business can negatively impact visitors on an unconscious level.
High levels of graffiti are often associated with crime, and an unconscious concern for safety can occur. Since much of this graffiti taken individually is minor and unactionable, it tends to sit.
Our process is simple and proven. We clean off all graffiti, posters and stickers between point a and point b at an agree upon interval. When graffiti returns, so will we. As a result visible graffiti is reduced over time, street fixture appearance is improved and the pedestrian experience is greatly improved. Designed for Business Improvement Districts, Civic Associations, Developers and Municipalities.
Anti-Graffiti Coatings
We can add a sacrificial coating to your building surface to protect it from graffiti, making removal easier, less costly, and more successful.
Sacrificial coatings are designed to take the hit of graffiti so that the spray paint doesn’t bond with your building surface. As a result, less chemicals are required for removal and often hot water is all that is needed to remove graffiti moving forward.
RGR Power Washing offers sacrificial coating services to customers who have sensitive building surfaces (such as Limestone) or who are targeted often by graffiti writers. We then can remove and reapply as needed, ensuring your property always looks its best]
