Dewey Beach flooring
Yes, we work in Dewey Beach
Dewey is about twenty minutes down Route 1 from Best Choice Flooring in Lewes. Mike looks at the floor himself, and the same crew that works in Lewes does the job.
Most of what we do here is rentals and second homes. The floor takes a hard season, the owner wants it right before Memorial Day, and nobody wants to lose a booking over it.
What a Dewey floor is actually up against
Water on both sides. With the ocean on one side and the bay on the other, the air in Dewey is damp most of the year. Wood takes that moisture in, so boards that were tight in spring can be cupped by the end of summer.
Then add the traffic. Wet swimsuits, outdoor showers and sand come in all day in a full house. A floor here needs a finish that is hard and a material that can take water, and the right one depends on the room.

Why Dewey calls us
Why Dewey Beach owners call Best Choice
Mike Reed owns Best Choice Flooring and is on every job. He has been doing floors since 1993, and he will tell you straight which floor suits a beach rental and which does not.
That saves money. A floor picked for the room lasts years. One picked off a sample board at the store can be gone in two seasons.
Where you will find us around Dewey Beach
Route 1 runs right through the middle of town, so every street is a short turn off it, from the oceanside blocks to the homes facing the bay.
We also cover the homes just north toward Rehoboth and south toward the state park, the same trip down from Lewes.
Where we work
Laying and finishing floors across Dewey Beach
We cover all of Dewey Beach, oceanside and bayside. Just north is flooring in Rehoboth Beach, south over the inlet is Bethany Beach, and back up Route 1 is home in Lewes.

Straight answers about your flooring questions
Do you come out to Dewey Beach?
Yes. It is about twenty minutes down Route 1 from our Lewes location. Call (302) 232-7524 and tell Mike about the floor.
Will hardwood hold up in a Dewey Beach rental?
It can, with a hard finish and a good mat at every door. In bathrooms, laundry rooms and by an outdoor shower, waterproof vinyl plank is the safer pick.
Can my Dewey Beach floor be done before the season?
Usually, if you call early. Spring fills up fast at the beach, so tell Mike your dates and he will tell you what fits.
Why are my boards cupping?
Moisture. With water on both sides of town the air stays damp, and boards take it in at the edges. The moisture gets sorted first, then the floor is sanded flat.
Do you work on Dewey Beach condos?
Yes. We plan around the building rules on noise, hours and parking, and the sanders run on vacuums so the dust stays out of the hallway.
How do I get a price in Dewey Beach?
Call (302) 232-7524 with the rooms and what is down now. Mike comes out and the scope goes in writing before anything is booked.
