The secret to graffiti removal is using the right method, not the most pressure. In Oregon, we match the cleaner and pressure to the surface so it comes out clean without damage.

Local graffiti removal for Oregon
In Oregon, commercial properties mostly need moss and algae removed from walkways and entrances to reduce slip hazards, plus regular building washing.
Near the coast, salt air leaves a film on siding, windows, screens and railings that dulls finishes and speeds up corrosion on metal. Regular rinsing and washing help protect them.

Graffiti Removal: frequently asked questions

Do you use high pressure for graffiti removal?
Graffiti Removal is usually done with graffiti remover and pressure wash, with the pressure adjusted for each surface. Delicate surfaces nearby, such as siding, windows and plants, are protected or cleaned with lower pressure.
Is graffiti removal safe for my plants and pets?
We pre-wet plants and lawns, keep cleaning solutions diluted to what the surface needs, and rinse landscaping again when we finish. Keep pets and children inside until surfaces are rinsed and dry.
How often should I schedule graffiti removal?
As needed; fast removal discourages repeat tagging. Shade, nearby trees, humidity and heavy traffic mean more frequent cleaning; sunny, dry spots can go longer. Our free cleaning frequency tool gives a recommendation for your climate.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn't stop most washing, but heavy rain, high wind, lightning and freezing temperatures do. If the weather isn't right, we reschedule at no charge. Our work is backed by a satisfaction guarantee.
