Types of Headstones We Clean & Restore:

  • Flush Marker (Granite or Bronze) A grave marker set level with the ground, made of granite or bronze, that doesn't rise above the surrounding grass.
  • Bevel/Hickey Marker Also called a hickey marker, this flat-based marker has a slightly raised, angled top edge for easier reading.
  • Slant Monument A marker with its inscribed face angled upward from a flat base, set at a slant rather than fully upright.
  • Upright Monument A traditional vertical headstone standing upright on a base, the most common style for older cemetery sections.
  • Ledger Marker A larger, often custom-designed memorial covering multiple burial plots for a family or group.
  • Custom or Multi-Plot Memorials Tailored maintenance for statues, obelisks, and family plots. We use specialized soft-bristle techniques to protect intricate carvings and delicate stone features.

Professional Grave Stone Cleaning Services in Homer

A lawn crew left black rubber scuff marks on our Homer flat marker. Can those come off?

That's a common, low-severity fix. A citrus-based degreaser breaks down the rubber residue without touching the finish, which matters on Homer markers that deal with enough weather exposure already.

A whole layer popped off the front of our Homer headstone overnight. What causes that?

That's spalling. Moisture soaks into Homer stone, and once temperatures drop toward thirty below, the trapped water freezes hard enough to blow a thin sheet clean off the carved face — sometimes the name and date go with it.

Everything at our Homer cemetery grows thick moss within a year. Why does it come back so fast?

Southeast Alaska sits inside temperate rainforest, and Homer can see over 200 rainy days a year — about as fast as moss regrowth gets. A cleaning without a biocide just clears what's visible and leaves spores to start over.
