Graffiti Removal
What It Is
Graffiti is a signal — to tenants, to customers, to other taggers. Visible vandalism tells anyone watching that the property isn’t being attended to. Within 48 hours of the first tag, the same surface usually attracts more.
Summit responds with expedited mobilization and surface-matched removal methods. We don’t chase graffiti with one-size-fits-all chemicals — we match the approach to the surface to avoid damage, and we document every removal for police reports and insurance claims.
Removal Approaches
Surface-Matched Removal
The right method depends on what was tagged, what it was tagged with, and how porous the surface is.
POROUS SURFACES
Chemical Treatment
Concrete, brick, stucco, and unsealed stone require chemical removers that lift paint without etching the substrate. We match the chemical to the surface and the paint type.
-
Brick, concrete, stucco, and natural stone
-
Marker, spray paint, and ink removal
-
Surface-safe chemicals — no etching
-
Multiple-application protocol when needed
NON-POROUS & PAINTED
Pressure Wash & Color Match
Painted surfaces, glass, and sealed metal often respond best to pressure-wash treatment, with paint touch-up when the underlying surface is too damaged for chemical-only removal.
-
Pressure-wash for painted and sealed surfaces
-
Color-matched paint for permanent fixes
-
Glass and metal surface protection
-
Repaint blending into existing finish
