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.
Questions on Gravestone Restoration & Repair in Skagway
Everything at our Skagway cemetery grows thick moss within a year. Why does it come back so fast?
Southeast Alaska sits inside temperate rainforest, and Skagway 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.
Fish processing near our Skagway plot leaves a greasy film on everything. Can that be cleaned off stone?
Processing-plant air in port towns like Skagway carries fine particulate that bonds to stone fast. We treat it as an oil stain, breaking down the greasy layer chemically before the surface ever gets scrubbed.
Do you get permission from the Skagway cemetery office before doing any work?
Yes, when a cemetery requires it. Some Skagway cemeteries need advance notice or a permit for anything beyond basic cleaning, and our crew handles that before scheduling the visit, not after.
