Tackling Graffiti On Your NYC Business

Graffiti can strike any business, anytime. For New York City's business owners and property managers, it’s more than just an inconvenience. Graffiti can tarnish a brand’s image, deter customers, and diminish property value. But here’s the good news—not all hope is lost. With the right expertise, most graffiti can be removed.

At NYC Power Wash, we’ve tackled hundreds of graffiti-removal cases, and we’re breaking down the complexities so you can be confident about restoring your property’s appearance.

Understanding Graffiti Types and Challenges

Graffiti might bring to mind spray paint on the side of a building, but it comes in many forms. Different types require different strategies for proper removal without damaging the underlying surface.

Common Types of Graffiti

Here are the most common types of graffiti seen across NYC every day:

Spray Paint

Spray paint is the most recognizable form of graffiti. However, not all spray paints are the same. Acrylics, enamels, alkyds, or epoxy-based spray paints might be used, each requiring unique solvents to remove effectively.

Adhesives & Stickers

Graffiti isn’t just about paint. Stickers and adhesives like glue or tape residue can also mar surfaces. These materials leave behind unsightly marks and are surprisingly stubborn to clean.

Acid Etching

One of the most damaging forms of graffiti, acid etching involves applying acidic solutions to glass, permanently etching shapes or letters into the surface. These marks are not just visually disruptive but also costly if replacing the glass is the only option. Fortunately it is not with our acid etching removal service which can save you $$$

Why Graffiti Removal Needs Professional Care

Why should NYC business owners and property managers leave graffiti removal to professionals? Here are the top reasons why hiring our experts at NYC Power Wash makes all the difference.

Expertise with Removal Techniques

Graffiti “artists” don’t leave behind a tag explaining what type of paint or material they used. Without expertise, you risk choosing ineffective or damaging methods. NYC Power Wash uses advanced cleaning solutions tailored to every type of graffiti and surface, ensuring effective removal without leaving residue or damage.

Safety First, Environment Second

Commercial-grade detergents work wonders when used correctly, but untrained attempts may lead to exposure to toxic chemicals or eco-hazardous residues. We prioritize using eco-friendly, biodegradable solutions that protect both our clients and the environment.
