Dewey Beach flooring
Yes, we work in Dewey Beach
Dewey Beach is down Route 1 from Best Choice Flooring of Dover, just past Rehoboth. The crew and the process are the same as anywhere else we work.
What is different here is the calendar. Most floors in Dewey belong to rentals, so the work has to fit between bookings and the finish has to stand up to a full season.
What a Dewey Beach floor is actually up against
Water on both sides. With the ocean a block one way and the bay a block the other, the air is damp most of the year, and floors here move more than they do inland. A floor needs the right gap and the right finish to cope with that.
Then there is the wear. A week of beach traffic in a rental is worth a year in most homes, so a soft finish dulls fast. A hard UV coat or a good vinyl plank lasts far longer.
What we handle here
Floors we work on in Dewey Beach
UV Coatings
Hardwood or vinyl plank cured under a lamp, hard the same day, so the next guests walk straight in. See UV cured finishes.
Vinyl Plank and Laminate
Waterproof plank for rentals that take wet suits and sandy feet. See vinyl plank in rentals.
Hardwood Refinishing
Tired boards sanded back and sealed so the place looks cared for again. See refinishing tired hardwood.
Floor and Subfloor Repair
Soft spots from a leak or an outdoor shower opened up and rebuilt from the subfloor. See subfloor repair.
Why Dewey calls us
Why Dewey Beach owners call Best Choice
Mike Reed has been installing and finishing floors since 1993 and opened Best Choice Flooring in 1999. He quotes the job himself and is on site while it is done.
For a rental owner that means one person to deal with, a date you can plan bookings around, and a floor finished the way it was quoted.
Where you will find us around Dewey Beach
Route 1 runs right through the middle of Dewey, with the ocean blocks on the east side and the bay blocks on the west. Most of the work is in the rental homes and condos along those short side streets.
South of town Route 1 runs past Delaware Seashore State Park toward the Indian River Inlet, and that is the road we take on to the quieter beaches further down.
Where we work
Laying and finishing floors across Dewey Beach
We cover all of Dewey Beach, ocean side and bay side. A couple of minutes north is flooring in Rehoboth Beach, with Lewes beyond it, and south over the inlet is flooring in Bethany Beach.
Ask the man doing the work
Straight answers about your flooring questions
Do you work in Dewey Beach?
Yes. Dewey Beach is one of the beach towns we cover, just past Rehoboth on Route 1. Call (302) 480-9637.
Can the floor be done between rentals?
Often, yes. A UV coat is cured before we leave, so the floor is ready the same day. Tell Mike your booking dates when you call.
Hardwood or vinyl plank for a Dewey Beach rental?
Both work. Hardwood with a hard UV finish looks better and can be sanded again later. Vinyl plank is waterproof and the easiest to live with in a busy rental.
Can you put a new wear layer on old vinyl plank?
If the planks are sound and flat, a UV coat gives them a new wear surface. If they are lifting, no coating will hold them, and Mike will say so.
Do I need to be at the property?
No. We agree the scope and the access up front and Mike keeps you posted while the work is done in Dewey Beach.
How do I get a price in Dewey Beach?
Call (302) 480-9637 with the rooms and what is down now. Mike comes and looks at the floor himself and you get the scope in writing first.
