Painting in Amsterdam-Oost (East)
An approach for each type of building, honest advice on wood rot and one point of contact for VvE's.
Every neighbourhood its own approach
The Dapperbuurt needs different preparation than a 1930s home in Watergraafsmeer or a modern apartment on Java-eiland. We match the paint system and prep work to your building: no one-size-fits-all.
Honest about wood rot
Older window frames in East often hide wood rot. We repair what can be repaired (from €95 per repair spot) and tell you honestly when replacement beats repair.
Stairwells and VvE's
For apartment associations in East we paint stairwells, facades and frames on a multi-year plan with fixed price agreements, with one point of contact for the whole building.
What kind of homes stand in Amsterdam-Oost
Of the 15,495 buildings in Amsterdam-Oost, half were built between 1913 and 1952; the median building year is 1926.

What that means for your painting
Oost is mixed: from nineteenth-century streets to neighbourhoods from between the wars and new builds. That is why we look at what is there before we choose a paint system.

Frequently asked questions
What does painting in Amsterdam cost?
That depends on the home and the work. We come and have a look first, then you get a fixed price on paper. Guide prices per m², per frame and per project are on our cost page.
Do you charge by the hour or a fixed price?
By default always a fixed price agreement on paper before we start. No hourly rate, no extra/less-work discussions afterwards. For very small jobs (e.g. one loose door or radiator) we work on a day rate. You know up front what it costs, no meter running.
What paint do you use?
We work exclusively with professional paint systems from quality brands like Sigma and Sikkens. These coatings give a beautiful, smooth finish and protect your woodwork long-term against the Dutch weather. Colour advice is always included.
Do you work on monumental properties and apartment buildings (VvE)?
Absolutely. We specialise in painting Amsterdam canal houses and apartment buildings (VvE / Homeowners Associations). We have extensive experience with wood rot repair and restoring monumental details.
Is 4Builders a registered and insured company?
Yes, we are a registered Dutch company (Chamber of Commerce no. 99333074) and fully insured with both liability and CAR insurance. You carry no financial risk during the work.
