No one likes to spend maintenance dollars on real estate when it should not be necessary. Vandalism maintenance can run thousands of dollars per year. Graffiti is the most frustrating form of vandalism and can permanently destroy beautiful block, masonry, stone, wood, glass, and metal. Once a property has been targeted, it is likely to be a re-occurring problem. Maintaining a nice appearance on structures is essential to attract tenants, collect the maximum rents and maintain re-sell value.
There have not been many economical options to remove graffiti. Painting corner-to-corner or end-to-end of a wall of the property is a solution for aesthetics. Unfortunately, painting turns a natural building material into one that needs continual maintenance. That can be expensive initially and in future maintenance. The natural look of the building material is ruined. Walls that back a freeway are easily accessible to taggers and see repeat damage. Covering just the graffiti area with a shade of paint similar to the existing block is often the solution utilized by most city, county and state agencies. It looks terrible and only gives the next tagger a blank canvass to perfect their technique.
