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.

What if the cemetery in Shelby does not have running water?

That is not a problem. Our mobile field units are fully self-contained. We bring our own pure water supply to every job in Shelby.

Do you clean the back and sides of the monument, or just the front?

We clean the entire stone. Our restoration process covers the face, back, sides, and the base of the monument, ensuring the whole plot looks pristine.

The flat marker in Shelby has sunk into the mud. Can you lift it?

Sinking markers are a big issue after storm season in Shelby. We pry the stone up and pack the hole with gravel so it doesn't sink back down.
