Painting, woodwork and floors in the Jordaan

Craftsmanship for narrow houses and steep stairs.

In the Jordaan we work in narrow houses, often with a steep staircase and little room for materials. We paint inside and out, repair wooden window frames, lay floors and fix up balconies and roof terraces. You deal directly with Mark, no platform or middleman.

What that means for your job

Almost half of the buildings are older than 1900, with homes from the urban renewal of the seventies to nineties in between. Old buildings often have uneven floors and wooden frames that need attention on the outside; we check that during the inspection, so the price is right up front.
