Laser removal is the only zero-contact, zero-chemical method approved for Coquitlam's most sensitive heritage surfaces such as Maillardville.

Laser graffiti removal uses focused light energy (typically Nd:YAG lasers at 1,064 nm wavelength) to vaporize paint molecules without physically touching or chemically altering the underlying surface. The laser pulse heats the paint layer to its ablation point — the paint converts directly from solid to gas in nanoseconds, leaving the substrate completely undamaged.
