What our clients say

★★★★★

"Excellent service from start to finish. Communication was clear, the pricing was fair, and the actual painting was done perfectly. What I really appreciated was how clean and tidy they left the place afterwards. If you need a reliable and skilled painter, look no further."

"I am very satisfied with the work of 4Builders Vastgoedonderhoud B.V. They helped me very well with the painting and with laying the laminate in my living room. Everything was done neatly and professionally, and they really pay attention to quality. Communication was pleasant and they thought along with me. My living room looks beautiful now. Definitely recommended!"

Frequently asked questions

What does painting in Amsterdam cost?

See our detailed price overview at the top of this page. As a guideline: wall coating starts from €14 per m², exterior window frames from €150 each, and a complete apartment interior is typically €4,500 to €7,500. We always work with a fixed price agreed up front, so no surprises. All prices include 9% VAT for homes older than 2 years.

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.
