Roofing and chimney work in Franklin
Franklin Township is farm country in south-central Warren County, a landscape of rolling fields, preserved farmland and wooded hillsides with the Musconetcong River along its southern edge. Its population is spread among small crossroads villages such as Broadway, New Village and Asbury, the old mill village on the Musconetcong, and along rural roads where farmhouses, barns and newer homes sit on large lots. There is no dense town center; the character is agricultural.

Housing in Franklin
Franklin's housing includes farmhouses from the 1800s and early 1900s, many enlarged over the generations with ells, porches and rear additions, along with village homes in the crossroads hamlets and later twentieth-century colonials, ranches and split-levels on rural lots. Asphalt shingle covers most homes; barns and outbuildings often carry metal. Older homes commonly have brick or stone chimneys, and wood stoves are a common source of heat.
Weather and exposure
Open fields give wind a long run at roofs and chimneys, especially on hilltop farms, while homes in the river valley near the Musconetcong deal with fog, damp air and cold that pools in the low ground. Winters bring snow and steady freeze-thaw, and isolated trees and woodlot edges drop limbs on nearby roofs in summer thunderstorms.
