Common Headstone Repair Questions in Paris

Can I use spray paint from the hardware store to fill the letters?

If you use retail paint, it will ruin the stone's face. Our Paris technicians use a specialized liquid enamel that chemically bonds to the rock and resists ice wedging.

The flat bronze veteran plaque turned a chalky, bright green.

Coastal salt air eats the protective clear coat, causing the copper to oxidize. We strip the dead lacquer, polish the corrosion off, and apply a marine-grade sealer.

The fog from the ocean makes the stone feel gritty and rough. What is that?

Salt spray from the coast coats the stone. If left untreated, the salt crystals grow inside the rock and blow it apart. Our Paris crews use specific poultices to flush the salt out safely.
