Graffiti and tire-mark removal in Vancouver
City Wide treats graffiti, tire marks, gum and related surface deposits at Vancouver properties. Show the mark and the material beneath it so a suitable treatment can be reviewed.
Family-owned. Serving the Lower Mainland since 1989.
Treatment depends on the deposit, surface and earlier coatings. The aim and any finish limitations should be discussed before work, with a test area considered where appropriate.
Scope and preparation
Consider the surface as well as the mark
Paint on masonry, rubber marks on a floor and gum on a walkway are different cleaning tasks. Provide a close photograph and a wider view, with approximate area and height. Identify the substrate and any existing coating where known.
Explain earlier cleaning or repainting and the appearance you want to restore. Ask about the proposed method, testing and the possibility of residual marking or refinishing. Broader exterior washing or floor cleaning should be identified separately.
The City of Vancouver’s graffiti guidance explains public reporting and property-owner information. City Wide’s service enquiry is for treatment at your property.
Plan the work
Protect nearby areas and manage treatment residue
Show doors, pedestrian routes, parked vehicles and landscaping around the work. Identify nearby drains and finishes that need protection. Access at height and restricted areas need review with the proposed method.
Agree the treatment boundary, any test area and arrangements for water and residue. If the surface needs repair or repainting after assessment, keep that work identifiable in the quote so the expected finish is clear.
Details for your quote
