Context & Scope

Project Overview


RSI was contracted to perform professional graffiti removal at the Bio-Techne corporate headquarters, eliminating unwanted markings from the brick facade and restoring the building’s clean, professional appearance.

The Bio-Techne headquarters in Minneapolis was tagged with graffiti across portions of its brick facade, compromising the polished, professional appearance expected of a premier corporate campus. Removing graffiti from porous masonry surfaces is rarely simple. Aggressive methods can etch, stain, or permanently scar the brick, leaving behind “ghosting” that’s often as unsightly as the original tagging.

RSI was brought in to deliver fast, effective graffiti removal without harming the underlying brick. Our team used specialized cleaning methods and products engineered to lift paint and markings from masonry while preserving the surface beneath. Through a careful, multi-step surface preparation approach, the building was returned to its clean, uniform condition in just two days, demonstrating RSI’s commitment to high-quality work delivered on a tight timeline.

The RSI Approach

Our Approach


RSI’s team evaluated the graffiti, the affected brick, and the surrounding facade before starting. This allowed our crew to select the right cleaning agents and techniques to fully remove the markings without harming the masonry.

Surface-Safe Cleaning

RSI assessed the type of paint, the extent of the tagging, and the condition of the brick to determine the safest, most effective removal method. Every product and technique was chosen specifically to protect the facade while fully eliminating the graffiti.

Fast, Focused Execution

The full removal was completed in just two days. RSI worked efficiently around the active corporate campus, maintaining safety and site access throughout so daily operations and building occupants were never disrupted.

Specialized Removal Methods

RSI applied a multi-step graffiti removal process using specialized cleaning products formulated for masonry surfaces. The result is a complete lift of paint and markings, with no etching, ghosting, or damage to the underlying brick.
