Our Services
We are a professional Headstone Cleaning company that serves mainly the New River Valley and the Roanoke Valley. It shows respect to our loved ones to maintain the beauty of their Headstones. Headstones are not just to memorialize our family members, but to give the living family members a place to visit and spend time with their family. This reflects the love and appreciation you still hold for them.
We do not repair, raise, or level markers or monuments. We strictly do what we do best - clean your loved one’s headstone.
All stones are porous material that allows moisture, dirt, pollution and biological microbes such as mold, mosses, and algae that presents a great place to grow. Many headstones are being ruined by the microbes that are found in the minerals in the headstone.
We know your loved ones rest beneath these Headstones. We will clean and care for these headstones just as if they were our loved ones to cherish and honor!

Who we are
We are a professional Headstone Cleaning company. Cemeteries and graveyards can be lonely and impersonal. Taking steps to maintain your loved one’s headstone will create a sense of love and care. Knowing their final resting place is well maintained can bring you a sense of peace and comfort.
All stones are porous material that allows moisture, dirt, pollution and biological microbes such as mold, mosses, and algae that presents a great place to grow. Many headstones are being ruined by the microbes that are found in the minerals in the headstone.
Before cleaning, we will ensure stability and security to make sure it can be cleaned. When we assess the monument, we look closely for flaking, crumbling, or leaning. If the stone is unstable, we will not attempt to clean it.
The temperature must be 45 degrees or above before we will attempt to clean it. We do not want the moisture to freeze inside the monument.
The Products we use
We only use a biological solution called D2. This liquid removes stains from mold, algae, mildew, lichens and air pollutants. It is effective on marble, granite, limestone, brownstone, travertine, masonry, terra cotta, concrete, stucco, wood and other architectural surfaces including monuments, sculptures, and headstones.
We use this solution followed by scrubbing with a soft nylon or natural bristle brush. We use all size brushes including tooth brushes for the tiny crevaces. Lots of water is also used for rinsing. The Headstone will be blow dried after cleaning.
D2 is a proven solution and has been successfully used to clean millions of buildings and monuments. From the White House to Arlington Cemetery, D2 is trusted to work and keep on working when results matter.
D2 works with the elements and results occur immediately and continue to get better with time. The surface will become cleaner over time as the subsurface biological stains release. You will see a difference after one week , one month, and several months.
What we do NOT do:
Never use acids or bleaches
Never use high powered pressure washers
Never use Power Tools
