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.

Guide to Headstone Maintenance Services in Shaftsbury

Can fragile historic Vermont marble be cleaned and stabilized near Shaftsbury?

Yes, and restoration work firms up crumbling surfaces with a consolidant after the stone is cleaned.

How do you remove maple sap and fermented leaf stain from stones near Shaftsbury?

By soaking the stain and lifting it with a poultice, since scrubbing sap into stone sets it deeper.

Yes, though both are cleaned with soft tools and mild products, and the crew adjusts the soaking time.
