What siding in Franklin actually involves.
Franklin counts about 2,288 housing units, and the median one went up in 1955 — in the postwar building boom. About 73% of the stock is pre-1980. Around 40% of homes here predate 1940 entirely.
Homes from this era were built before anyone wrapped a house: bare sheathing, no moisture barrier, little or no wall insulation. Re-siding one of these is the rare exterior job that actually changes what the house costs to heat.
Wall areas vary enormously between the single-family houses and the two- and three-families here, which is why siding quotes in town range more widely than people expect.
Owner-occupancy runs around 56% in Franklin, so a good share of the work here is for landlords and small property owners. Those jobs get the same written number and the same crews; they just tend to move faster.
The conditions this work has to survive
Franklin sits in Sussex County — the highest, coldest corner of the state, with lake communities and real snow. Up here the design problem is weight and ice, not wind. The code figure for Sussex County is 50 psf of ground snow load — a real number with real consequences. What actually damages houses is not the load but the ice dam that forms when a warm attic melts the underside of the snow and the cold eave freezes it again. On walls it shows up as staining and rot below the eaves where meltwater has run behind the cladding for years.

Franklin pricing, and what moves it.
Most siding projects in Franklin land between $10,000 and $22,000. The lower half of that range covers most straightforward houses in town; the upper half is where you get into steep pitches, multiple layers to remove, or decking that has to be replaced. For context, the median home in Franklin is valued at about $270,000. The number on your estimate is the number you pay — we do not write change orders.
Housing figures are American Community Survey 2024 five-year estimates for Franklin borough and ground snow load is from New Jersey DCA Bulletin 19-1.

“Honest about everything. They showed up on time, kept the property clean, and the roof came out amazing. Made everything stress free.”
Straight answers.
Siding in Franklin typically runs $10,000 to $22,000. What moves a given house within that band is size, pitch and what is already on the roof — and with a median build year of 1955 and 73% of the stock built before 1980, Franklin sees more of that variation than a newer town would. We work that out at the inspection, not after the job starts.
You do, and we take care of it. Permits for a siding come from the Franklin construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code, and we pull the permit, schedule the inspection and meet the inspector ourselves.
It does. Sussex County carries a design ground snow load of 50 pounds per square foot under New Jersey's construction code — among the highest in the state. In practice that means ice-and-water shield carried well up the eaves and a properly ventilated attic, because ice dams, not the weight itself, are what damage homes here.
Most jobs run one to three days depending on the size of the house. Franklin is about 59 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
It is a real factor. At around 541 feet, Franklin is exposed enough that damage shows up at the edges — lifted tabs along the rakes and ridge caps that let go first. We use high-wind nailing patterns and sealed ridge details as standard here.
Nothing up front. We finish the job in Franklin, you look at it, then you pay. Financing is available and does not change what we quoted.
Three things separate us: no deposit, no change orders, and a written price that holds. We are GAF-certified, veteran-owned, NJ HIC 13VH12437000, rated 4.9 from 264 reviews, and we work across Sussex County, including Hamburg, Sparta and Stockholm.
