Stop Graffiti With Protective Coatings!

Stop Graffiti With Protective Coatings!

Graffiti can be illegal “tagging” that gets the artist recognition, intricate commissioned murals, or gang symbols. Regardless of the type, if it is on your building or other structure without permission, it is vandalism. Graffiti can detract from your business’ professional appearance and property value. Getting rid of graffiti early is key to stopping more from happening, and anti-graffiti coatings are the best way to eliminate a graffiti problem.

Initial Preparation
If graffiti is showing up on your commercial or industrial structure, preparation is key to proper removal. When it is on painted surfaces, light surface preparation and new topcoat painting jobs are often satisfactory for a start. When graffiti is on surfaces like exposed brick or concrete, your painting contractor may need to use more extensive surface preparation such as sandblasting to completely remove it before applying anti-graffiti coatings.

Anti-Graffiti Coating Application
Once the graffiti is removed, the wall might be seen as an inviting blank canvas unless you apply anti-graffiti coatings. These are clear coatings that put an invisible defense by sealing the substrate against spray paint soaking in, and they allow for quick and easy washing off of future graffiti.
They come in two main types: sacrificial and permanent.

Sacrificial coatings are typically wax-based. If graffiti is painted on a wall protected with a sacrificial anti-graffiti coating, the coating can be quickly pressure-washed off, taking the graffiti with it. A new coating can then be applied.

Permanent or non-sacrificial coatings protect the substrate from spray paint with a film of tough polyurethane or another base. When graffiti is painted over this it can be removed with solvents that leave the anti-graffiti coating intact.

Anti-graffiti painting services are effective for nearly any surface, including brick, concrete, wood, metal, various paint finishes, etc. If you are interested in protecting your facility from graffiti or in dealing with an existing graffiti problem, give us a call!

We chose Brooks Painting based on their excellent reputation. It was an excellent choice! We had them do a complete exterior and almost complete interior painting of our two story house. They were done separately, while we were out of town. We are very pleased with the quality of the work. They even fixed up a few mistakes made by a crew that painted a portion of our interior ceilings a month prior (removal of asbestos popcorn ceiling), at no extra charge. Cleanup was great, also. They repaired some dry rot that was uncovered (extra charge, but worth it), and they even moved furniture back into place as well as put back the curtain rods that I had taken down, which wasn't expected. I highly recommend them, and will use them again for any future paint jobs.

I wanted to have my kitchen cabinets painted but knew that that was a job that required skill and expertise. I called Brooks Painting and the experience from start to finish was perfect! Everyone I dealt with was personable and good at their jobs. They spent time answering questions, explaining the exact process, and did the work precisely as promised. They even did a few other small jobs (repairing and painting 2 water damaged ceilings) to perfection. And everything was neat and clean when they left! And the cabinets – better than I could have hoped for. Esteban is a master craftsman who was meticulous in every aspect of his work. The finish is smooth as glass with no imperfections. I couldn’t be happier!

Mark and the team from Brook’s Painting are exceptional at their jobs. We recently renovated a 5000sqft home and they did all the painting. Their attention to detail and investment in our project is so appreciated, and we knew we were in good hands with them. The value they add by identifying issues, making suggestions and going the extra mile to deliver quality work and make sure we are happy with our home is such a breath of fresh air. I would hire this team and company for any future work in a heartbeat and can’t say enough how amazing they are!

Brooks Panting Inc. just finished painting the exterior of our house. The crew did a terrific job. The house is a mid century modern with redwood paneling and an unusual amount of trim work. The Brooks crew was efficient, the quality of the painting was exceptional and the work was completed on time! Because of the age of the house several panels needed to be replaced. Brooks had the expertise to closely match the new paneling with the old paneling. I would not hesitate to recommend this company. They are professionals!

Brooks Painting has be in business a long time in our area. As a native resident we have seen and heard of their professional & quality painting. In looking for bids on painting our house Brooks was referred numerous times. When Jeremy came out to meet us we were sold on using their services and looked no further. Every aspect of this company was very upfront, professional and made us feel safe, valued and comfortable hiring them. The office staff kept good communication with us. The color matching was perfect. The crew showed up on time, were respectful and did a great job from prep to the final end of the project. The warranty offered was a plus and the liability coverage gave us peace of mind also. The price was well worth all that was included in the project so we had little to do but move our stuff away from the house. Thank you Brooks painting, crew and staff for making our home new again :)

It was fun working with Chris and his crew. I’ve never had a contracted job go so smoothly from start to finish. The office was responsive to my needs, Corey was patient and helpful while I made color choices, and Chris made sure I was happy with the crew’s work every step of the way. Gabriel does amazing work as well. Very much a perfectionist like Chris. I don’t have a bad thing to say. The job is absolutely stunning and I’ve had so many neighbors tell me it’s beautiful. I’m happy to put one of your signs in my front yard if you’d like so people know as they drive by who did the work. Thank you Brooks Painting. I will be recommending you to anybody who asks.

Brooks Painting painted our home in Sacramento in March of 2022. Tim did a great job power washing our home. Corey, Flint, and Kristen were very helpful in the bid and. planning. process. The painting crew was excellent. Arrived on time each day and the project was finished in 5 days as promised. All worked very hard.

Hiring Brooks Painting was an easy and professional process the whole way through, from the estimate to the completion of having my very high walls edged, where I was unable to reach them. Crew Leader Eric was prompt and super capable, which was a relief since he had to maneuver and climb a very tall ladder. He was also in the process of teaching a newer painter and I admired his positive and encouraging manner. In addition, he was willing to respond to my requests with ease. No regrets here! The edging looks amazing and only took 4 hours to complete.
