My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Removing Interior Brick Pavers

16 years ago

We are renovating our kitchen that currently has brick pavers (they are white so I'm not sure if they are ceramic coated or what).

The pavers are set in a mortar subfloor with a metal lath floor below it screwed to the original wood floors.

How can we best remove them? A hammer is quite labor intensive. Is there a better tool? I small jack-hammer?

We would like to preserve the wood flooring as much as possible.

Thank you!!
