Graffiti Removal in Ottawa
Sandblasting Graffiti Removal in Ottawa, Ontario — with 55 freeze-thaw cycles annually and an average winter temperature of -10.3°C, local conditions directly impact graffiti removal methods and costs.
Sandblasting is not approved for Ottawa's heritage zones (Parliament Hill) — 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 Ottawa to avoid permanent texture loss, and capture all spent media on tarped containment.
Under the Ottawa Property Standards By-law 2013-416, property owners must remove graffiti within 10 days of notification. Our hourly rate in Ottawa ranges from $42–$78.
Heritage zones including Parliament Hill require specialized methods — only pH-neutral chemical removal or laser ablation are approved for protected surfaces.

Sandblasting (also called abrasive blasting or media blasting) uses compressed air to propel fine abrasive particles — silica sand, garnet, walnut shell, glass bead, or baking soda — at high velocity against graffiti-covered surfaces. The impact physically strips paint from the substrate, making it the most powerful mechanical removal method available.
