Rehoboth Beach flooring
Yes, we work in Rehoboth Beach
From our Lewes location Rehoboth is a short run south, close enough that Mike can look at a floor in the morning and have the crew there that week. It is the same owner and the same preparation as every other job.
Most calls from Rehoboth are about timing. The house is a rental or a second home, the season is coming, and the floor has to be done and hard before the next family walks in.
What a Rehoboth floor is actually up against
Sand. A rental can see a new group every week from June to Labor Day, and every pair of feet brings grit in from the beach. Grit acts like sandpaper on a soft finish, and the wear shows first on the path from the door to the kitchen.
Then there is the air. A few blocks from the ocean it stays humid for months, and wood swells and shrinks with it. A floor finished without allowing for that opens gaps in January and cups by August. We check the moisture before we sand, and pick a finish that can take the traffic.
What we handle here
Floors we work on in Rehoboth Beach
UV Coatings
Cured under a lamp instead of left to dry, so a rental is ready for the next guests the same day. See UV coated floors.
Hardwood Refinishing
Worn boards sanded back, stained and sealed so the floor looks new again. See refinishing worn hardwood.
Vinyl Plank and Laminate
Waterproof plank that takes wet towels and sandy feet. See vinyl plank for rentals.
Floor Repair
Boards ruined by a leak or an outdoor shower, cut out and rebuilt so the patch does not show. See floor and leak repair.
Why Rehoboth calls us
Why Rehoboth Beach owners call Best Choice
Mike Reed has installed and finished floors since 1993 and has run Best Choice Flooring since 1999. He prices the job himself and is on site while it is done.
If you own the place but do not live in it, that matters. You get one name and one number, and the floor is done the way it was quoted.
Where you will find us around Rehoboth Beach
Route 1 brings us in past the outlets, then it is Rehoboth Avenue into town and the side streets either side of it, from the blocks near the boardwalk to the homes around Lake Gerar and Silver Lake.
We also cover the neighborhoods west of Route 1, out along Route 24 and back up toward Lewes, which are as much a part of the Rehoboth area as anything on the beach.
Where we work
Laying and finishing floors across Rehoboth Beach
We cover Rehoboth Beach and the neighborhoods on both sides of Route 1. Back north is the Lewes shop, just south is flooring in Dewey Beach, and further down the coast Bethany Beach.

Straight answers about your flooring questions
Do you work in Rehoboth Beach?
Yes, every week. It is a short run down Route 1 from our Lewes location. Call (302) 232-7524 and tell Mike about the floor.
Can you refinish a rental between bookings?
Often, yes. With a UV coat the finish is cured before we leave, so the floor is ready the same day. Tell Mike your dates and he will tell you what fits.
What floor is best for a Rehoboth Beach rental?
For most rentals, either hardwood with a hard UV finish or a good vinyl plank. Both take sand and wet feet far better than a soft finish.
I do not live in Rehoboth Beach full time. Do I need to be there?
Not for the whole job. We agree the scope and the access up front, and Mike keeps you posted while the work is done.
Can you fix boards a leak has ruined?
Yes. We cut out the bad section, weave new boards in and finish the room so the repair does not show. Finding the leak comes first.
How do I get a price in Rehoboth Beach?
Call (302) 232-7524 with the rooms and what is down now. Mike looks at the floor himself and you get the scope in writing before anything is booked.
