Middletown flooring
Yes, we work in Middletown
Middletown is about half an hour north of our Dover flooring company and the busiest part of our map outside Dover itself. It has grown enormously, and the housing runs from a genuinely old town center to subdivisions finished last year.
Both ends give us work. Older houses off Main Street have real wood waiting under the carpet. The new ones have builder floors and bare garages, and big ones at that.
What a Middletown floor is actually up against
Volume, mostly. A town that grows this fast gets floors installed on a schedule, and the corners that get cut are always underneath: subfloors not checked for flat, wood not given time to settle to the house, slabs handed over bare. None of it shows on handover day and all of it shows by year three.
Add the local conditions. The water table is high across this part of the state and the ground is flat, so damp comes up rather than draining away, and a winter of road salt off 301 and 299 goes straight into open garage concrete.
What we handle here
Floors we work on in Middletown
Hardwood Refinishing
The older streets around the town center are full of floors worth saving. Sanded back, stained to your color and sealed, usually for a fraction of replacement. See refinishing.
Epoxy and Metallic Floors
Metallic, flake and quartz systems for garages, basements and shops, ground into the slab with the moisture tested first. See resin floors.
Concrete Overlays
For showrooms, basements and open plan spaces where a tired slab needs a clean new wear surface rather than tearing anything out. See concrete overlays.
Commercial Floors
Offices, salons, halls, warehouses and back of house along the 301 corridor, sectioned and scheduled around your opening hours. See commercial flooring.
Why Middletown calls us
Why Middletown homeowners call Best Choice
Mike Reed owns Best Choice Flooring and prices every job himself. In a town where most flooring is sold by a store and installed by whoever the store called that week, dealing with the man who does the work is not a small thing.
He also does both trades. Wood and concrete are usually two different companies, which is how a house ends up with three contractors arguing about the transition between the kitchen and the garage. Here it is one crew and one number to call.
Where you will find us around Middletown
Route 299 runs through the middle of it and US 301 carries most of the traffic around it, and our work sits on both sides. The old center near Main Street, the subdivisions spreading west and south, and the business strips along 301.
Middletown, Odessa and Townsend are effectively one area to work in, so a job here often gets paired with one up the road, which makes scheduling a single room straightforward.
Where we work

Straight answers about your flooring questions
Do you come out to Middletown?
Every week. It is about half an hour north of Dover and one of our busiest areas. Call (302) 480-9637 and Mike will arrange a look at your floor.
Can you do wood and concrete on the same job?
Yes, and that is the point of using us. Hardwood in the living space, vinyl in the wet rooms and a coated garage floor, all priced and scheduled together.
My house is new. Why is the floor already moving?
Usually because the subfloor was never leveled or the wood was laid before it had settled to the house. Both are fixable, and both need the floor up to sort properly.
Do you work on commercial units along 301?
Yes. Offices, salons, clinics, halls and warehouses, worked around your hours so you stay open. Tell us where in Middletown you are and we will fit it in.
Is epoxy an option for a basement?
Often, if the slab is sound and the moisture test comes back right. It is hard wearing, seals the concrete and mops clean. Mike will tell you whether yours will take it. We cover all of Middletown.
How do I get a price?
Call (302) 480-9637 with the rooms and what is down now. Mike comes out, looks at it and puts the scope in writing. That is the same in Middletown as anywhere else we work.
