Why it is urgent

Graffiti is a clock, not a cleaning job

Tags attract tags
A mark that stays up reads as a property nobody is watching. The same glass commonly gets hit again within a week, and the second one is usually bigger.

It gets harder every day
Spray paint on hot glass keeps curing. What lifts in twenty minutes in week one can take an hour a pane by week four.

Cities set deadlines
Several High Desert jurisdictions put abatement timelines on property owners. Dated before and after photos are what show you acted.

Customers read it as closed
A tagged storefront costs you walk ins from people who never come close enough to find out you are open.

The thing most people get wrong

Painted comes off. Etched does not.

This is the single biggest factor in what your job costs, and it is the question to ask anyone who quotes you.

Sitting on the glass
Spray paint, marker, shoe polish, stickers and paint pen. All of it sits on the surface and all of it comes off cleanly with the right solvent and a blade on wet glass. This is most tags and it is the straightforward job.

Cut into the glass
Acid etch cream and scribe marks from a rock or a bolt are physically below the surface. No solvent reaches them. The options are mechanical polishing, which works on shallow marks, or replacing the pane. Anyone who tells you they can scrub it out is going to bill you for an hour and hand back the same window.

We check this in the first two minutes, on site, before anything is quoted as a removal. If it turns out to be etched we tell you straight away and you get an assessment and a written finding rather than an invoice for scrubbing that was never going to work. That same honesty is how we handle adhesive and old signage.

If your property gets hit more than once we will put you on a standing watch: we come within twenty four hours of your call at a fixed rate, and most owners pair it with a recurring clean so the whole storefront stays on one schedule and one invoice.

FAQ

Graffiti removal questions

How much does graffiti removal cost?

A single tag on one pane starts at $129. A storefront with up to six affected panes starts at $289. Etched or scribed glass is a different job and starts with an $89 assessment, which we credit against the work if you go ahead. Same day emergency call out adds $75.

What is the difference between painted and etched graffiti?

Paint, marker and shoe polish sit on top of the glass and come off. Acid etching and scribe marks are cut into the glass itself and no amount of cleaning removes them. They need mechanical polishing or the pane replaced. Most of the cost difference between one job and another comes down to which of the two you have, and we tell you before we start rather than after.

How fast can you get out?

Usually same day or next day in the High Desert. Speed matters more with graffiti than with anything else we do, because a tag that sits gets photographed, shared and copied, and the same glass gets hit again within days.

Will removing it damage my window tint or film?

It can, which is why we check first. Solvent strong enough to lift spray paint will also lift film. If your glass carries privacy film or tint we work the exterior only and tell you what that means for the result, in writing, before we touch it.

Do you document the damage for insurance or the city?

Yes. We photograph the tag before removal and can issue a written condition report covering what was found, what was used and the result. Several High Desert cities have abatement timelines for property owners, and a dated report is what proves you acted.

Do you remove graffiti from surfaces other than glass?

Glass, aluminium storefront frames, signage faces and painted stucco. Raw masonry and brick are porous and usually need pressure and a masonry specific approach, so we will tell you honestly if it is outside what we do well.
