Why Restoration Matters
Over time, even the finest monuments can show their age. Texas weather—the heat, the rain, the occasional freeze—takes its toll. Biological growth like lichen and algae can obscure lettering. Old paint fades. Stones can shift or crack.
Restoring a family monument isn't just about appearance. It's about preserving a connection to the past, ensuring that future generations can find and honor their ancestors.
Our Restoration Services
Professional Cleaning
We use gentle, industry-approved methods to clean granite and bronze without damaging the stone. Proper cleaning removes:
- Biological growth (lichen, algae, moss)
- Dirt and environmental staining
- Hard water deposits
- Pollution residue
We never use pressure washers or harsh chemicals that can damage the stone's surface. Our methods are safe for the monument and for the surrounding landscape.
Re-lettering & Paint Restoration
Over decades, the paint that fills carved lettering can fade or flake away, making inscriptions difficult to read. We carefully restore lettering with high-quality paint matched to the original color, making names and dates clearly legible again.
Leveling & Resetting
Ground settling can cause monuments to lean or shift. We can reset stones on proper foundations to restore their upright position and ensure stability for years to come.
Crack and Chip Repair
Minor damage can often be repaired. While we can't make a crack invisible, we can stabilize it and prevent further deterioration. For significant damage, we'll give you an honest assessment of whether repair or replacement makes more sense.
Adding Inscriptions
Need to add a final date or additional family member to an existing monument? We can match the original lettering style and add new inscriptions that blend seamlessly with the existing work.
Cemetery Access
We work with cemeteries throughout Central Texas and understand the access requirements and rules for each location. We coordinate all necessary permissions so you don't have to.
