Monuments for Every Family

Why Headstone Restoration Matters

A headstone is more than a marker. It’s a legacy, a piece of history, and a way for future generations to connect with family. Over time, natural elements can damage even the strongest granite or marble. Our restoration services protect the memory and preserve the beauty of each monument.

Common Reasons for Restoration

Weather damage from rain, snow, and sun

Biological growth like moss, algae, and lichen

Faded or chipped lettering

Broken or leaning headstones

Stains from soil, leaves, or pollution

Our Professional Restoration Services

We provide complete headstone care, from basic cleaning to full repair and re-leveling. Each service is tailored to your monument’s condition.

Expert Cleaning

We use gentle, industry-approved solutions to remove dirt, moss, and biological growth without harming the stone. This brings back the natural color and beauty of the granite or marble.

Lettering Restoration

Over time, inscriptions fade and become hard to read. We restore lettering through engraving or recutting, making sure names and dates remain clear for generations.

Structural Repairs

When stones crack, lean, or shift, we carefully reset and stabilize them. Our team ensures the monument is safe, level, and secure.

Protective Treatments

For certain stones, we apply protective sealants that help resist staining and weather damage, extending the life of the headstone.

Step-by-Step Headstone Restoration Process

Step 1: Initial Assessment

We inspect the monument on-site to understand the level of cleaning or repair needed.

Step 2: Customized Plan

Our team creates a restoration plan that fits your family’s wishes and the cemetery’s guidelines.

Step 3: Careful Restoration

We clean, repair, or re-engrave the headstone using professional tools and techniques.

Step 4: Final Review

You’ll have the chance to see the results and confirm the work meets your expectations before we leave.
