Franklin Township is one of Somerset County's largest — covering Somerset, Kingston, East Millstone, and the streets along the Millstone River. Fairway Exteriors handles every Franklin section.
Includes the Somerset section, the Kingston border with South Brunswick, and the East Millstone historic area — one of Somerset County's largest and most diverse townships.
What Franklin Township homeowners need to know about exterior work
Franklin Township is one of Somerset County's largest by both area and population — about 71,200 residents across multiple distinct neighborhoods that don't share a single character. The Somerset section is dense and suburban, with Rutgers University–adjacent homes and the streets near Franklin High School. The Kingston section borders Princeton and has more upscale residential pattern. East Millstone is rural-historic, with homes dating back to the 1700s. Each section calls for a different approach.
The Somerset section has a strong concentration of mid-century homes and 1980s–2000s developments. Most projects here are full envelope upgrades — vinyl-to-Hardie re-sides combined with new architectural roofs and seamless gutter packages. The Rutgers-adjacent neighborhoods sometimes involve coordination with property managers or institutional tenants, but the exterior work itself follows standard regional patterns.
The Kingston section, on the South Brunswick border, has a more upscale residential pattern with larger lots, established neighborhoods, and homes that benefit from premium material packages. James Hardie ColorPlus, GAF or Owens Corning architectural shingles, copper or oversized aluminum gutters — coordinated material packages that match the area's investment standards.
East Millstone, in the township's western section, is rural-historic. The streets along the Millstone River and Manville Causeway hold homes dating back to the 1700s and 1800s, plus newer construction on larger lots. Period-appropriate exterior work matters in the historic core, while the newer sections follow more standard suburban patterns.

How does Franklin's geographic spread affect project planning?
Franklin's sections have different characters — Somerset is suburban, Kingston is upscale-residential, East Millstone is rural-historic. We tailor scope, material recommendations, and crew approach to each section. Crews are dispatched efficiently across the township and we know the typical conditions in each area.
Do you work on the historic homes in East Millstone?
Yes — East Millstone's 1700s and 1800s homes are some of the oldest in Somerset County. We use HardiePlank in narrow profiles to match original clapboard, custom HardieTrim to replicate period detail, and color packages within historically appropriate palettes. Period character with modern weather resistance.
Are Franklin permits straightforward?
Yes — the Township Construction Office is responsive and consistent across the township's geographic spread. We submit complete permit packages with manufacturer specs and clear scope, and most siding/roofing permits issue within 7–14 days.
Can you handle larger Kingston-area estate projects?
Yes — the Kingston section has larger residential lots and more upscale projects. We bring scaffolding for tall gables, multi-day staging plans, premium material packages, and the project management these properties require. Coordinated Hardie ColorPlus, premium architectural shingles, and copper or oversized gutters are common.
