Townsend flooring
Yes, we work in Townsend
Townsend is a straight run north on US 13 from the Dover shop we work from, and it has changed more in the last twenty years than almost anywhere else in Delaware. The old village is small. The housing around it is not.
That build out is what we see here: newer houses with big attached garages, plank floors laid on a builder's schedule, and a lot of bare concrete nobody has looked at since handover.
What a Townsend floor is actually up against
Garages here are big and they get used. A three car slab that takes a truck, a trailer, a workbench and a winter's worth of road brine is not a parking space, it is a work surface, and bare concrete is the worst possible one. It powders, it stains, and salt breaks the top of it apart over a few freeze and thaw cycles.
Inside, the issue is the subfloor again. New builds go up quickly and flatness is the thing that slips, so plank floors start sounding hollow and click joints work loose. Neither is the plank's fault.
What we handle here
Floors we work on in Townsend
Garage Floor Coatings
The big new garages out here are the job Townsend asks for most. Ground, filled, coated and topcoated, so it takes hot tires, salt and a dropped socket set. See garage floor coatings.
Vinyl Plank and Laminate
Waterproof plank through kitchens, hallways and basements, over a subfloor we level first so it does not go hollow. See vinyl plank and laminate.
Hardwood Installation
Real wood where it counts, laid and finished by the same crew so the color and the sheen are ours rather than a factory's. See new hardwood floors.
Basement and Shop Floors
Metallic, flake and quartz epoxy for basements, workshops and outbuildings, with the slab tested for moisture before a system is picked. See epoxy floor systems.
Why Townsend calls us
Why Townsend homeowners call Best Choice
Mike Reed is on every job, and in a corridor full of national installers and big box subcontractors that is the difference people notice. The man who measured your floor is the man standing in it while it goes down.
Best Choice Flooring has been working out of Dover since 1999, which is longer than most of the streets here have existed. The work is guaranteed, the crews are insured and the company is fully bonded.
Where you will find us around Townsend
US 13 and Route 71 are how we get in, with Route 299 taking us across to Middletown. Most Townsend work sits in the developments either side of those roads rather than in the old village itself.
Because Townsend, Odessa and Middletown run together, a trip up here usually covers more than one town, which keeps smaller jobs easy to schedule.
Where we work

Straight answers about your flooring questions
Do you come out to Townsend?
Regularly. It is a straight run up US 13 from Dover and we are in the MOT area most weeks. Call (302) 480-9637 and Mike will arrange a look.
Is a brand new garage slab worth coating?
It is the ideal time. The concrete is flat, clean and undamaged, so once it is ground open the coating gets the best possible start and salt never gets into it.
How long is a three car garage out of use?
Usually two days for the work, then a wait before vehicles go back on so the coating reaches full hardness. You get the real dates for your floor.
My plank floor is clicking. What is wrong?
Almost always an uneven subfloor under it. The floor comes up, the dips are leveled and it goes back down flat. Tell us where in Townsend you are and we will fit it in.
Can you do a whole new build at once?
Yes, and it is easier that way. Wood, vinyl, tile and the garage floor priced and scheduled together rather than four separate jobs. We cover all of Townsend.
How do I get a price?
Call (302) 480-9637 with the rooms and what is down now, and Mike will come out and look at it himself. That is the same in Townsend as anywhere else we work.
