Painting in Oud-Zuid
Short lines, knowledge of the local buildings, and work for homeowners and VvE's.
Your painter around the corner
Our base is in Oud-Zuid. That means short lines and no surprise travel charges, also for smaller jobs in between.
We know the local buildings
Townhouses with high ceilings and ornaments, monumental facades around the Museum Quarter, 1930s window frames in the Stadionbuurt: each building type needs its own preparation and paint system. South-facing facades weather faster here, so we advise on the right maintenance cycle as standard.
Homeowners and VvE's
We work for homeowners and apartment associations (VvE) across Oud-Zuid, including multi-year maintenance plans at fixed prices.
What kind of homes stand in Oud-Zuid
Of the 7,808 buildings in Oud-Zuid, half were built between 1905 and 1931; the median building year is 1915.

What that means for your painting
More than 8 in 10 buildings were built between 1900 and 1944, with wooden window frames, stairwells and porches from that time. Our base is in the Museumkwartier, right in Oud-Zuid.

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.
