Frequently Asked Questions

What is sandblasting used for in monument work?
Sandblasting is the most common technique for engraving text and imagery into granite and other stone surfaces. High-pressure abrasive material removes stone to create a recessed design, resulting in lettering and artwork that holds up well outdoors for many decades.
Can Baker Monument restore an old Cape Cod headstone that's hard to read?
Restoration of worn inscriptions is a specialty for providers who combine sandblasting with stonemasonry skills. The craftsman can re-cut faded lettering, clean biological growth from the surface, and re-set stones that have shifted over time.
Does Cape Cod's salt air environment affect granite monuments?
Granite is highly resistant to weathering and handles coastal conditions better than softer stones like marble or limestone. That said, regular cleaning can extend the life of any monument and keep inscriptions looking sharp regardless of the environment.
How do I get cemetery approval before ordering a monument in Falmouth?
Most cemeteries in the Falmouth and Barnstable County area require a permit or approval before a new monument is installed. Your monument provider typically handles the application and coordinates with the cemetery on your behalf as part of the installation service.
Can I add to an existing monument if a spouse passes away later?
Yes, adding a second name, date, or inscription to an existing monument is a common request. A sandblasting specialist can add new engraving that matches the style and depth of the original work, keeping the monument visually consistent.
What should I do if a monument is leaning or has fallen over?
A leaning or fallen monument is usually a foundation issue and should be addressed promptly to prevent further damage. Contact a stonemasonry provider who handles re-setting work, as they can excavate, rebuild the foundation, and properly re-install the stone.
