Commercial flooring
Big floors, worked around your hours
A commercial floor is measured in days of lost trading as much as in square feet. So the work gets sectioned, scheduled around your opening hours and staged so the parts you need most are back first.
We sand and refinish gymnasium and rink floors, install and coat warehouse and shop floors, and fit vinyl, tile and carpet through offices and back of house. Mike runs the job himself, which is why the finish on the last section matches the first.

Gym floors and rinks are their own trade
A sports floor gets sanded flatter than a domestic one, because a dead spot or a ripple changes how the floor plays and how it grips. Game lines and logos go on between coats so they sit under the finish rather than on top of it, and the finish itself is a commercial grade build chosen for the traffic and the shoes. Then it is cure time, which is the part that decides when you reopen and the part nobody can shorten. We plan it backwards from your first booking.
The floor build is the same one we use as a Lewes flooring contractor on a house.
Warehouse, shop and plant floors
Forklifts, pallet trucks, dropped stock, cleaning chemicals and a floor nobody can close. A resin floor handles that and cuts the daily clean down to a machine and a mop, and a lighter color throws the lights around, which makes a real difference in a building with no windows. Bay by bay is normal here: we section the floor, coat it in stages and keep you running. It is the same build as our epoxy flooring, specified harder.
Sports floors have their own published standards, set out by the Maple Flooring Manufacturers Association.

Call (302) 232-7524Offices, corridors and back of house
Offices, clinics, salons, schools and church halls mostly want the floor down fast, quiet and clean, with no smell the morning after. Vinyl plank and commercial sheet vinyl cover most of it, carpet tile where sound matters, tile at the entrances that take the weather. Most of this work happens in evenings and weekends, which we price in rather than surprise you with. If a floor is already wood, refinishing it is usually cheaper and faster than replacing it.
In offices and halls that want wood, laying new wood is the other option.
Who actually turns up?
Mike Reed and his own crews. On a commercial job that matters more than it does in a house, because a schedule only holds if the same people are there every night and the finish on the last section matches the first. There is no main contractor passing your floor down a chain. Best Choice Flooring has been doing this since 1999, the crews are insured, the company is fully bonded, and the work is guaranteed. Tell us the space and the deadline and you will get a plan built around both.

Straight answers about your flooring questions
Can you work nights and weekends?
Yes, and most commercial jobs run that way. Tell us your hours and the schedule gets built around them rather than the other way round.
How long is a gym floor out of use?
Sanding is a few days depending on size, then lines and coats with drying time between them, then cure time before heavy use. Mike gives you the calendar backwards from the date you need it open.
Do you do roller rinks?
Yes. Rink floors are some of the biggest wood floors we sand and finish, and we have done them before. Send through the size and the surface.
Can you coat a warehouse floor in sections?
That is normally the only way to do it. We section the floor so you keep operating, and plan which bays come out of use when.
Do you handle carpet tile and commercial vinyl?
Yes, alongside tile, vinyl plank and sheet vinyl. Most commercial jobs are a mix and it is easier when one crew handles the lot.
Do you work outside Lewes?
Right across the beaches and inland Sussex County, including Rehoboth Beach, Dewey Beach, Milton, Bethany Beach, Georgetown, Millsboro and Ocean City, MD. Our Dover location covers the rest of Delaware. Call (302) 232-7524 with the location and the size.
