Graffiti Removal

Our skilled teams respond quickly and use surface-appropriate methods, including color-matched coatings, safe chemical treatments, and precision pressure washing.

Anti-Graffiti Coating Application

As the sole private contractor authorized by the City of Los Angeles to apply anti-graffiti coatings to city-sanctioned murals, Woods Maintenance takes mural protection seriously. We offer two types of coating systems:

Permanent Coating:

A high-performance sealant that protects murals for 8–12 years. Graffiti can be easily cleaned with hot water and non-abrasive methods, without harming the artwork beneath.

Sacrificial Coating:

A protective barrier that is removed (or “sacrificed”) during graffiti removal using hot water pressure washing. Once the coating and graffiti are removed, we allow the area to dry and reapply the sacrificial coating over the cleaned section.
