How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 45–90 minutes. Method of record: Removal of graffiti/tagging from a public-facing wall, gate or storefront via a manufacturer-appropriate solvent, paint-out or pressure-wash method

Bring

• graffiti remover/solvent OR matched paint-out paint + roller/brush
• pressure washer (masonry-safe setting) where applicable
• gloves + eye protection
• camera

Steps

1. 1. ASSESS: photograph the tagging and identify the surface material (brick, painted metal, glass, painted wood) to choose a safe removal method that won't damage the substrate.
2. 2. Confirm property-owner/manager consent for the specific wall or gate before any solvent, paint or pressure-washing touches the surface.
3. 3. Apply the matched method — masonry-safe solvent and rinse, matched paint-out roll, or low-pressure wash — per the product's instructions, working from the least aggressive method first.
4. 4. Photograph the cleaned surface from the same before vantage and note the method used for future reference on that surface.

If it does not match the plan

• No owner/manager consent obtainable -> STOP, do not treat the surface.
• Solvent or pressure-washing would damage historic masonry or a mural the community wants kept -> STOP, flag for a different approach rather than force one method.

What counts as done

• Owner/manager consent confirmed for the specific surface before work
• Removal method matched to the substrate (no damage to brick/paint/glass)
• Before/after photos from a matching vantage
• Method used logged for the surface's future maintenance record

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
