Headstone maintenance is essential for the long-term preservation of gravestones in any Canadian cemetery. It’s also something you can do yourself with regular care. However, even with regular care, DIY methods may not be enough to remove stubborn stains or repair structural damage. That’s why it’s best to trust professionals when it comes to headstone restoration.
This is what our family business offers you. We restore granite and soft stone monuments affected by time, weather, or biological factors. Our goal is to honour the memory of your loved ones by restoring beauty and dignity to each headstone.
Here are the advantages of choosing Martel & Sons:
Your satisfaction is our priority. By choosing our personalized professional restoration service, you are choosing expert tips and technology. From faded inscriptions to weather-worn surfaces, we restore each stone with precision, using techniques tailored to its material.
Headstone restoration shouldn’t just be a simple cleaning, but a regular approach, not only to pay tribute to your dearly departed loved one, but to prevent the stone from deteriorating in the place of contemplation.
We carry out headstone restoration services and maintenance suited to each type of stone. Our team uses biological and non-chemical methods to remove dirt, moss, or black stains without damaging the stone. We use soft brushes and low-pressure water to scrub and restore the natural shine without affecting inscriptions or delicate elements.
Martel & Sons devotes the greatest respect to ecology. In fact, we use dust collectors with reusable cartridges that offer an optimal, unprecedented performance. We have also chosen not to use any harmful products such as silica, unlike the competition. Our cleaners are safe for the environment and for the stone itself.
We’re there to assist you in the restoration of your tombstone, as well as funeral monument restoration in general. We also carefully clean funeral markers, memorial plaques, customizable engravings such as additional inscriptions on the headstone, funerary urns, and family monuments (e.g., family headstones).
