Marydel flooring
Yes, we work in Marydel
Marydel is about twenty minutes west of Dover itself on Route 8, out through the farmland. It is small, it is quiet, and the state line runs through it, which is a curiosity for everything except a floor.
The work here is older houses and working buildings: original wood worth saving, outbuildings and shops with concrete that has never had anything on it.
What a Marydel floor is actually up against
Farm country is hard on floors. Mud, grit and water come in through a back door every day of the year, and grit is the thing that actually wears a finish out: it acts like sandpaper underfoot until the coating is gone and the wood starts taking the damage instead.
Underneath it is the same story as the rest of Kent County. Flat ground, a high water table, damp crawl spaces and joists that have been breathing that for a century.
What we handle here
Floors we work on in Marydel
Hardwood Refinishing
Original boards sanded back, stained and sealed with a finish built for real traffic rather than a showroom. See hardwood refinishing.
Floor and Subfloor Repair
Soft spots by the back door, rotten boards and joists that have taken decades of damp, opened up and made good. See floor and subfloor repair.
Vinyl Plank and Tile
Waterproof plank and tile where mud and water come in, over a subfloor that has been leveled first. See vinyl plank and laminate.
Shop and Outbuilding Floors
Coated concrete for shops, barns and garages, so the floor stops dusting and starts cleaning up. See epoxy floor coatings.
Why Marydel calls us
Why Marydel homeowners call Best Choice
Out here a contractor's name travels further than any advertising, and Mike Reed has been working in Kent County since 1999. He is on every job and the work is guaranteed.
Small jobs are welcome. A single room, a back hallway, a set of stairs. Twenty minutes from Dover is not a special journey, so nothing has to be a whole house to be worth doing.
Where you will find us around Marydel
Route 8 west out of Dover is the road, and the work sits along it and on the farm lanes either side, right up to the state line that splits the village.
We work both sides of that line. A floor in the Maryland half of Marydel is the same drive and the same job as one in the Delaware half.
Where we work

Straight answers about your flooring questions
Do you come out to Marydel?
Yes, it is about twenty minutes west of Dover on Route 8. Call (302) 480-9637 and Mike will arrange a time.
Do you work on the Maryland side?
Yes. The state line runs through the village and it makes no difference to the drive or the job.
Is one room worth calling about?
Absolutely. A hallway, a set of stairs or a single bedroom is normal work for us and we are close by.
The floor by the back door is soft. What is that?
Water getting in over a long time, usually into the subfloor rather than the boards. We open it up, see what has gone and rebuild it. Tell us where in Marydel you are and we will fit it in.
Can you coat a barn or shop floor?
Yes. A coated slab stops the dust, keeps oil and chemicals out of the concrete and cleans with a mop. We cover all of Marydel.
How do I get a price?
Call (302) 480-9637 with the rooms and what is down now, and Mike will come and look at it himself. That is the same in Marydel as anywhere else we work.
