Painting, woodwork and floors in De Baarsjes

Amsterdam School from the twenties and thirties.

In De Baarsjes we work in the walk-up apartments around the Mercatorplein, the Hoofdweg and the Chassébuurt. We paint inside and out, fix up balconies, lay floors and take the old material away. You deal directly with Mark, no platform or middleman.

What that means for your job

Almost all buildings date from the twenties and thirties: walk-up apartments with a shared staircase, wooden window frames and often a balcony. For a new floor in these homes we first check the wooden subfloor and the owners' association's sound rules; that determines the build-up.
