Sand blasting, chemical washing and pressure washing do work well. But when you require something less intrusive, whether it be a historic building or a busy area where these methods cannot be used, laser cleaning is a the best method. We can clean graffiti, oil and paint from brick, concrete and stone surfaces on your commercial buildings, walkways and landscaping.

Vancouver’s iconic and historic buildings made of brick, sandstone, concrete, marble and other types of masonry are ideal candidates for Rapidfire’s laser cleaning technology. We don’t use water, sandblasting or chemicals to renew hard surfaces.

We can clean hoods, pots and pans, tiled floors and walls, stoves, ovens, refrigerators, without the use of chemicals, sand or pressure washing. Laser cleaning will strip grease, oil and paint, leaving you with a freshly exposed substrate.

Wood bar tops, cutting boards, tables and chairs can be stripped of varnish, stain and paint without sanding or chemical strippers.

We clean wood, aluminum, iron, steel and stainless steel railings and stairways. Oil, paint, grime and stains can be removed without the use of chemicals, sandblasters or pressure washers.

Vancouver is home to a variety of landmark buildings with copper roofing. Laser cleaning is an alternative to chemical and abrasive cleaning methods. Please note that we require clients to arrange for scaffolding and site securing before any work or assessment can be done.

There are many businesses and loft owners who love their Douglas-fir, hemlock and cedar post and beam spaces. Before laser cleaning was accessible, sandblasting was a good way to strip paint and aging from these historic buildings. This is a more invasive process that creates dust and requires a great deal of cleanup. Laser cleaning technology permits us to strip beams, posts, wooden ceilings and floors without abrasive or texture modification. We are also fully equipped with a line of dustless floor sanding machines to refinish wood floors.

Laser ablation permits us to carefully clean and restore sensitive pieces in museums, historic buildings and institutions. Wood, metal, stone artifacts, and building interiors can be carefully cleaned of smoke damage, oil, paint, varnish, and ageing, leaving original patina, scratching, indentations on the substrate. This is an excellent alternative to sanding, chemical cleaning and pressure washing. It is one of the least invasive methods of cleaning and restoring.

Our 1000W 50mJ laser can readily clean statues and architectural carvings. Bronze, sandstone, concrete, cement and marble can be cleaned with lasers. Scale, rust, oxidation, fungus, mold, and ageing can be erased, leaving the work appearing renewed.

Restaurant furniture sees a lot of wear and tear. Chairs, tables, bars and counters made of wood, metal and concrete are just a few examples of furniture that can be stripped clean and refinished.
