Monument Restoration in Ohio
Bringing weathered and neglected monuments back to dignity — growth removal, refinishing and inscription revival. Served across Ohio with a local network near Galloway.
Monument Restoration across Ohio, coordinated from first call to final photo
Older monuments can lose their finish and legibility to decades of weather, lichen and staining. Restoration goes beyond a routine clean: we remove biological growth, treat and refinish weathered granite and bronze, and revive faded inscriptions where the stone allows. Not every worn letter or aged surface can safely return to a like-new look — we explain the realistic result and the limits before we start, and follow cemetery-approved methods. Each project is recorded with before-and-after photos.
In Ohio, monument restoration is supported by our 1 showroom and warehouse location in Galloway. These are listed locations, not a promise of shorter lead times or lower charges. Confirm access, crew availability and the full scope for your cemetery before booking.
We work with monuments purchased from any retailer — not just our own family of brands — and every visit in Ohio is documented with photos so distant families can see the work was done correctly and respectfully.

VA will replace a government headstone, marker or medallion that is damaged beyond repair, or has deteriorated so it no longer identifies the person buried.

Restoration starts with knowing a cemetery’s history. Here is what VA publishes for Camp Chase Confederate Cemetery.
Camp Chase Confederate Cemetery
History
Camp Chase Confederate Cemetery is located in Franklin County, Ohio, six miles west of downtown Columbus.
The federal government purchased the site in 1879.
Camp Chase shifted from a training camp for Union Army recruits to a prisoner-of-war camp early in the war.
The facility was named after Salmon P. Chase, Treasury Secretary under President Abraham Lincoln, and former governor of Ohio.
The first inmates at Camp Chase were chiefly political and military prisoners from Kentucky and Western Virginia allegedly loyal to the Confederacy.
Monuments and memorials
There are two monuments in Camp Chase Confederate Cemetery.
The first depicts a bronze figure of a Confederate Civil War soldier standing atop a granite arch, his rifle held vertically in front of him, with both hands resting on the top of the barrel.
Originally the memorial consisted of a wooden arch inscribed with the word AMERICANS, but in 1902 the wooden arch was replaced with this 17' tall stone memorial.

“The deep cleaning and leveling completely transformed the family plot. The before-and-after photos were incredible, and now the stone looks like it did when it was first installed. We’re very grateful for the care they showed.”
