Roofing and chimney work in Franklin
Franklin Township is a quiet farming township in the middle of Hunterdon County, west of Flemington and south of Clinton. It has no large subdivisions or commercial center; instead, homes are strung along country roads between fields, with the old village of Quakertown and the valley of the Capoolong Creek among its few clusters. A drive through the township passes 19th-century farmhouses with barns, mid-century ranches and split-levels on roadside lots carved from farms, and newer homes set back on larger parcels.

Housing in Franklin
Franklin's homes fall into three broad groups: 19th-century farmhouses with steep roofs, brick chimneys and outbuildings; ranches, split-levels and capes from the mid-20th century on frontage lots along the township roads; and homes from the 1980s onward on larger lots. Asphalt shingle is standard on houses, with metal common on barns and sheds. Heating is mainly oil, propane and wood, and many homes have a fireplace or wood stove.
Weather and exposure
Most of the township is open, rolling farmland, so homes face wind across fields with few windbreaks, especially on higher ground. Homes along the Capoolong Creek and other stream valleys sit lower and closer to trees. Winters bring sustained snow and freeze-thaw cycling, and summer thunderstorms cross the open country with gusts and occasional hail.
