Sandblasting is not approved for Hamilton's heritage zones (James Street North) — best reserved for industrial concrete, structural steel, and multi-layer overpainting where pressure washing fails. Our crews use softer media (walnut shell, baking soda) for visible architectural surfaces in Hamilton to avoid permanent texture loss, and capture all spent media on tarped containment.

Under the Hamilton Property Standards By-law 10-221, property owners must remove graffiti within 10 days of notification. Our hourly rate in Hamilton ranges from $38–$72.

Heritage zones including James Street North require specialized methods — only pH-neutral chemical removal or laser ablation are approved for protected surfaces.
