“I needed three tombstones cleaned and restored, so I did some research and found Nationwide Grave Care & Headstone Cleaning. I emailed them to ask about their services and costs, and they quickly replied and even called to discuss the details. Two of the stones were 19 years old, and the third was at least 30 years old, all in need of cleaning and restoration. After reviewing the different options, I chose the one that best fit my budget and timeline. I was very impressed with their workmanship and how quickly the job was done. The stones looked like new, with all the stains and grime gone, and they even sent me before and after photos. I felt it was a great value for the work done and wouldn’t hesitate to use their service again.”

Questions on Gravestone Restoration & Repair in Reading

How are stones recovered after a river flood near Reading?

By hand. Silt and debris are dug away, the stones are rinsed, and each footing is probed for washed-out soil.

Is a cemetery near Reading without water or a proper road a problem for the crew?

No, because everything needed for cleaning arrives on the truck, even at a remote plot.

Why does frost push stone bases up in northern Pennsylvania near Reading?

Because frost reaches below shallow footings, a footing set below the frost line cures it, which repair work provides using compacted gravel under each stone.

Do bird droppings damage marble headstones in Reading?

Yes, but only marble. Granite resists, and the Reading cemetery's older white stones are the ones that need early cleaning.
