Monument by monument or all at once we can refurbish your cemetery and work within your budget.

 

Here's what we can do:

  • Straighten tilted monuments.
  • Clean monuments with pressure washing, or acid washing.
  • Drill and dowel vertical pieces using non-corrosive stainless steel pins and special epoxy.
  • Refurbish inscriptions to keep them legible for generations to come.
  • Remove pieces of entire monuments that have disintegrated and become unsafe.
  • Create smart solutions for the unique problems of your cemetery.

See the following photos and text to see a restoration completed.

Colonial tablets in the ground may appear safe but the marble and lettering are deteriorating. Lying flat they are difficult to read and are not historically accurate.

Finishing touches are applied to the lime mortar which helps keeps moisture out.

The strength for the mends is provided by the pinned and doweled stainless steel rod within the stone.

Tablets are now secured in the sockets with soft mortar and the job is complete.

Here's what you can do:

  1. Clean your monument on a cloudy day, early in the morning or in the evening. This ensures that your monument will not be too warm.
  2. Wet down the monument surface with water.
  3. Scrub with a bristle or plastic brush (never use a wire brush!)
  4. Thoroughly rinse off the residue with clean water.
    Repeat steps 3 and 4 as necessary.
