Graffiti Damage

Every year, building operators and security officers spend valuable time and resources planning and implementing dedicated measures to prevent structural graffiti damage. Despite a renewed focus on preventative strategies, reports of graffiti damage in the U.S. have steadily increased. Remarkably, ongoing damage has resulted in an estimated $12 billion on the removal and cleaning of graffiti annually.

This perception – whether accurate or inaccurate – can ultimately deter potential customers from visiting a business, leading to less foot traffic and revenue loss.Vandalism and graffiti can be very upsetting.
