Exterior painting in Amstelveen

Shade, trees and green growth

Avenues of large trees and gardens full of greenery make Amstelveen a pleasant place to live. For exterior painting, though, it means many houses are in the shade and their woodwork stays damp for a long time after a shower. On the north side and under overhanging branches, algae and moss then grow on frames, doors and fascias. Paint over that without preparation and the growth soon returns while the paint adheres less well. Thorough cleaning and letting the wood dry is therefore step one. How that works is under cleaning woodwork before painting.

The first major round in Westwijk

A large part of Westwijk was built from the 1990s onwards. Many of those homes are now due for a first or second full exterior round. From the street the woodwork often still looks reasonable, but on dormers and fascias, which are hard to see from the ground, the gloss is frequently already weathered. A thorough first round determines how long things stay good afterwards.

In Elsrijk and Bovenkerk the woodwork is older and frames have often been painted over several times already. There the emphasis is more on repairing old damage.

What our painter checks on an Amstelveen home

• Frames and doors on the north side and under trees for algae and green growth
• Dormers and fascias, which are hard to see from the street
• Timber garage doors and sheds, which are often forgotten
• Frames on older homes in Elsrijk and Bovenkerk for wood rot

To avoid everything needing attention at once, a maintenance schedule helps you plan ahead.
