Unlock Your Home’s Untapped Potential

We make the process of adding a room over the garage simple. It starts with a consultation where we listen to your needs and assess your property. Our team then manages the entire project from the initial design to the final build, ensuring every detail aligns with your vision and our high standards for craftsmanship. This is a smart way to expand without altering your home’s footprint.

A Smart and Cost-Effective Solution

Choosing to build over your garage is a cost-effective way to gain significant square footage. Since the foundation and structure are already in place, this approach to home additions can be more affordable than building from the ground up. It’s a practical investment that boosts your property’s value while giving you the extra room you need.

Seamless Integration with Your Home

Our team excels at designing and constructing small additions that look like they’ve always been part of your home.

our Process

A Straightforward Approach for Quality Home Projects

Every project follows the same five steps, so you always know what comes next and what it costs.

1

Consultation and Goal Setting

We meet within 48 hours of your form to talk through how you’ll use the new space and what you want it to do for your home.

2

Design and Planning

We turn your goals into a design and 3D renderings, so you can picture the finished room before any work starts on your home.

3

Quote, Permits and Schedule

Our quote itemizes permits, engineering, materials, and labor, and we handle every filing with town building inspectors and HOAs.

4

Building With Multi-Point Checks

Our crew frames to engineered load requirements and runs a multi-point checklist at every stage, catching small issues early.

5

Final Walkthrough and Handover

We walk the finished room with you, go through every item on the list, and hand over your warranty packet before we wrap up.

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.
