Professional Graffiti Removal That Protects Your Baltimore Property
From the historic brick storefronts of Fells Point and Federal Hill to the warehouse corridors of Station North and Pigtown, spray paint on a commercial building sends one message to every customer who walks by: nobody is paying attention. The longer a tag sits, the deeper it bonds into the surface, and the more likely a second one appears beside it.
At Baltimore Pressure Washers, we provide fast, professional graffiti removal for commercial properties across the Baltimore metro area. Our specialty masonry chemistry, including hydrofluoric acid and phosphoric acid restoration cleaners, is matched to each specific surface. With aerial lift access up to eight stories, flexible same-day scheduling, and close to 30 years of pressure washing experience, we handle spray paint and marker on brick, concrete, metal, and vinyl without damaging the substrate beneath.

From First Call to Final Walkthrough,
Our Graffiti Removal Process
1
On-Site Assessment and Written Estimate
We prefer an in-person site visit for first-time graffiti clients. During the walkthrough, we identify the substrate, measure tagged coverage, estimate paint age, confirm access needs, and check for nearby protected murals. You receive a detailed written estimate covering scope, chemical approach, access equipment, scheduling, and any ghost image expectations for aged tags on porous brick.
2
Scheduling and Arrival
We work around your building’s operation and can respond as quickly as the same day or next day for urgent situations. On the day of service, you receive an automated reminder and a text with our specific arrival time.
3
Surface Preparation and Documentation
Before any chemistry goes on the wall, we set up aerial equipment if needed, position a crew member for pedestrian management, and pre-wet all adjacent landscaping and surfaces. CompanyCam before photos document the full scope from multiple angles.
4
Chemical Application and Controlled Dwell
We apply the selected graffiti remover to the tagged area using a brush, roller, or our low-pressure soft wash system. The product needs time to break the bond between paint and substrate, so we observe a controlled dwell period before mechanical removal.
5
Pressure Washing and Paint Removal
Using 4 to 8 GPM targeted wand work, we remove the loosened paint. Pressure is calibrated to the substrate: lower on brick mortar joints and vinyl, higher on dense concrete. If residual staining remains, we apply our restoration cleaner for deep pigment penetration before a final rinse.
6
Walkthrough, Photos, and Sign-Off
CompanyCam after photos match the before images and serve as your proof of compliance with Baltimore City’s graffiti ordinance. Once you confirm the results, we finalize the paperwork.
What Affects the Cost of Graffiti Removal
Every project is different, and your estimate is based on what we find during the on-site assessment. The main factors that drive pricing include:
Every estimate is customized to your property, surface type, and scope of work.
Your Property, Our Guarantee
Every job comes with a full walkthrough before billing. If there is an issue, we discuss it on site and resolve it before any paperwork is generated. We are fully licensed and insured, meeting certificate of insurance requirements for commercial property management contracts.
On highly porous surfaces where paint has been in place for months, a faint ghost image (a slight discoloration in the pore structure) may remain after the paint itself is fully removed. This is a physical reality of deep pigment penetration into aged brick, and we address it in the estimate for older tags so you know what to expect before work begins. Fresh graffiti removed quickly almost never produces ghost images, which is one more reason to call the moment you spot a tag.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you remove all types of spray paint from brick?
In most cases, yes. Our restoration chemistry addresses the full range of spray paint types on masonry. Old tags on very porous historic brick may leave a faint ghost image, which we address in your estimate so expectations are clear before we start.
How fast can you respond after we find graffiti?
We offer same-day or next-day response for commercial clients, including early morning and weekend availability. For standing rapid-response accounts, the response window is agreed at contract signing. Call (443) 531-6660 as soon as you spot it.
Will the removal process damage our building?
We select the right chemistry for each surface type and adjust pressure to protect the substrate. Gentler formulations with extended dwell are used on historic brick rather than aggressive pressure that could damage mortar joints. Across close to 30 years of specialty surface work, our damage record is clean.
Can graffiti come off painted surfaces without repainting?
Sometimes. If the graffiti paint and the existing surface coating are different types, removal is often possible without lifting the underlying finish. If they share the same chemistry, the substrate coating may come up with the tag. We assess this during the site visit and include it in the estimate.
We have a mural on our building. How do you handle that?
We confirm with the property owner before beginning any work that the targeted surface is not a legally commissioned artwork. Baltimore has an active mural program through the Baltimore Office of Promotion and The Arts. We document everything before we touch the surface, and we ask that you verify the artwork in question is graffiti and not a protected piece.
What stops vandals from tagging the same wall again?
Fast, consistent removal is the most effective deterrent. Walls cleaned within 24 to 48 hours experience significantly lower recurrence rates. Anti-graffiti coatings applied after removal can also make future cleanup faster and cheaper, reducing the cost of each response cycle over time.
Do you provide documentation for city code compliance?
Yes. Every job includes CompanyCam before-and-after photos that serve as your proof of removal for Baltimore City Code Section 10-15 enforcement. Photos are accessible through your customer portal.
Do you offer a rapid-response program for property managers?
We do. For property management companies, BIDs, and commercial portfolio managers, we offer standing arrangements for rapid graffiti removal across multiple properties with relationship-based pricing. This works well for managers overseeing apartment complexes and HOA communities where graffiti incidents are unpredictable but response time matters.
