Overview
Kitchen Remodeling in Franklin — for homeowners in Somerset County, built by a team that lives here.
Franklin Township is Somerset County's most diverse community, stretching from the commercial bustle of Easton Avenue near Rutgers to quiet residential pockets like Middlebush and Griggstown. The housing stock is equally varied — 1960s ranches and bi-levels near Route 27, newer developments along Elizabeth Avenue, and historic farmhouses dotting the rural southern end toward the Delaware and Raritan Canal towpath.
Franklin's diversity extends to its renovation needs. Families near Somerset upgrading kitchens in 1970s colonials, investors refreshing rental properties near Rutgers, and rural homeowners converting outbuildings into home offices all call Franklin home. The township's large footprint means building department responsiveness varies by section, and local soil conditions — especially clay near the canal — affect basement waterproofing decisions.
