Marietta Countertops serves Woodstock homeowners in Cherokee County, from downtown homes near the old depot to the many newer subdivisions built since 2000. We help families find counters that look good and stand up to daily life.
Woodstock is a city in Cherokee County and part of the Atlanta metro. It began as a stop on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad and was made a town in 1897. The name comes from Woodstock, an 1826 novel by Walter Scott.
The railroad built the Woodstock Depot in 1912. Trains carried cotton, rope, farm goods, and passengers until passenger service ended in 1949. For most of the 1900s the town stayed small. It had just 870 people in 1970.
Then growth came fast. Woodstock had 10,050 people in 2000 and 23,896 in 2010, and in 2007 it was named the tenth fastest-growing suburb in the country. The 2020 census counted 35,065 people. The city’s Greenprints plan calls for more than 60 miles of trails, including routes along Noonday Creek and the Little River. Facts in this section come from Wikipedia.
Because so much of Woodstock was built after 2000, many kitchens here are 10 to 25 years old. The cabinets are usually in good shape. The counters are often builder-grade granite or laminate. That makes Woodstock a good fit for a top-only upgrade. You keep the cabinets, add new stone, and get a fresh look for less than a full remodel.
If you are doing this, choose the new material first, then the backsplash. The old backsplash often comes off with the old top. You can learn more about how long granite lasts if you are deciding whether yours still has years left.
Many Woodstock homes have kids, pets, and a lot of traffic in the kitchen. Quartz shrugs off most stains from juice and markers. Rounded edges are kinder to small heads than sharp square ones. For a homework spot or bar area, porcelain is thin, hard, and resists scratches and heat.
Families who cook outside also ask about outdoor countertops for a grill area on the back deck or patio.
Not every home in Woodstock is new. The houses near downtown and the old depot are much older, and some have been added onto more than once. Additions often mean floors at slightly different heights and walls that do not line up. A counter that crosses from the old part of the house into the new part needs careful measuring.
These older kitchens are often smaller, too. In a small kitchen, a light surface and a simple edge keep the room from feeling crowded. Thin profiles, like a slim porcelain slab, can also make the space feel lighter.
Whether your home is old or new, have the cabinets checked before the stone goes on. Level, solid boxes are the base for a counter that lasts. If a cabinet is damaged, it is far easier to fix before the top is set than after.
Sometimes. An undermount sink is glued to the old top and may break on removal. A drop-in sink is easier to reuse, but most people upgrade the sink at the same time.
An eased or bullnose edge has rounded corners. It is less likely to chip and gentler if someone bumps into it.
Most stone tops can be used for light tasks the next day. Wait for the plumber to hook up the sink before running water.
Yes. We serve homes with a Woodstock address across the area, inside and outside the city limits.
Usually the new counter, sink cut-out, and edge. A new sink, faucet, and backsplash are often added at the same time.
