Concepts In Bronze

I really need help with this: A bronze marker for my husband's grave was ordered in August, 2005 and installed in November, 2005. A year later, I noticed a leaf stuck to the monument. When removed, the brown coating (paint) on the bronze came off with the leaf. I called and they repaired it. Now, four years later, not only is that spot back but the brown coating is peeling in other places. It looks like all the coating is coming off. I called the company again and was told they would check it when they got time. Nothing by July and I called back. They did not have time to talk to me. Too busy. I called the owner of the company Sandy Shultz at 786 547-0389 and told him the problem. He agreed to check into it for me. I told him I just wanted it fixed. Obviously something was defective with the bronze coating or the bronze itself. Again, no return call, no action. I called him two weeks ago and he said he no longer owns the company but he would let them know to contact me. Still no return call and nothing has been done at the gravesite. I called another company to see about repairs and they said this company manufacures their own bronze and they can't touch it. I really want this fixed and I don't want to buy an entirely new marker unless it is absolutely necessary. It cost a lot of money and I thought these monuments (markers) were meant to last forever. The company goes by three different names, Abe's Monument Wholesalers/Monuments in Bronze/Empire Bronze. Maybe that should have been a hint not to use this company. I have copies of the email sent to the company and Mr. Shultz, with pictures attached when only one spot was affected. I can take current pictures if that will help. The grave is located at Vista Memorial Gardens Section Fernlawn Lot 176 Grave 3&4.
