Graffiti, gum and tire-mark removal in Burnaby
City Wide handles graffiti and surface-mark removal for Burnaby commercial, industrial and strata properties. Identify the mark, the material underneath it and any coating or finish that needs to be considered.
Family-owned. Serving the Lower Mainland since 1989.
Paint, gum, tire residue and organic growth require different treatment decisions. Clear photos help distinguish removable deposits from staining or damaged finishes.
Scope and preparation
Match the treatment to the surface and mark
Send close-up and wider photos, the approximate area and how long the mark has been present if known. Include the surface material, paint or coating details and previous attempts to clean it.
A test area may be useful before treating a larger surface. Ask what result is realistic and whether finish changes or remaining staining are possible. General pressure washing and specialist mark treatment should be identified separately in the scope.
Plan the work
Include access, protection and any follow-up finish
Show adjacent doors, windows, planting, electrical equipment and pedestrian routes. Identify water access, drainage and the time when the work area can be kept clear.
If a protective coating is proposed after cleaning, ask for the product, preparation and maintenance requirements to be explained. Its limitations need to be clear. On indoor working floors, include any related floor scrubbing or finish repair in the enquiry.

Before you enquire
Questions about the service
Can removal affect the surface finish?
Some surfaces and finishes are sensitive to treatment. Describe them in advance and discuss a test area and realistic limits before the method is selected.
Can graffiti removal be combined with gum or tire marks?
List each type of deposit and its location. Different methods or preparation may be needed, even when the work is arranged together.
Should I request a protective coating as well?
Ask City Wide to discuss suitability after the surface and cleaning needs are understood. Confirm the proposed coating’s preparation, upkeep and limits.
