Graffiti Removal

Safely remove graffiti and unwanted coatings from brick, concrete, stone, and metal surfaces.

Overview

Graffiti on brick, stone, concrete, and metal can be notoriously difficult to remove without damaging the underlying surface. Dry ice blasting removes spray paint, markers, and adhesives without chemicals, pressure washing damage, or surface etching. The process preserves the original texture and appearance of masonry and architectural surfaces.

Graffiti removal from commercial buildings, heritage properties, and public infrastructure requires a method that removes paint without damaging the underlying surface. Pressure washing erodes brick and mortar. Chemical solvents leave residue and can discolor stone. Dry ice blasting removes graffiti cleanly and safely from all masonry and metal surfaces while preserving the original texture and appearance. Sub-Zero Blastworks provides fast-response graffiti removal for municipalities, property managers, businesses, and heritage property owners across Simcoe County and the Greater Toronto Area. Anti-graffiti protective coatings can be applied immediately after cleaning to simplify future removal.

Our Process

How Graffiti Removal Works

01

Surface Evaluation

We identify the type of graffiti (spray paint, marker, sticker, etc.) and the substrate (brick, stone, concrete, metal) to determine the optimal approach.

02

Test Patch

A small test area is cleaned first to confirm the graffiti is removed completely without affecting the substrate.

03

Full Removal

The entire affected area is cleaned. Dry ice blasting lifts paint and ink from the surface texture without etching or discoloring.

04

Protection

Anti-graffiti coatings can be applied immediately to the clean, dry surface to make future removal faster and easier.
