Reclaiming Stone: How to Remove and Reset Interior and Exterior Stonework

Reclaiming Stone: How to Remove and Reset Interior and Exterior Stonework is a practical guide for anyone who wants to salvage stone features instead of replacing them. It explains how different stones behave during removal, how bonding and installation methods affect salvage potential, and how to tell when a job is worth attempting in the first place. You’ll learn how to safely take apart fireplace surrounds, countertops, tile installations, exterior veneers, patios, garden features, and more, without turning everything into rubble.
