Bronze And Granite Luster

08/03/2025

Sometimes, time and nature can be relentless. We received a granite monument whose story was nearly hidden beneath a thick layer of lichen and fungus. The letters were faded, and the stone had lost its noble appearance. This wasn't just a stone, but someone's history, and we treated it with the utmost respect.

Our team conducted a multi-stage restoration. We used specialized, powerful, yet stone-safe solutions to remove the deeply embedded lichen. Nylon brushes and special stone soap helped us gently clean the surface of years of dirt and grime.

After a deep clean, we polished all flat surfaces, restoring the granite's original shine and smoothness. The final touch was the meticulous repainting of each letter, making the inscription clear and legible once again.

For us, every such project is more than just a job. It's a tribute, a preservation of heritage, and a restoration of dignity to a final resting place. Swipe to see the difference, and remember: no story should ever be forgotten.

Did you know that in the U.S., there are strict standards for treating historic properties, developed by the National Park Service (NPS)? They outline three key approaches:

Preservation: Imagine a doctor performing a check-up. The goal is to maintain the current state, slow down deterioration, but not to change anything fundamentally. This involves gentle cleaning and conservation.

Restoration: This is like recreating a photograph from a specific year. The aim is to return a property to its appearance at a particular period in its history, even if it means removing later changes.

Rehabilitation: This is the most flexible and frequently used approach. Here, we acknowledge that a property needs not only to retain its historic character but also to be adapted to continue its life. This might include carefully adding new elements (like a sturdy base) for stability while preserving the maximum amount of original material.

At Tending, we most often apply the standards of Rehabilitation. We don't just "repair"—we ensure the headstone has a long and dignified future, preserving its authenticity and historical value. Our approach guarantees that the memory of your loved ones is preserved respectfully, professionally, and for generations to come.

Granite is durable, but time still takes its toll: polish fades, white lettering dulls. This monument with engraved letters and imagery needed full restoration — and Tending delivered, step by step.

We cleaned both the front and back of the headstone using a special stone solution, nylon brushes, and water. The stone was then mechanically repolished to restore smoothness and shine. The faded white letters and image were carefully repainted with fresh, weather-resistant paint. We completed the process with a finishing polish for a clean, refined look.

We don’t just restore form — we give memory its voice back.

Choosing between granite and marble for a memorial is not just a matter of beauty, but of durability, especially in America's diverse climate.

In the northern states, where freeze-thaw cycles are a common occurrence, granite stands as a true guardian of memory. Its dense structure absorbs very little moisture, protecting the stone from cracking during harsh winters.

Marble, with its classic beauty, is more porous and vulnerable. In the Northeast, where acid rain is unfortunately not uncommon, marble can lose the clarity of its inscriptions and details over time. It's like watching time slowly erase words from a page.

Our mission at Tending is not just to care for headstones, but to help you make a choice that will preserve the cherished memory of your loved ones for generations. We are here to share our knowledge and help you choose a stone that will stand the test of time in your corner of the country.
