Sanding
Staining
Refinishing
Engineered
Engineered wood imitates the hardwood flooring planks although at a closer look you may notice that it is thinner. Engineered Floor has a base of plywood with one to five layers of hardwood laminated on top. The type most popular nowadays is a rustic or hand scraped look.
Prefinished Flooring
With prefinished flooring, you get all of the advantages of the factory-applied extra-durable surface seal, plus the look, beauty, and feel of natural hardwood. At the same time, you also always have the option later on of sanding down past the factory-applied coat to reveal the natural wood. It can then be treated with any of the basic on-site finishing techniques.
Because the material is finished at the factory, a sealing agent is not applied to the lines between the planks when they are installed. This creates slightly beveled grooves between boards, which can trap dirt and grime. The seams also may be susceptible to water penetration, which can cause rot or mold to grow beneath the surface of the floor.
Vinyl Flooring
Vinyl flooring is extremely water-resistant and won’t sustain damage even if water sits on the surface for an extended amount of time. Composed of plastic, it’s available in plank, tile and sheet form.
Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and luxury vinyl tile (LVT) are two forms that have gained popularity recently because of their durability and variety of styles available.
Laminate
Laminate Flooring Can Reproduce the Look of Wood, Stone or Other Natural Materials. It Is Very Easy to Install, but on the Downside, Laminate Flooring Cannot Be Sanded or Refinished and Has a Lower Resale Value.
Ceramic
Due to its ease of care and maintenance, the wide range of patterns and the fact that ceramic floors work in any room of the house, it’s no wonder they are as popular as they are, and especially in recent years.
Medallions
A unique addition to the wood flooring, they add a zest that enhances the overall beauty of the flooring. Medallions are perfect as decorative accents. They can be placed in the center or around the room’s perimeter. The Wood Medallions are made with hardwood to withstand foot traffic. The colors of the medallion are usually selected considering the wooden floors’ natural tones.
We offer Floor Medallion services in prefinished or unfinished form. Medallions can be placed on floors ranging between 5/16″ to 3/4″thickness. The wood medallions can be added during remodeling and restoration projects as well.
Border Inlay
There’s nothing like a border to give your hardwood floors some instant dazzling style. They can be the perfect finishing touch for a special room in the house. The patterns and materials can be customized to your own design.

Floor Maintenance
Hardwood floors add value and beauty to your home, let Albert’s Remodeling LLC help you choose the correct type of hardwood floor for your project.
Hardwood
Hardwood Flooring offers unmatched beauty, durability, structural strength, and overall long life to your home or commercial space. Below are some types of hardwood floors you can choose for your home or for office. Hardwood Floors can be sanded and refinished screened and recoated or stained (changing the color) and varnished.
Sanding
Sanding your hardwood floors is the most effective and efficient way to remove worn-down finishes and prep hardwood floors for refinishing.
Also, sanding is often the best way to restore damaged floors, including floors with deep scratches or heavy physical damage, including water damage. Sanding can also typically remove color damage on floors, caused by things like UV exposure (sunlight) and stains.
In these cases, sanding removes the damaged layer of hardwood, revealing the healthy wood underneath. After sanding and refinishing, floors will look almost as good as new and they will be ready for staining or just a new coating of polyurethane.
Buffing
Buffing or screening of hardwood floors is a simple process often referred to as a maintenance coating.
The beauty is the speed of completion; taking about a day for an average size room. A screening or buffing uses a fine grit of sandpaper only loosening up the top layer of the polyurethane.
This is a great way to remove surface scratches and dirt from your floors. An application of polyurethane adds a coat of protection and sparkle back to your hardwood floors!
Porch
Porches make great outdoor features, but you need to perform regular maintenance if you want to keep them looking fresh and clean. These structures are exposed to a lot—like foot traffic and constant exposure to the elements—so maintenance tasks like staining and sealing and cleaning make a big difference in your porch’s lifespan and prevent common problems.
A wood porch needs an annual cleaning, plus refinishing every two to three years, which involves sanding the porch and applying stain or sealer. If you have a painted deck, you’ll need to repaint it every 10 years. You should also fix and repair loose or broken deck boards, nails, and screws.
Cleaning your deck regularly and applying sealant protects the wood from the elements, water damage, rot, mildew, and fading from the sun.
