I can't say enough about these folks. I had 7 quotes and selected Trant's out of all of them as my neighbor had extensive work done by them and the finished quality was outstanding. They weren't the lowest or the highest. Right in the middle, but they were the ones I felt the most comfortable with. There were 3 in the crew and the same crew worked on the project from start to finish. They were all respectful, friendly, VERY easy to deal with, and in many cases went "above and beyond". The design and quality of their work and their attention to detail was absolutely impeccable. There were no "surprises" or incidental costs added on regardless of what issues they ran into during the project. The communication was great and timely. I would hire them back for any project in a New York minute. As a matter of fact, I am having them look at another project for my son as I write.

Allan Trant’s Exterior Finish Work built a beautiful new deck at the back of our home in Dover, NH, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results! From beginning to end, communication was excellent. Allan’s crew was talented, professional, courteous, and respectful of our property. Their attention to detail and craftsmanship were exceptional, with every measurement and finishing touch completed with great care and precision. Once the deck was finished, they returned to remove all of the debris, added crushed rock underneath the deck, and even put down topsoil and seed around the surrounding areas to give everything a clean, finished look. We absolutely love our new deck and have already recommended Allan Trant’s Exterior Finish Work to several friends. We will gladly continue to sing their praises to anyone looking to build or replace a deck. We highly recommend them!

Allan Trant’s Exterior Finish Work did our deck when we built our home in Greenland, NH, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. The attention to details was outstanding, and the entire process was professional from start to finish. Our deck has become one of our favorite parts of our home. If you’re looking for an honest contractor who delivers high-quality work, and beautiful results, I highly recommend Allan !

Can’t say enough good things about working with Allan & his team. The whole process was easy, transparent and professional. Hired them to do some work that impacted the inside and outside of a second floor window. After we contacted them they made it easy to schedule a time to meet and get a quote, understand costs, answered all my questions. They were very knowledgeable about what they were doing and how they would repair the problem. We trusted them to do the job and they did not disappoint! The team that came to do the job was well mannered and cleaned up after themselves. I can’t say I’ve ever worked with a contractor that was this put together. We recommend them and will also be using them again for future projects.

I had my deck completed last fall, and they did a wonderful job. The work was finished in a very timely manner, and they were flexible in handling additional work at a reasonable price. I would highly recommend Allan Trant’s Exterior Finish Work / AJT Properties.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my deck needs a full replacement or just resurfacing?

We provide a comprehensive structural evaluation to determine if your existing frame is “level-one” ready for an upgrade. If your foundation is sound, we can perform a professional resurfacing, replacing worn-out wood with premium Trex or TimberTech composite and giving you a brand-new look at a fraction of the cost. However, if we find signs of rot or structural instability, a full deck replacement is recommended to ensure your home’s safety and long-term value.

Hiring a Trex Pro Platinum installer means you are working with a contractor at the highest level of manufacturer certification. This elite status allows us to offer industry-leading warranties on materials and labor that standard contractors cannot provide. For Seacoast homeowners, this ensures your deck is engineered with the latest heat-mitigating technology and moisture resistance, essential for surviving New Hampshire’s diverse climate.

Yes, a primary unique selling proposition of our company is that we handle all local permitting and inspections for our customers. We have deep experience navigating the building codes in Nottingham, Epping, Exeter, and throughout the Seacoast, saving you the stress of paperwork and ensuring your project is 100% compliant with local regulations.

While wood offers a classic look, homeowners in New Hampshire often grow tired of the constant sanding, staining, and rot issues associated with the Seacoast’s humidity. Composite decking from Trex, AZEK, or TimberTech is virtually maintenance-free, splinter-free, and resistant to fading and mold. It is the ideal choice for those seeking “low-maintenance luxury” and a higher return on investment for their property.

Absolutely. While we are known for our custom decks, we specialize in high-ticket exterior additions including 3-4 season rooms, pergolas, and Additional Dwelling Units (ADUs). These larger projects range from $50,000 to over $150,000 and are designed to provide “square feet under your feet” for year-round enjoyment. Our 3rd-generation framing expertise ensures these additions blend seamlessly with your home’s original architecture.
