Speed is the product
Fast removal discourages repeat tagging. Offer response times in your contracts.
Method by surface
Brick, painted walls, metal and glass each need a different approach. Test a small area first.
Paint-over vs removal
Sometimes matching paint is better than chemicals. Keep color records for each client.
Protective coatings
Anti-graffiti coatings make future removal easier. They are a valuable add-on.
City programs
Some cities contract graffiti abatement. Check bid opportunities.
Recurring contracts
Monthly agreements with response times give predictable income.
Photos and reports
Before-and-after photos with dates help managers report to owners.
A message that books
"Hi Jessica, we remove graffiti within 48 hours and send before-and-after photos. Want a monthly response plan for your shopping center?"
Common mistakes
Damaging surfaces with harsh chemicals, leaving ghosting and slow response.
Know your numbers
Track response time and repeat incidents per property. Those numbers sell the contract renewal.
How to get started
Drive through commercial areas and note properties with recent graffiti. Contact the property manager with a photo and a price for fast removal. One quick, clean job often turns into a monthly agreement for the whole portfolio.
