Historic stone expert, trainer and author Frederick M. Hueston will present an exclusive look into historical stone restoration on August 12-13, 2015, in Melbourne, Florida, for those eager to break into this specialized field. The cost for the two-day Historical Restoration and Preservation Seminar is $995.

 Historic stone restoration requires a certain knowledge and skill set beyond everyday floor or countertop restoration. This seminar is designed to provide the knowledge and the tools necessary to be successful in this lucrative sector of the restoration business.

 Beyond the techniques, Hueston or Dr. Fred as he is known in the industry, will also educate attendees how to market their services, as well as how to communicate with architects and conservators. Class size is limited and this seminar will only be offered only once this year.

Topics covered in the seminar include:

  • What is Historical Restoration?; 
  • Standards for Rehabilitation and the National Register; 
  • Who’s Who? (Architect, Contractor, Architectural Conservator); 
  • Repair and Maintenance of Historical Stone Masonry;
