Glass graffiti removal in Kansas City.
Scratched and acid-etched tags removed from storefront glass across Kansas City, for business owners, property managers and community improvement districts.
Walls get repainted. Glass gets scratched.
The Downtown Community Improvement District removed 1,723 graffiti instances in 2024 (Downtown Council), and in November 2025 KCUR reported walls being re-tagged the day after they were cleaned (KCUR). The Downtown and River Market CIDs have run a dedicated graffiti removal effort since 2021 (Downtown Council).
Paint and marker on glass come off with the right solvent. Tags scratched in with a stone or etched with acid markers are different: they damage the glass itself and have to be polished out (Wikipedia). That's the part most cleaning crews can't do.

Owners, managers and districts.
Kansas City's community improvement districts handle a lot of street-level cleanup. The new Crossroads CID was approved in 2025 (Ingram's), and Westport's district requires graffiti removal within 24 hours of a report (Westport Regional Business League).
Their crews handle paint on walls. We handle the glass: scratched and etched tags on storefronts, doors and display windows.
Fast, and before opening.

Glass graffiti removal in Kansas City: questions
Can you remove graffiti scratched into glass?
Usually, yes. Light to moderate scratched tags polish out. We do a test spot first so you know the result before we continue.
Do you remove paint and marker from glass too?
Yes. Paint and marker on glass come off with the right solvent, and we check for scratches and etching underneath.
Can you take on a whole block or district?
Yes. We can restore glass across multiple storefronts and schedule around business hours.
Who has to remove graffiti from my storefront?
In Kansas City, graffiti on private property is treated as a code violation that the owner is responsible for removing. Check with the city or 311 for current requirements.
