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.

Tombstone Repair and Restoration FAQ in Selbyville

Our Selbyville 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 Selbyville and bakes into a crust once rain and sun hit it. We break that bond chemically rather than scraping.

A greenish fog-like film keeps forming on our bronze marker near the Selbyville coast. What's causing that?

Bronze this close to tidal water needs more frequent attention than bronze inland. We treat the sulfide film chemically, then apply a protective wax that holds up better against the coastal air near Selbyville.

When you clean in Selbyville, does that include the back and sides too?

Nothing's left out. More than once, the unseen side of a Selbyville monument turned out to be in worse shape than the front.
