Removal of existing graphics has a lot of unknowns. You may be asked to remove someone else’s work. Ask yourself:
- What is being removed? And from what substrate?
- How long have the graphics been on the substrate?
- If removing rigid signage, What gets done with them after? (I.e. Dispose, Ship).
- If shipping, where to? Is there any special packing instructions?
- If graphics have already been removed, is there any adhesive left?
- Was any primer, adhesive promoter, glue, or double-sided tape used? If Yes, have I accounted for an extra cost?
- Will we require a chemical to remove? If so, have we tested it first?
- Are chemical fumes a concern? If so, is there proper ventilation?
- If removing vinyl, does it have a vinyl laminate or liquid laminate? If liquid, Have I accounted for an extra cost?
- Is any repair work scheduled after the removal?
- If the repair involves repaint, has enough cure time been given before proceeding with installation?
