Monument Care
Without regular care, nature will take a toll on any stone monument. Mosses, lichens, and molds can obscure names, dates and artwork. Over time dirt, grass clippings, leaves, tree sap, and animal droppings can stain a stone. If uncared for long enough, a monument can be permanently damaged. Proper care will allow a monument to retain its beauty for years to come.
Rates listed below apply to Antrim County, Kalkaska County and Otsego County west of I-75. An additional fee will be applied to monuments outside this area. Call for a quote. Monument cleaning is available from May - October.
