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.

Sometimes. Flaking or sugary stone is firmed up first and then washed gently; if a surface cannot take cleaning, the crew says so.
