Do I need a professional to handle graffiti or vandalism?

In some cases, you may be able to handle graffiti or vandalism. However, you should contact a professional if you:

  • Are working on a historic or valuable structure
  • Are working on an unstable wall or structure
  • Aren’t sure what type of solvent will remove paint
  • Don’t know how to safely handle the solvents
  • Don’t know the rules for disposing of used solvents and soaked rags
  • Can’t get to cleanup and repairs immediately

When you’re working with a historic, valuable, or unstable structure, it’s best to trust the graffiti removal and any repairs to a professional. It’s just best to protect your property and yourself.

Solvents used to clean graffiti can be damaging and dangerous. If you aren’t sure what type to use, don’t know how or have the equipment to handle them safely, and aren’t sure how to dispose of the used solvent, you should trust a professional.

It’s especially important to respond to graffiti quickly. Taggers want exposure with their graffiti, and if it gets removed rapidly, they get less of what they want, making them less inclined to return.
