Graffiti can be a major eyesore on your property. Not only does it diminish the value and perceived safety of your establishment, lack of removal also encourages repeat tagging. Therefore, finding the right graffiti removal service is essential. But, how do you choose the right company? Here’s a guide to help you make an informed decision.
Experience and Expertise
When it comes to graffiti removal, a proven track record matters. You want to select a company that can showcase their previous jobs and give you confidence in their service.
As an experienced company that has been operating since 2012, Guardian Graffiti Removal is familiar with different types of graffiti applications (from spray paint to permanent markers and everything in between), and can confidently recommend the best course best techniques for removing each type while leaving the underlying surface intact.
Confidence is key, but honesty is better. Having removed graffiti from endless surfaces in a wide range of weather conditions, I know that no two jobs are alike, and there are unique challenges with each. If there are barriers for removal, I’ll give you that information upfront so that you can make the most informed decision for your business.
Throughout my tenure in business, there have only been a handful of jobs that have not come out the way that I had intended and that is something I take a lot of pride in.
Use of Safe and Effective Products
Not all graffiti removal products are created equal. Some can be harsh and potentially damaging to the surfaces they’re applied to. When choosing a graffiti removal service, it is important to inquire about the products they use, their removal method and any other potential barriers that may prevent removal.
My products of choice are professional grade, biodegradable, non-toxic and don’t have harsh or unpleasant smells. I’ve used the same supplier for the entirety of my time in business and am confident in their capabilities and quality. The results speak for themselves.
Furthermore, I do not use sand blasting or any other abrasive method that could be potentially damaging and leave behind permanent etching on the surface that I’m removing from.
Prompt Response Time
Graffiti should be removed as quickly as possible to prevent further defacement and to restore the appearance of your property. Promptly addressing the removal of graffiti from your property as soon as possible also aids in the success of its removal.
A professional graffiti removal service should offer prompt response times and be available to address your needs within a reasonable timeframe. Some companies offer emergency services, which can be particularly valuable for the removal of vandalism that is hateful or racist.
When researching potential companies, inquire about their typical response time and whether they offer emergency or after-hours services.
Customized Services
Look for a company that offers customized solutions based on the specific needs of your property. Whether you need one-time graffiti removal or regular maintenance services, the company should be able to tailor their offerings to suit your requirements.
Ask the company if they can assess your property and provide a tailored solution that addresses your specific concerns.

References & Case Studies
When hiring anyone to service your business, confidence in their abilities are key. A reputable company should be able to provide you with references of businesses that they have performed previous removals for.
Providing before and after images of previous jobs should also be readily available on their website as well as social media accounts.
Liability Insurance
Ensure that the graffiti removal service you choose is insured. Liability insurance not only protects you from potential liability in case of accidents or damage during the removal process but also indicates that the company operates with a level of professionalism.
If needed or desired, request proof of insurance and verify that their coverage is adequate for the scope of work they will be performing on your property.
Cost & Value
While cost is an important consideration, the cheapest option may not always provide the best results. You could end up paying more in the long run if the work isn’t done correctly, and even more so if there is damage that occurs during the removal process by the service provider.
Obtain quotes from several companies and compare their services, experience, and reputation. Consider the value you’re getting for your money rather than just the price. A slightly higher cost may be worth it if it means better quality service and peace of mind.
In Conclusion
Choosing the right graffiti removal service is crucial for maintaining your property and influencing the perception of your business. By considering factors such as experience, product safety, response time, reputation, and cost, you can make an informed decision that ensures your property is in good hands.
Research and compare your options, and you’ll find a service that meets your needs and gives you peace of mind. If you’re in need of professional, reliable graffiti removal services, don’t hesitate to reach out to me. I’m here to help you keep your property looking its best.
