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.
Tombstone Repair and Restoration FAQ in Franconia
Why don't you use a pressure washer to clean Franconia headstones?
High-pressure water blasts the factory paint out of the lettering and forces moisture deep into the Franconia granite. We exclusively utilize low-pressure chemical soft-washing.
The factory paint in the engraved letters vanished after a harsh Franconia winter. Do you repaint inscriptions?
Rapid Virginia thermal drops crystallize factory acrylic paint. We handle complete Franconia headstone lettering restoration. Specialists clear the empty grooves using tungsten-carbide picks and inject extreme-weather polyaspartic hybrid pigments.
Why do you refuse to use bleach on Franconia headstones?
Household bleach contains sodium hypochlorite that permanently etches polished granite and accelerates the decay of soft Franconia marble. We only use safe, specialized quaternary ammonium biocides.
