Professional Results for Albemarle Memorials

  • 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.
  • Inscription Recovery We remove the moss and dirt filling the letters, then re-apply pigment where needed to ensure the memorial tells its story clearly.
  • Grave Site Tending Regular inspections prevent long-term damage. We keep the site tidy, clear away overgrowth, and watch for any signs of sinking or shifting.
  • 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.
  • Professional Liability Safety We treat every grave with respect, backed by a $2,000,000 policy that protects against any accidental damage during restoration.

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 Albemarle

Are you insured to do repair work in Albemarle cemeteries?

Yes. We maintain full commercial liability coverage, ensuring both your family's memorial and the Albemarle cemetery property are protected.

Can you remove hard water and irrigation rust stains?

Irrigation rust is tough because it bakes into the stone. Our Albemarle technicians apply a chemical that isolates the iron and pulls it out of the granite pores.

The bronze plaque on the granite base is loose. Can you tighten it?

Yes. If the hidden anchor bolts have loosened due to frost or debris, we can clear out the gap and safely tighten the bronze marker back down to the granite.
