Get Your Free Estimate in Voorhees TownshipVoorhees is an established executive suburb, Main Street's town center, Sturbridge and Alluvium's wooded neighborhoods and top-rated schools, and that shapes every exterior project we take on here. The township grew fast between 1970 and 1990 on moderately wooded lots, which means large roof planes under real trees, cedar shake and first-generation asphalt roofs reaching replacement age together, and contemporaries and colonials whose original windows are fogging street by street. The work is about matching the quality of the neighborhood while replacing systems that were never expected to last this long.
Voorhees, Block by Block
Voorhees began as a set of villages around three railroad stations, Ashland, Osage and Kirkwood, and over the years six neighborhood communities took root: Ashland, Glendale, Kirkwood, Kresson, Osage and Gibbsboro, the last of which became its own borough. The township stayed small until the 1970s, then the population went from about 6,200 in 1970 to nearly 13,000 in 1980 as families moved out from the cities and the neighboring towns, and the 1980s added Sturbridge Lakes, Partridge Run and the other subdivisions of spacious homes on wooded lots. The old Echelon Mall became Voorhees Town Center, with the township offices and luxury condominiums on top of it, and the housing today runs from prewar cottages by the rail line to new luxury builds off Kresson Road.
Ashland, Kirkwood, Osage and the rail-line villages
Along White Horse Road and the rail line, around Kirkwood Lake and the old station stops, the villages hold the township's oldest houses: prewar and early postwar capes, bungalows and cottages with plank decking, original wood under later siding and window openings that are rarely square. These streets are shaded and settled, and the work is careful, matching the original exposure and trim so the house keeps its proportions, with the rot check on the damp side before anything is covered.
Sturbridge Lakes, Alluvium Lakes, Partridge Run and the Beagle Club
The 1970s and 1980s subdivisions are the Voorhees most people picture: colonials and contemporaries on wooded lots around the lakes, with the large, complicated roof planes of the era, cedar shake or first-generation architectural asphalt on many of them, skylights, and expansive window walls facing the trees. Those roofs are reaching replacement age together, the trees drop real debris, and the original windows have failed seals; most of our Voorhees work is here, replacing a whole system at once and matching the standard of the street.
Echelon, Main Street and the newer east side
Around the Town Center and Main Street the housing is townhomes, condos and apartments from the 1970s on, including the communities that grew up around the old mall, plus Centennial Mill's active-adult homes, and out toward Kresson Road and the Berlin line the newer luxury builds. On the townhomes and condos the work is a row or a building at a time, coordinated with the association; on the newer singles it is the first replacement of a builder-installed system, and the question is whether to match it or step up.
Roofing in Voorhees
Wooded lots shade large roof planes and drop real debris, and many 1980s and 1990s cedar and first-generation asphalt roofs have reached replacement age together. When a roof here comes due we replace it as a system: wind-rated architectural shingles from Owens Corning and CertainTeed, algae-resistant on the shaded lots, a high-wind nailing pattern, a sealed starter course at the eaves and rakes, ice and water shield past the code minimum at eaves, valleys, skylights and every wall intersection, and hip-and-ridge from the same system so the roof carries one warranty.
A cedar shake roof coming off is its own job: the skip sheathing underneath has to be covered with solid decking before an asphalt system can go on, and we price that honestly up front rather than discovering it on the day. On the contemporaries the valleys, skylights and low-slope sections are where the old roof leaked, and those get the most attention. On the village houses we expect plank decking and layered roofs, and we strip to the boards.
Siding in Voorhees
New siding is the fastest way to transform a Voorhees home, and with 1970s through 1990s colonials and contemporaries on wooded lots, plus newer luxury builds to work with, the design choices matter. We install CertainTeed vinyl and fiber cement lines over a proper weather barrier, in the clapboard and shake profiles the colonials were built with and the vertical and board profiles the contemporaries call for, with color-matched soffit, fascia and trim so the exterior reads as one job.
The value is in what you do not see: stripping the old cedar, aluminum or hollow-back vinyl rather than covering it, repairing sheathing rot at the corners, under the windows and on the shaded north wall where the trees keep it damp, and adding insulation board where the wall allows so the house is warmer and quieter afterward. On a contemporary with large window walls the flashing where siding meets glass is most of the job.
Window Replacement in Voorhees
Most windows here date to the original construction, which means failed seals, fogged panes and drafts are showing up street by street. We fix that with ProVia Aspect and Endure lines, custom-measured for each opening, ENERGY STAR certified, in the double-hung, casement, awning, bow and picture configurations the colonials and contemporaries were built around, with grille patterns chosen from the house rather than a catalog.
The 1980s wood and clad units in Sturbridge and Alluvium, fogged and rotting at the sills, and the large fixed and casement units on the contemporaries are the most common things we replace, and neither was flashed the way a window is flashed now. Each unit is measured individually, set into a cleaned and repaired opening, flashed and sealed, and the trim finished so nothing looks like a retrofit. A full house is often a day or two.
Entry Doors in Voorhees
The right entry door lifts the whole front of a house, and Voorhees Township's 1970s through 1990s colonials and contemporaries on wooded lots reward it. We install ProVia's Legacy steel, Ascent fiberglass and Signet fiberglass lines, the Signet with stained wood grain finishes for the colonials and executive homes where a wood look matters, each built to order in the panel layouts, glass patterns and sidelight configurations that suit the house.
We pay close attention to the threshold, the sweep, the weatherstripping and the storm door pairing, because that is where a door fails first, and on a shaded entry we make sure the sill sheds water. A same-size replacement into the existing opening is usually a single day; when a frame has settled we tell you before the door is ordered.

Permits and Inspections
Roofing, siding and window replacement in Voorhees go through the township construction office at 2400 Voorhees Town Center, which administers the state Uniform Construction Code when a permit is required. The application is the state permit jacket with the building subcode form and two sets of plans, with large drawings also submitted digitally, and the office keeps a Monday-through-Thursday schedule, so we file early and build the review into the job rather than letting it hold up the start.
Most of what we do here is permitted and inspected, and we build the inspection into the schedule so the deck and underlayment are seen before the shingles go on. On a townhome or condo the association usually has its own approval for colors and profiles, and we handle that submission alongside the township permit. We pull the permits, pay the fee, coordinate the inspections and close the job out as part of the work rather than as your homework.
Voorhees Questions We Hear
We have a cedar shake roof from the 1980s. Can you replace it with asphalt?
Yes, and it is one of the most common jobs we do here. The skip sheathing under the shakes has to be covered with solid decking first, then the new system goes on. We price the decking honestly up front rather than discovering it on the day.
Our contemporary has skylights and a flat section that always leaked. Can you fix that for good?
Yes. The skylights get new flashing kits and ice and water shield around them, and the low-slope section gets a proper membrane rather than shingles laid where they will fail. Those two details are where most of these roofs went wrong.
Our north side stays damp under the trees. Is that a problem?
It is where rot starts. Moss and algae hold moisture against the shingle, and the siding and sills on that wall stay wet. Algae-resistant shingles, proper ventilation, clear gutters and a real rot check before siding are the fixes.
Our 1980s wood windows are fogged and soft at the sills. Worth replacing?
Yes. Fogging means the seals are gone, and soft sills mean water has been getting in for years. Custom-measured ENERGY STAR units set into repaired openings change both the comfort and the look of the house.
We live in a townhome near the Town Center. Do you work with associations?
Yes. We quote the row or the building, match the approved colors and profiles, handle the association submission alongside the township permit and schedule the work so the whole run is finished at once.
Can you match the standard of the neighborhood?
Yes. Profiles, colors, trim and the way the job is finished are chosen from the house and the street, and the crews are used to working on homes where the neighbors will notice.
Do you handle the township permits?
Yes, the state permit jacket, the plans, the fee, the inspection scheduling and the close-out through the construction office at the Town Center. It is part of the job, not your homework.
How long does a typical Voorhees job take?
A colonial roof is usually a day or two once materials are on site, a cedar tear-off with new decking runs longer, siding depends on trim and repair, and a full window replacement is often a day or two. We give you a schedule at the estimate and hold to it.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. Ask about financing at the estimate and we will walk you through the options before you commit to anything.
