Creating a timeless and beautiful memorial to honor a loved one’s life is an act of deep significance. At Da Vinci Gravestones & Monuments, we’ve been providing unparalleled cemetery monument restoration and repair services across Northern and Central New Jersey for over 80 years.
Our family-owned and operated business is built on a foundation of craftsmanship, care, and commitment to our community. Time and nature can take a toll on monuments and gravestones, diminishing their beauty and legibility.
Restoration ensures that these memorials continue to honor loved ones for generations. A well-maintained cemetery fosters a sense of peace and respect for all visitors. Restored monuments contribute to a clean and harmonious environment.
Da Vinci Gravestones & Monuments specialize in fully preserving and rejuvenating headstones, gravestones, grave markers, and memorial stones that have suffered from weathering, moss growth, staining, or surface damage. Our Skilled restorative staff comprised of stone carving experts and designers come together to make what was once old: New again.
Did we mention that we are a ‘green’ company. We do care about the environment so you’ll be happy to know that any chemicals used for cleaning are completely safe and non-invasive. We use gentle abrasives, eco-friendly solutions to carefully remove dirt, grime, moss, and so much more while polishing it. If you have a feeling that your memorial or monument is going to need far more than hard work and coordinated scrubbing, we have industrial equipment built specifically for these cases. Your monument will be like new with our services.
Weather: Years of rain, snow, ice, heavy winds, and sitting water can all cause issues.
Pollution: Is your stone near a road? A highway? An industrial part of town or a city in New Jersey? If so, years of polluted air can have a negative effect on any surface.
Biological Growth: Over time, water build up will attract moss or algae. This will continue spreading eventually causing discoloration or surface degradation.
Age: The most obvious factor. With routine maintenance, you can greatly reduce the risk of damage but it needs to be consistently cleaned. Despite this, stone work which was precisely and carefully carved, along with letters which were inscribed with the same level of detail will begin to erode.
Our Bronze plaque refinishing and restoration services are designed to preserve the beauty and integrity of commemorative, memorial, and historical plaques that have weathered over time. These services involve cleaning, polishing, and refinishing the bronze to remove oxidation, corrosion, and environmental buildup that can dull its surface.
Da Vince Gravestones & Monuments use specialized techniques and materials to restore the plaque’s original luster while maintaining its engravings and intricate details. Protective coatings are often applied to prevent future tarnishing and ensure long-lasting durability. Whether for a historical marker, memorial plaque, or decorative signage, professional refinishing enhances the aesthetic appeal and longevity of these meaningful artifacts.
We can’t speak for the work of other headstone dealers but in terms of our work, there’s never a question of durability. Materials such as granite and bronze do stand the test of time. However, no matter their strength you have to take into account factors that may degrade the condition of a headstone over time which are completely out of anyone’s control.
Weather, age and accidents are the big three most common causes for damage. It could start out with a hairline fracture at the base of the stone but he issue here is that like anything else; there’s a compounding effect. Over time, the crack will lead to increased exposure from the elements compromising it’s shape, structure and more.
We are more than happy to provide absolutely effective repair solutions for all kinds of headstones, grave markers, plaques and memorials. With the assistance of our team of stone carving professionals, your damage will be a thing of the past.
