Looking for graffiti removal for stucco in Blackhawk, SD? We look at the surface first, choose the right method and pressure for it, and give you a price before any work starts. On stucco, the method we use is soft wash.
The right method for the job
Cleaning solution: A diluted house-wash solution with surfactant, given time to dwell, then a gentle rinse.
Cleaning stucco safely
Traditional stucco is porous and holds moisture, which is why it streaks green and black in humid and shaded spots. Hairline cracks are common, and high pressure can force water into them or break off the finish coat.
Avoid: High pressure, which can etch the texture, blow out patches and push water behind the wall.
How often: Every 1-2 years.
