Remodeling Franklin homes

Franklin became a city in 1956, and most of it was still farmland in the early 1960s. Census figures put the median home at about 1990, so many kitchens and baths here are 30 or more years old.

  • Kitchens from the subdivision years

    Homes built in the 1980s and 1990s often still have their first cabinets and counters. When the layout works, more of your budget can go into storage, lighting and finishes.

  • Primary baths built around a big tub

    Large tubs were common in homes of that era, and many sit unused. Trading one for a walk-in shower takes careful waterproofing and drain work.

  • Full basements with room to finish

    Many newer Franklin homes sit over a basement that was never finished. It can become a family room, office or guest space, with an egress window if you want a bedroom down there.

  • Older homes near Rawson Avenue

    Franklin began moving from farms to suburbs in the early 1950s, with housing built west of 76th Street and south of Rawson Avenue. Homes from those years tend to be smaller, so a wall change or an addition can matter more than new finishes.

Permits for a Franklin remodel

The City of Franklin requires a building permit to remodel any living space, add to a home or change structural parts. Inspection Services asks for at least 10 business days, so we build that time into your schedule.

Electrical and plumbing work must be done by licensed contractors, who get those permits before they start. Franklin also tells homeowners to ask for a copy of the permit before work begins, so please ask us.

Great experience! I was quoted with a very fair price. I needed to replace the roof and gutters due to damage that was caused by a tree. The work was scheduled and completed quickly. And the price I was quoted is what they charged me.

I needed additional insulation placed in my attic. The crew … arrived on time, were very respectful and knowledgeable and did a great job. I plan on using their services in the future.
