The Wind Corridor
Golden Valley sits in a chute between the Black Mountains and the Cerbat Mountains. The wind funnels through here. It carries sharp desert grit. It hits headstones like a sandblaster.
This scours the polish off granite, leaving it dull. If you are searching for headstone cleaning services near me because the marker looks matte or rough, that is wind erosion. We apply stone enhancers to restore the shine and a sacrificial coating to take the abuse.
Thermal Stress
It gets hot here, and it gets cold. This rapid cycling stresses the stone. It causes joints to pop on upright markers. We check for loose bases. Our tombstone repair and restoration teams re-seal these joints with flexible compounds to keep the monument stable.
Sun Bleached Lettering
The sun burns the paint out of engravings. A name that was black fades to gray. We specialize in cleaning stone gravestones and re-inking the letters with UV-stable paint. We make sure the history remains readable.
