Exterior painting in Purmerend

A street that ages all at once

Purmerend was largely built within a few decades. Districts such as the Purmer date from the 1970s and 1980s, and the Weidevenne was added around the turn of the century. Houses in the same street therefore often have the same frames, the same paint system and roughly the same moment when maintenance is due. Agree with a few neighbours to have it done at the same time, and the scaffolding only has to go up once while the street keeps a matching colour scheme.

The right time of year

Exterior gloss has to be applied to dry wood at a reasonable temperature. In the polder around Purmerend the morning dew can hang about for a long time, so the day does not always start early with lacquering. Spring and summer are the most common period, although in good weather work can carry on into autumn. Read more under the best season for exterior painting.

Plan in good time and you have more choice in the week it happens, and you avoid the job sliding into autumn because spring was already fully booked.

Parts that often need attention

• Fascias and bargeboards, which hang in full sun and rain
• South-facing front doors, where the gloss chalks first
• Timber sheds at the back of the garden
• Frames on homes from the 1970s and 1980s, where the first wood rot appears

The front door is the calling card of the house. What a good lacquer job involves is covered under painting a front door.
