FAQ on Headstone Restoration Services in Rumford

There is a hard black crust all over the monument. Is it just dirt?

That is industrial carbon or wood pellet exhaust. You can't just wash it off. Our Rumford technicians use specialized degreasers to melt the hydrocarbon bond safely.

My grandfather's headstone tipped completely over this spring in Rumford.

Mud season in Maine destroys shallow foundations. We extract the block, dig out the wet clay, and pack a deep crushed stone pad so the frost can't grab it next year.

Can you fix a leaning headstone during the winter in Rumford?

If the frost is deep in Rumford, we pause our leveling services. We wait until mud season passes to auger the footprint and properly tamp the crushed stone base.
