Painting, woodwork and floors in Amsterdam city centre

From the Haarlemmerbuurt to the Plantage.

In the city centre we work in old town houses and apartments, where loading and unloading is often tied to set times and parking is scarce. We paint inside and out, repair window frames, lay floors and fix up balconies and roof terraces. You deal directly with Mark, no platform or middleman.

Apartment from 1898 refurbished

De Pijp · September 2026

In the Oude Pijp: walls and ceilings painted in two coats, the old floor taken out and about 45 m² of herringbone laminate laid with new skirting, and seven doors sanded, primed and finished.

Balcony balustrade replaced at the rear

De Pijp · September 2026

A new balustrade, re-anchored into the floor joists and the brickwork so it is safe again.

Patio with a new hardwood deck

De Pijp · June 2026

The weathered deck taken out, a new hardwood deck put in.

★★★★★

"The balustrade on our terrace has been renewed. Pleasant contact with Mounir and carpenter Jens. Everything was installed on the agreed day. We are very happy with the result."

What that means for your job

More than half of the buildings are older than 1900, with new builds from the seventies to nineties in between. In old buildings the work is often on window frames and stairwells, in newer homes on floors and interior painting. We plan deliveries around the loading times.
