Headstone Cleaning and Restoration Guide in Mount Vernon

Do you clean the back and sides of the monument, or just the front?

A complete cleaning means 360 degrees. Our Mount Vernon teams treat every exposed surface of the granite, including the foundation pad.

How long does the biocide treatment take to work in the Mount Vernon rain?

The biocide kills the roots immediately. The constant drizzle in Mount Vernon actually helps wash the dead biological matter away over the following weeks.

There is thick, crusty lichen on the granite. Will you scrape it off?

Lichen roots dig directly into the rock. Our Mount Vernon team soaks the growth chemically until it releases its grip, ensuring we don't scratch the granite.
