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 repair. 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.
