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 Services Q&A in Houlton
Why is the face of the concrete foundation flaking off near the road?
Salt slush destroys concrete. Our Houlton crews clear the broken rubble away, neutralize the embedded salt, and trowel a breathable patch over the raw face.
Thick green moss covers the entire back of the headstone.
Moss holds freezing water against the rock and causes cracking. We spray a commercial root killer. The moss dies, dries out, and washes away without us having to scrape the stone.
There are brown stains bleeding down from the pine needles on the base.
Those are acidic tannins from rotting forest debris. Our Houlton team applies a specialized paste that actively sucks the brown dye out of the granite without scrubbing.
