Painting in De Pijp
Narrow stairwells, busy streets and many rented homes: this is how we handle them.
Narrow buildings, tidy approach
De Pijp's 19th-century buildings have narrow, steep stairwells and thin walls. We cover everything carefully, plan tightly (you know exactly when we arrive) and leave the place broom-clean every day, your neighbours included.
Window frames on busy streets
Frames on Ferdinand Bolstraat, Ceintuurbaan or Van Woustraat take more abuse from traffic and weather. We use a paint system that can handle it and give honest advice on the maintenance cycle.
Landlords welcome
Many homes in De Pijp are rented out. For landlords and property managers we plan around tenant changes, with a fixed quote on paper.

What that means for your painting
More than 4 in 10 buildings date from before 1900. Wooden window frames with many old layers of paint: we first check them for wood rot before we sand and paint.

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.
