The difference is not always quite as dramatic at this!
This granite marker was donated to BFA Saint Albans by the Class of 1993. They asked to have it cleaned prior to their 30th reunion.
Looking better.
These stones in Newark were pretty nearly buried before a little excavation and cleaning.
The family did not realize that there were 3 flat markers until we dug up and cleaned them all.
The Way-O’Donnell and Hronek family plats in Springfield, Vermont. Placed between the 1920’s and the 1960’s These gravestones would look much like those that surround them without cleaning and care.
This granite monument in West Brattleboro, Vermont was the first stone that we worked on. Dr. George H. Harvey was my great-great-great grandfather.
The Harvey grave site when we returned to check the initial cleaning . We had just cleaned and straightened the smaller and older marble foot-stones when this picture was taken.
This large site in Springfield’s Summer Hill Cemetery honors some of the founders of the town’s famed machine tool industry. Besides the two impressive large monuments there were nine smaller granite headstones, seven flat white marble headstones, and about 80 linear feet of wall.
This was a hard job but the final result was worth it. Some of the hottest days of the summer!
Applying the biological solution to marble stones belonging to my great (x4) grandparents Abiah and Betsy Fuller in the Rawsonville, Vermont cemetery. These stones date to the 1850’s. You can see the nasty green and brown mold and algae leeching from the stones after the biological solution begins to work. It needs a day or so of dry weather for the solution to soak in and then you just let nature take its course for a few weeks. Rain will wash away the debris. Sometimes a little touch up is necessary to clear up stubborn stains especially on older marble stones.
