The Tending Standard of Care in Boone
-
Deep Stain Removal & Care From industrial pollutants to natural lichen, we carefully strip away layers of buildup. We treat the stone to resist future growth and inspect the base for any structural issues. -
Detailed Paint Restoration Using professional-grade stone paint, we re-fill the lettering on the marker. This improves visibility and protects the engraving from erosion. -
Plot Hygiene & Safety We remove old flowers, fallen branches, and leaves. We also inspect the area for uneven ground or potential hazards to keeping the site safe. -
Photo & Condition Reports After each visit, you receive a detailed photo and report so you can see the results — no matter where you are. -
Personal Support Agent You get a direct line to a real person. Your manager coordinates the local crew, answers your questions, and manages special dates. -
$2M Liability Protection Your site is protected by a $2M insurance policy covering accidental damage during service.
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.
Headstone Cleaning and Restoration Guide in Boone
Black mold keeps forming on our Boone headstone near the river. Is the river valley humidity the reason?
Yes — tree cover in older river-valley cemeteries near Boone traps humidity against the stone, and that persistent dampness is close to ideal for black mold to establish.
A wire brush looks faster for stubborn grime on a Boone monument. Why not use one?
It trades a fast win for a worse problem down the line. Once granite's scratched on a Boone monument, that damage doesn't heal.
Our Boone bronze marker corroded fast after a hard winter. Could road salt be responsible?
Winter road salt near Boone does real damage to bronze over a single season if a marker's close enough to catch the spray. We treat it as salt corrosion specifically, not standard oxidation.
