Graffiti sends the wrong message about your property. Whether it's spray paint on a brick wall, marker tags on a sign, or paint on your building's facade, the longer it stays, the more it invites additional vandalism. I'm Mike Inman with Inman ProWash, and I provide fast-response graffiti removal in Lexington for commercial and residential properties. When you call, I prioritize getting it handled quickly — usually within 24 to 48 hours.
Graffiti removal isn't a one-method job. Different surfaces and different types of paint or ink require different approaches. I use a combination of specialized graffiti removal chemicals, hot water pressure washing, and surface-appropriate techniques to remove spray paint, permanent markers, shoe polish, stickers, wheat paste, and other tagging materials. The goal is always complete removal without damaging the underlying surface — whether that's bare brick, painted block, concrete, metal, stone, stucco, or wood.
Here's how it works: I assess the surface type and the graffiti material, select the right chemical and removal method, apply the remover, allow it to dwell, and then clean it off with the appropriate pressure and temperature. Some surfaces require multiple applications. For painted walls, I match the paint color and touch up after removal so you can't tell anything was ever there. I also offer anti-graffiti coatings that create a sacrificial barrier — if your property gets tagged again, the next removal is faster, easier, and less expensive.
Graffiti removal in Lexington typically costs $150 to $500, depending on the surface area, material, surface type, and difficulty of removal. Small tags on smooth surfaces are on the lower end. Large murals on porous brick are more involved. I provide a quote after seeing the graffiti in person or via photos you send me.
Fast removal matters. Studies show that removing graffiti within 24 to 48 hours dramatically reduces the chance of repeat tagging. It tells vandals your property is monitored and maintained. I carry $2 million in insurance, an A+ BBB rating, and 226 five-star Google reviews. I've been in this business since 2009, and I've dealt with every type of graffiti and surface you can imagine.
Common Questions About Graffiti Removal
Can you remove graffiti without damaging the brick or paint underneath? In most cases, yes. I use surface-specific chemicals and techniques designed to dissolve the graffiti without harming the substrate. Porous surfaces like bare brick are more challenging, but I have specialized products for exactly that situation.
What is an anti-graffiti coating? It's a clear protective coating applied to your surface after graffiti removal. It acts as a sacrificial layer — if the surface gets tagged again, the graffiti comes off the coating easily without chemicals or aggressive cleaning. It's a smart investment for properties in high-traffic or repeat-vandalism areas.
How quickly can you respond? I prioritize graffiti removal calls because fast response prevents repeat tagging. In most cases, I can be on-site within 24 to 48 hours of your call. For commercial clients on maintenance contracts, response is even faster.
Do you work with insurance companies on graffiti claims? Yes. If your property insurance covers vandalism, I can provide detailed documentation including photos, itemized invoices, and written descriptions of the work performed to support your claim.
