General Contractor in Marlton and Evesham Township, NJ
Remodeling and exterior work across Marlton and the rest of Evesham Township.
Serving Marlton and all of Evesham Township
Marlton is the best-known community in Evesham Township, and most people use the two names interchangeably. Evesham was first settled by Quakers in 1672. Marlton itself was founded by Welsh and English farmers from 1676, and the marl found in the local soil helped set off its first building boom in the 1830s and 1840s. The historic village, Olde Marlton, is still largely intact and is a locally regulated historic district.
The township as a whole has about 46,800 residents. Its housing is mostly newer than the old village: Census estimates put Evesham's median home at 1986, while the Marlton census area around the village center averages older, around 1973. About one in five homes in the township is a townhouse. Big Cat General Contractor works throughout Evesham, including Marlton, Cropwell, Evesboro, Pine Grove and the neighborhoods off Route 70, Route 73 and Marlton Parkway.

Opening up a Marlton kitchen
In Evesham's 1980s and 1990s neighborhoods, kitchen work often means new cabinets and counters and, sometimes, removing the wall between the kitchen and the family room. Before a wall comes out, we confirm whether it carries load and what plumbing, wiring or ductwork runs through it. If a beam is needed, the beam, the Evesham Township permit and the inspections are listed in the written estimate. See our kitchen remodeling page for the rest of the process.
Bathrooms in Evesham homes
Hall and primary baths from this period commonly move from a tub-shower combo to a tiled walk-in shower with a new vanity and a quieter, properly vented fan. Bathroom remodels that move plumbing need a permit, which we file.
Exterior work in and around Olde Marlton
In the historic village, changes to siding, windows, trim and roofing can require historic review before a permit is issued. We help gather the product details the township asks for and suggest materials that suit an older house, such as painted wood or fiber-cement trim. Elsewhere in Evesham, roofing and siding work follows your association's rules on style and color.
Local considerations in Evesham Township
- Permits come from Evesham, not "Marlton." Marlton is a census-designated place, not a separate municipality, so building permits for Marlton addresses go through Evesham Township's construction office under New Jersey's Uniform Construction Code.
- Olde Marlton. Because the old village is a locally regulated historic district, exterior changes to buildings there may need historic review before a permit is issued. Ask the township early if your home is in the district.
- Associations and townhouses. Many Evesham developments have associations that approve exterior changes. Townhouse remodels also have to keep fire-rated separations between units intact.
- Housing age. About a third of Evesham's homes were built before 1980, and most of the rest went up in the 1980s and 1990s. That puts many houses at the point where roofs, decks, kitchens and baths are being replaced for the first time. Homes built before 1978 fall under federal lead-safe rules when painted surfaces are disturbed.
- Pinelands and weather. Part of Evesham lies within the state-designated Pinelands Area, where some development is subject to Pinelands Commission rules in addition to local zoning. We confirm what applies to your address. As everywhere in South Jersey, freeze-thaw cycles, nor'easters and summer humidity drive most roof, gutter and basement moisture problems.
Questions from Marlton homeowners
Is Marlton its own town for permits?
No. Marlton is part of Evesham Township, so permits and inspections go through Evesham's construction office. We handle the applications.
Do you work in Olde Marlton's historic district?
Yes. We plan exterior work so it can pass any required historic review, and we recommend checking with the township before choosing materials.
Can you remodel a townhouse kitchen or bath?
Yes. We remodel townhouse interiors and coordinate with your association for any exterior work or deliveries that need approval.
Do you serve the rest of Evesham Township?
Yes, including Cropwell, Evesboro, Pine Grove and the areas toward Medford and Voorhees.
How long does a typical kitchen remodel take in a Marlton home?
Plan on several weeks of on-site work for a full remodel, plus lead time for cabinets and counters. Layout changes and permits add time. We give you a written schedule with the estimate and keep you updated as work moves along.
Can you remove a wall to open up my Marlton kitchen?
Often, yes. We first confirm whether the wall is load-bearing and what is inside it. If a beam is needed, it is sized properly and permitted through Evesham Township, and those steps are listed in the estimate.
Do you replace roofs on Marlton townhouses?
Yes. On attached homes we plan the tie-in to the neighboring roofs and check your association's rules on shingle style and color before ordering.
