Bethany Beach flooring
Yes, we work in Bethany Beach
Bethany is a straight run down Route 1 from the Lewes office, over the inlet bridge and past the state park. Mike looks at the floor himself and runs the crew that does it.
A lot of Bethany houses have been in the family for years. The floors are often original and worth saving, and the job is to bring them back without losing the season.
What a Bethany floor is actually up against
Years of summers. A beach house floor gets sand every day it is open, and the finish wears through on the main paths long before the wood does. Underneath the gray is usually good wood that just needs a sand and new coats.
Houses that sit closed all winter have their own problem. With nobody running the heat or the air, humidity swings and the boards move. We check the moisture and the gaps before we pick a finish, so the floor stays flat after we leave.
What we handle here
Floors we work on in Bethany Beach
Hardwood Refinishing
Worn beach house floors sanded back and sealed for more summers. See refinishing a hardwood floor.
UV Coatings
A finish cured hard before we leave, so the house is back in use the same day. See UV coatings.

Why Bethany calls us
Why Bethany Beach owners call Best Choice
Mike Reed has run Best Choice Flooring since 1999 and is on every job. If you are not at the house, you still deal with one person from the first look to the last coat.
He will not sell you a new floor you do not need. If the old one has another sand in it, that is what you get quoted.
Where you will find us around Bethany Beach
Route 1 brings us in from the north, then it is Garfield Parkway into town and the streets on both sides of it, from the oceanfront blocks back to the canal.
We also cover South Bethany and the homes out along Route 26 toward Ocean View, the same run down from Lewes.
Where we work
Laying and finishing floors across Bethany Beach
We cover Bethany Beach and South Bethany. North over the inlet is flooring in Dewey Beach, and south past Fenwick Island is Ocean City, MD.

Straight answers about your flooring questions
Do you come down to Bethany Beach?
Yes. It is a straight run down Route 1 from our Lewes location. Call (302) 232-7524 and tell Mike about the floor.
Can you work on our Bethany Beach house while we are away?
Yes. We agree the scope and the access up front, and Mike keeps you posted while the work is done.
Is the old floor in our Bethany Beach house worth saving?
Often. Gray, worn finish is on the surface. Mike checks how much wood is left and tells you straight if it will sand.
What is best for the lower level?
Waterproof vinyl plank, in most houses. It takes wet feet and damp better than wood, and it goes down over a leveled subfloor so it stays solid.
How fast can I use the floor again?
With a UV coat, the same day. A normal finish needs a few days of drying between coats, and you get the dates before we start.
How do I get a price in Bethany Beach?
Call (302) 232-7524 with the rooms and what is down now. Mike looks at the floor and you get the scope in writing first.
