Professional Liability Safety We treat every grave with respect, backed by a $2,000,000 policy that protects against any accidental damage during restoration.
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.
Grave Marker Repair & Restoration Questions in Milton
What exactly goes into the cleaning solutions used on Milton headstones?
Nothing exotic most days — a gentle, balanced cleaner covers granite, marble, and bronze alike. Anything stronger only comes out for an actual problem on a Milton marker, like salt damage or rust.
Our Milton bronze marker has dark tarnish that won't wipe off. Could poultry farms be the cause?
Very possibly. Sussex County's poultry operations push ammonia-heavy dust into the air, and it settles onto bronze near Milton and bakes into a crust once rain and sun hit it. We break that bond chemically rather than scraping.
A sulfur-like crust keeps forming on our Milton headstone. Could that be from the refineries?
That crust near industrial parts of Milton is airborne sulfur compounds bonding to the stone, not ordinary soot. We neutralize it with a buffered alkaline wash rather than plain scrubbing.
