Grave Cleaning & Headstone Restoration in Houston

Trying to keep a memorial looking dignified in Houston is a constant battle, mostly because of the Gulf Coast humidity - it just never seems to quit. This warm, sticky air is the absolute perfect incubator for black mold, that deep-green algae, and invasive moss, which attack monuments relentlessly. If you let those biological threats sit, they start eating away at the stone and quickly blur the inscriptions you cherish. Tending provides the proactive, professional defense needed here in the Houston area, using treatments that eliminate these deep growths without harming the monument itself. When you choose Our subscription service, you get peace of mind knowing your loved one’s memory is preserved year-round.

For families seeking memorial upkeep, Houston is home to many significant and historic sites. The Tending service area covers all of the city’s major memorial parks and cemeteries.

Tombstone Repair and Restoration FAQ in Houston

Houston Question What types of environmental damage does Tending address in Houston?
Our services are specifically designed to combat the Gulf Coast's high humidity challenges, including deep-seated mold, algae, and salt corrosion that affect marble, granite, and bronze memorials in the Houston region.
Houston Question Can I schedule Tending's services for any cemetery in the Houston area?
Yes, our service area covers all major memorial parks and cemeteries throughout Houston and its surrounding suburbs. We use advanced geolocation to accurately find your loved one’s plot, even without a specific lot number.
Houston Question Does Tending perform structural repairs like leveling tilted monuments?
Yes, structural stability is a key component of our ongoing grave maintenance. We inspect plots for shifting or tilting and address these issues to ensure the monument remains secure and upright throughout the Texas seasons.
Houston Question Where can I find the subscription prices for Tending services?
Our pricing is based on the size and type of monument (e.g., Flush Marker vs. Upright Monument). Full subscription details and rates are clearly listed on our main page in the section "Types Of Monuments We Care For".
Trust & Quality How do I know the work was really done?
We send before-and-after photo reports after each visit, visible in your app and email.
Services & Plans I’m not sure about the monument’s condition.
We’ll perform an initial inspection and send you photos with a suggested plan.
Location & Access The cemetery doesn’t allow outside workers.
Cemeteries that accept paid maintenance are required to allow licensed contractors. We’ll handle access permissions for you.
Why Grave Care Matters Can I clean the monument myself?
You can, but be careful. Many household cleaners damage stone. We use pH-balanced, professional products that are safe for marble, granite, and bronze.
You can gently clean a headstone using a soft cloth or sponge and mild dish soap mixed with water. Avoid using harsh household cleaners, bleach, vinegar, or power washing, as these can permanently damage the stone’s surface or lettering.
For best results and long-term preservation, we recommend leaving cleaning to our professionally trained team, who use stone-safe solutions and techniques tailored to each material type.
Payments & Subscriptions What happens if payment fails?
We’ll notify you and retry within a few days.
App & Support Can I chat with someone directly?
Yes, you can message your Care Manager in the app, or use our contact details listed below if you prefer to reach us directly.
