Countertops for a Voorhees kitchen from the 1980s
Voorhees countertops nearly always replace a top from the 1980s. The township quadrupled between 1970 and 1990, and the neighborhoods from that run are what people are remodeling now: the colonials of Sturbridge, Alluvium, Lost Tree and the Beagle Club off Kresson Road, Evesham Road and Burnt Mill Road, the Main Street Voorhees townhouses, and the condos and apartments around Echelon. The older sections, Kirkwood, Ashland and Glendale along Haddonfield-Berlin Road and White Horse Road, are 1950s and 1960s ranches and splits that have been through one remodel already, and Centennial Mill added the 55 and over homes of the 2000s. A 1986 Sturbridge kitchen has oak cabinets, a tile top, a peninsula and a wall to the family room, and the common Voorhees project takes that wall down, turns the peninsula into an island, and puts a stone top on new or kept cabinets with a slab backsplash to replace the tile.
Voorhees homeowners and the contractors and designers remodeling here come to us to match stone to the house they have. An Alluvium colonial has the room for a real island; an Echelon condo wants a straight run that goes in without fuss; a Kirkwood ranch wants a lighter stone that keeps a compact kitchen open. Our countertop fabrication and installation page lays out each step from template to finished counter.
Granite, quartz, marble and quartzite
Which stone for a Voorhees kitchen
Granite countertops in Voorhees
A Voorhees kitchen that cooks seven nights a week is granite territory. The stained cabinets of a 1980s colonial take a warm brown or grey granite with movement, and a honed black freshens the room without a full gut. It is quarried stone, very hard, and takes hot pans, homework and a dropped jar without a mark. Granite is porous and takes a sealer, renewed once a year or so when water stops beading. On an L shaped run the single seam goes at the corner, laid out so the pattern carries across.
Quartz countertops in Voorhees
Quartz is what most Voorhees remodels with new white or grey cabinets choose, and it is the right call for an Echelon condo. It is an engineered stone, so there is no sealing, spills wipe up clean, and the color matches from piece to piece. The lighter colors make a 1980s kitchen feel bigger, and the long slabs mean a new island or a condo run comes in one piece. Hot pots go on a trivet.
Marble countertops in Voorhees
Voorhees sees marble mostly in the bath, where a honed Carrara vanity top with a matching shower threshold and seat makes a 1980s builder bath look custom and only ever meets soap and water. On an island it is beautiful but soft, etching under lemon or vinegar, so it wants a careful cook. For a busy Sturbridge or Alluvium kitchen we suggest a white quartzite for the same look with the hardness of granite.
Quartzite countertops in Voorhees
For a Voorhees owner who is staying put and wants the marble look without the upkeep, quartzite puts the veined white look on a natural stone harder than granite. Where marble would etch and scratch, quartzite holds; the slabs are long enough for a seamless island, and it is sealed as granite is. The price sits above most granite, which is why the usual plan is a quartzite island and a quieter stone elsewhere.
What we do
Our services in Voorhees
It is not just countertops. A Voorhees remodel often takes in a new fireplace facade for the family room, a slab backsplash in place of 1980s tile, vanity tops, and shower seats and thresholds for the primary bath, all from one showroom in granite, quartz, marble or quartzite.
Voorhees
From peninsula to island
The signature Voorhees project is a 1980s kitchen whose peninsula comes out for an island once the wall to the family room is down. That is a layout job before it is a fabrication job: the island wants a slab big enough to avoid a seam, the perimeter runs use the rest of the slab, and a slab backsplash in the same stone replaces the tile with no grout lines. We plan the layout on the slab with you before anything is cut, show you where any seam falls, and template to the real walls so the top sits tight.

Good to know
Voorhees questions
How long does a Voorhees countertop replacement take?
The sequence is template after the cabinets are set, fabrication, then the day the stone goes in. Timing depends on the stone and the size of the kitchen, so we give you a real schedule after the template visit. The day the stone goes in, you can use the kitchen that evening.
Does quartz need sealing?
No. Quartz is non-porous, so it never needs sealing, which is why so many Voorhees families pick it for a busy kitchen. Granite, marble and quartzite are natural and take a seal that gets refreshed over time. We show you how to check it.
Can you replace the top in my Sturbridge kitchen and keep the oak cabinets?
Yes, if the cabinets are sound. Your cabinets stay, the new top is templated to them, and the old one comes out the morning the stone goes in. A warm granite or a soft quartz sits well with oak, and a slab backsplash finishes it.
Do you work in the Echelon condos?
Yes. A condo kitchen is usually one straight run and a bar, which often comes in a single piece of quartz. We plan the template and delivery around the building's hours and access rules.
Can a 1980s Voorhees kitchen get an island where the peninsula was?
Usually, yes, once the wall to the family room is down. The template visit settles the layout, and the island stone is usually a single piece. Where the room is narrow, a new peninsula in stone does the same job.
Do you do bathrooms as well as kitchens in Voorhees?
Yes. In Voorhees we regularly do vanity tops, shower seats, thresholds and fireplace stone alongside the kitchen, so the finishes match through the house.
