Smyrna, Delaware · Licensed · Est. 1998
Flooring, remodels & residential builds — done right.
From hardwood and tile to bathroom remodels and ground-up construction, Aquarius has served Kent and New Castle Counties for -28 years — one family-operated crew, every craft under one roof.
What we do
Three crafts. One crew.
About 70% of what we do is flooring — hardwood, LVP, tile, carpet, and the subfloor work nobody else wants to touch. The rest is bathroom remodels, basement build-outs, kitchens, and the occasional addition.

Stanton and his crew refinished our hardwood and you'd think they were brand new. Honest quote, showed up when they said, cleaned up every day.

We had a primary bath redone end-to-end. They handled every trade and the finish work is exactly what we wanted. Easy to recommend.

Got three quotes for finishing our basement. Aquarius wasn't the cheapest, but the detail in the proposal told us they knew what they were doing. Glad we picked them.
