Vancouver's graffiti problem, handled block by block
Vancouver sees more tagging than any city in BC — laneways, storefront roll-shutters, dumpsters, utility poles and stucco walls get hit nightly, and the City's graffiti bylaw puts the clean-up responsibility on the property owner. That's where Graffiti Medic comes in: we remove graffiti across every Vancouver neighbourhood within our 24–48 hour response target, so you stay ahead of both the taggers and the bylaw notices.
We know the city's surfaces — heritage brick in Strathcona, painted murals off Main Street, glass storefronts on West 4th — and we match the removal method to each one, so there's methods chosen to prevent ghosting, etching and damage.
Where Vancouver gets hit — and how we handle it
- Commercial corridors — Main St, Commercial Drive, West 4th, Fraser & Victoria Drive storefronts
- Laneways & alleys — the repeat-hit zones behind retail and mixed-use buildings
- Strata & apartment buildings — parkade entrances, garbage rooms and perimeter walls
- Mural districts — careful removal around Mount Pleasant's public art
- Bylaw compliance — fast turnaround when the City issues a graffiti notice
