Vandalism & Graffiti Restoration

Removing graffiti from an older building deserves a different approach than cleaning a modern painted surface. New Bern is home to a wide variety of architectural finishes, including historic masonry, decorative woodwork, and other materials that may be sensitive to aggressive cleaning.

SERVPRO of New Bern offers vandalism cleanup and graffiti restoration services for homes, businesses, and managed properties throughout New Bern and surrounding Craven County communities.

Spray paint, ink, and other markings can penetrate porous surfaces or interact with existing finishes. Attempting removal without considering the substrate may cause discoloration, surface erosion, or additional damage.

Our professionals evaluate the affected material, the type of marking, and the condition of the finish before recommending an appropriate cleaning method. Some surfaces may require additional assessment, particularly where historic materials or specialized coatings are involved.

Whether vandalism affects a commercial storefront, residential property, or another community building, careful material evaluation is an important part of restoration. The objective is to address unwanted markings while minimizing avoidable changes to the original surface.
