Roofing and chimney work in Franklin
Franklin is one of the largest municipalities in Somerset County by land area and one of its most varied. The northeastern part of the township, near New Brunswick and along Easton Avenue and Hamilton Street, is built up with mid-century capes, ranches and split-levels on modest lots, along with garden apartments. Farther south and west, development from the 1980s through the 2000s brought larger colonials, townhouses and age-restricted communities, while the Millstone River and the Delaware and Raritan Canal along the western edge are lined with historic villages such as Griggstown and Kingston and with preserved open space. Industrial and warehouse parks sit near I-287.

Housing in Franklin
Franklin's housing covers many eras. Mid-century capes, ranches and split-levels fill the older neighborhoods in the northeast near New Brunswick, along with garden apartment complexes. The 1980s through 2000s brought larger single-family developments, townhouse communities and age-restricted adult communities across the central and southern parts of the township. Historic villages along the Millstone River and the canal hold 1700s and 1800s homes and farmhouses. Industrial, warehouse and office buildings with large flat roofs are concentrated near the interstate.
Weather and exposure
Franklin is mostly low and gently rolling, with the Raritan River along its northern edge and the Millstone River and canal along the west. Open land in the central and southern parts of the township exposes roofs to wind, while the older neighborhoods have mature trees. Winters bring ice dams and freeze-thaw cycles, and summer thunderstorms bring heavy rain to large commercial roofs.
