Flooring Contractor — Westover Hills Historic Neighborhood (1920s–1930s Homes)
Prime Epoxy Flooring serves Westover Hills — the historic planned neighborhood originally designed in the 1920s, near Greenville and Wilmington. We specialize in hardwood floor refinishing and restoration for the area’s iconic Tudor Revival, Colonial Revival, and English Cottage homes, plus custom hardwood installation, premium tile, stair restoration, and epoxy garage coatings. Family-owned, fully licensed and insured, with a lifetime warranty on epoxy and free in-home estimates.
Westover Hills isn’t a typical neighborhood — its 1920s planned design and Tudor & Colonial Revival architecture demand flooring expertise most contractors don’t have. We do.
Westover Hills was conceived in the 1920s as one of Delaware’s first thoughtfully planned residential neighborhoods, with stately Tudor Revival, Colonial Revival, English Cottage, and Storybook-style homes set along curved tree-lined streets. Nearly a century later, those homes still hold their original character — including original quarter-sawn oak, heart pine, and walnut hardwood floors that, with proper restoration, look better than anything you can buy new.
That’s our specialty. Prime Epoxy Flooring focuses on hardwood floor sanding and refinishing for Westover Hills homes — restoring original boards, matching repaired sections to vintage wood, and applying period-appropriate stain and finish that honors the architecture. We also handle custom hardwood installation for additions, premium tile for kitchens and primary baths, custom stair restoration, waterproof LVP for service spaces, and epoxy garage coatings with a lifetime warranty.
What makes us different in this neighborhood: we know how to work in homes that are nearly 100 years old. Original board subfloors, plaster-and-lath walls, narrow hallways, custom millwork, period-correct staining — we navigate all of it without damaging what makes Westover Hills special.

Get a Free Flooring EstimateWorking in nearly 100-year-old homes requires more than craftsmanship — it requires reverence for the architecture, sensitivity to the details, and the experience to know when to restore versus replace. Here’s how we approach every Westover Hills project.
Westover Hills hardwood is irreplaceable — quarter-sawn oak and old-growth heart pine that simply cannot be sourced new. Our refinishing process preserves these floors and brings them back to their original appearance, protecting both the home’s character and its market value.
Original board subfloors, plaster-and-lath ceiling impacts, gaps where boards have shrunk over a century — Westover Hills subfloors require diagnosis and repair that newer-build contractors aren’t trained for. We are.
A modern gloss polyurethane on a 1920s Tudor floor looks wrong instantly. We apply matte and satin finishes, traditional stain colors, and oil-based products where appropriate — keeping the look authentic to the era of the home.
Westover Hills homes are full of antiques, art, original woodwork and irreplaceable architectural details. Our modern dust-containment sanding system captures nearly all airborne dust at the source — protecting your home’s interior throughout the project.
When you add a sunroom, expand a kitchen, or open up a back wing in your Westover Hills home, the new flooring has to look like it’s always been there. We match species, plank width, grade and stain — using reclaimed wood where the original is no longer milled.
We’re based in Wilmington, just minutes from Westover Hills, and have worked in the neighborhood for over a decade. We know the architecture, the construction methods, the homeowner expectations — and the standard of craftsmanship Westover Hills demands.
Working in 1920s and 1930s homes requires a different approach. Our process is designed for the realities of historic Westover Hills properties — careful inspection, period-appropriate materials, and craftsmanship that respects the architecture.
We visit your Westover Hills home at no charge, inspect the existing original hardwood, evaluate subfloor condition (board subfloors, gaps, settling), and discuss restoration goals. You’ll receive a detailed itemized written estimate with no obligation.
For refinishing, we sample stains on your actual floor to find the exact period-appropriate color. For new installation, we source matched species, board widths, and grades — including reclaimed wood when needed for the most demanding historic match.
Original Westover Hills subfloors often need targeted repair before any work goes down — board replacement, leveling, addressing squeaks. We do this carefully, preserving as much original material as possible while ensuring a stable, lasting installation.
Whether refinishing original boards or installing new flooring, we use modern dust-containment systems to keep your Westover Hills home virtually dust-free throughout the project — protecting antiques, art, and original architectural details.
We walk every detail of the finished work with you. The job isn’t done until you’re fully satisfied. Every Westover Hills project is backed by our satisfaction guarantee, with epoxy garage coatings carrying a lifetime warranty.

Google Reviews — Prime Epoxy Flooring Westover Hills
“Our 1928 Tudor in Westover Hills has original quarter-sawn oak floors that hadn’t been touched in decades. The Prime Epoxy team treated them with the reverence they deserved — the result is genuinely stunning. They knew exactly which stain matched the period and the finish is perfect. Highly recommend for any historic home owner.”
“Added a sunroom to our Westover Hills Colonial Revival and needed hardwood that matched the original 1930s flooring. Prime Epoxy sourced narrow-strip white oak that’s an exact match — board width, grade, stain. Standing in the room, you cannot tell the addition from the original. That’s the kind of work this neighborhood demands.”
“Our English Cottage in Westover Hills had a beautiful original staircase that needed restoration — the treads were worn, several risers damaged. Prime Epoxy treated it like the heirloom it is. Carefully refinished, repaired, and resealed. The banister and millwork came through untouched. Worth every penny.”
“Coated the original carriage-house style garage at our Westover Hills home with epoxy. The concrete was decades old with cracks and stains. Prime Epoxy ground it down properly, repaired everything, and applied a finish that looks like new. The lifetime warranty made it an easy choice. Truly a top-tier outfit.”
“Our 1932 Westover Hills home has heart pine floors throughout the first floor — irreplaceable old-growth wood. Prime Epoxy refinished the entire downstairs with a satin finish that brought out the natural color beautifully. The dust-control system meant we could stay in the house through most of the project. Exceptional workmanship.”
“Renovated the kitchen in our Westover Hills home and chose limestone tile that complements the home’s 1929 character. Prime Epoxy handled the layout in our irregular kitchen flawlessly — every cut clean, every grout line perfect. They also matched their hardwood seam to the dining room original floor seamlessly.”
“Refinished hardwood across the entire main and second floor of our Westover Hills home — over 3,000 square feet of original 1925 oak. Prime Epoxy planned the project meticulously, kept dust to a minimum, and delivered a finish that’s better than any new home flooring. Communication was excellent throughout. We’d hire them again without hesitation.”
“Two projects at our Westover Hills home — waterproof LVP in the mudroom and laundry, and epoxy on the original basement floor that had old moisture issues. Prime Epoxy diagnosed the moisture problem first, addressed it properly, then completed both projects ahead of schedule. Highly knowledgeable team, excellent results.”

Answers to the questions Westover Hills homeowners ask us most often — covering historic hardwood restoration, period-correct materials, original 1920s subfloors, and what makes flooring work in this neighborhood different.
Yes — this is our specialty in Westover Hills. The neighborhood’s 1920s and 1930s homes typically have original quarter-sawn oak, heart pine, or walnut hardwood that’s far superior to anything you can buy new. We assess existing wood thickness, board condition, and previous refinishing before quoting. Most original Westover Hills floors can be sanded, stained and resealed beautifully — preserving both the historic character and the home’s market value.
Original board subfloors in Westover Hills homes are typically diagonal-laid 1×8 pine boards installed in the 1920s. After 100 years they may have shrunk, settled, squeaked, or had spots damaged by previous renovations. Our team inspects the entire subfloor before any new work, then carefully repairs it — replacing damaged boards individually where possible, leveling sagged areas, and addressing squeaks before installing or refinishing.
Yes — and this is one of the most common requests we get in Westover Hills for sunroom additions, kitchen expansions, and back-wing renovations. We match species (typically quarter-sawn white oak, heart pine, or red oak), board width, plank grade, and stain. For genuine 1920s-era pine that is no longer commercially milled, we source reclaimed wood. Done properly, the new section is invisible to anyone but the most expert eye.
We use modern dust-containment sanding systems that capture nearly all airborne dust at the source — a critical upgrade over old-style sanding for occupied Westover Hills homes filled with antiques, original woodwork, art, and architectural details. While no system is technically 100% dust-free, our process keeps homes virtually clean throughout the project. Most clients can stay in residence with minimal disruption.
For period-appropriate restoration in Westover Hills, we typically recommend matte or satin finishes (never high-gloss, which looks anachronistic on a 1920s floor) with traditional stain colors — natural, golden oak, medium walnut, or jacobean depending on the home’s existing palette. Oil-based finishes still have their place in true historic restoration, although high-quality water-based options now achieve very similar appearance with faster cure times. We’ll sample on your actual floor before committing.
Yes — Westover Hills is full of original detached carriage-house style garages and 1920s basement floors that respond beautifully to epoxy. We grind the existing concrete, address cracks and moisture issues, then apply commercial-grade epoxy with a lifetime warranty. The result is a clean, durable, easy-to-clean floor that respects the original structure while bringing it firmly into modern usability.
For a typical Westover Hills home with 2,500–4,000 square feet of original hardwood across the first and second floors plus stairs, expect 5 to 10 working days from start to finish — including subfloor repair, sanding, staining, and three coats of finish. Larger estate homes or projects involving extensive subfloor work may take longer. We provide a clear day-by-day timeline before any work begins so you can plan accordingly.
Yes — completely free, no-obligation in-home estimates throughout Westover Hills. We inspect existing floors, evaluate subfloor conditions, sample stain colors directly on your floor when refinishing, discuss your goals, and provide a detailed itemized quote. Call (302) 600-2835 or schedule online — most appointments are available within a few days.
