Graffiti Removal Business Invoicing App (2026)
Graffiti removal is fast-response work billed to cities, transit agencies, and property managers who need documentation and net terms. ShowTheReceipts ($15/mo) saves your per-square-foot and per-tag rates, attaches before-and-after photos to every job, and sends a PO-referenced invoice the same day so a 48-hour response doesn't become a 60-day wait for payment.
How we picked
Entry-plan prices as published in 2026, taken from each vendor's own pricing page or a recent third-party summary. Judged on the solo operator's real workflow — per-tag and per-square-foot rates, before-and-after documentation, and institutional invoicing on net terms — not on municipal work-order systems, 311 integrations, or fleet dispatch.

The proof is the absence of something
That’s the odd shape of this business: when you do the job perfectly, the site looks like nothing ever happened. No photo pair, no evidence — and on a municipal account, no evidence means no approved invoice.

What changes the price
- Surface — glass and metal are fast; porous brick and stucco are not
- Method — chemical removal, pressure, soda blasting, or paint-out
- Coverage — a marker tag versus a full wall
- Height — ladder or lift work
- Paint matching — custom-matched paint-out is its own line
- Response time — a 24-hour SLA is worth a premium
The maintenance agreement is the prize
A monthly retainer for unlimited removals within a response window turns the most unpredictable trade on this list into recurring revenue — and it’s an easy sell, because the property manager’s actual goal is never having to think about it again.
Frequently asked questions
How should graffiti removal be priced?
Per tag with a call-out minimum for one-off work, or per square foot on large coverage — plus surcharges for porous surfaces, height, and paint-matching. A single hourly rate can't distinguish a marker tag on glass from a spray mural on brick.
Why do before-and-after photos matter?
Because your customer usually isn't on site and the evidence of the work is, by definition, the absence of something. Paired photos attached to the invoice are what municipal and property accounts require to approve payment at all.
How do I bill a city or transit agency?
With a PO or work-order number on the invoice, a W-9 on file, and net terms. Institutional graffiti work is steady, recurring, and reliable — but it moves entirely on paperwork, and an invoice missing the reference number simply waits.
Should I offer a maintenance agreement?
Yes — a monthly fee covering unlimited removals within a response window is the best contract in this trade. It converts unpredictable one-off calls into predictable revenue and makes you the only number the property manager needs to keep.
