Painter in Heemstede for villas and town houses

Heemstede borders the south side of Haarlem and is known for its avenues, parks and pre-war villas. It is a green municipality with many detached houses, town houses and semi-detached homes, often with rich detailing. Painting homes like these takes time and precision.

Villas and tree-lined avenues

Many houses in Heemstede date from the first half of the twentieth century. You will see tiled roofs with large overhangs, timber bargeboards, bay windows, French doors and window frames with fine glazing bars. There is a lot of woodwork, and it sits in places that are hard to reach, such as high bargeboards and dormers.

The avenues with their tall trees give Heemstede its character, but they also mean shade and falling leaves. As a result, woodwork dries out less quickly after a shower. Heemstede is also close to the dunes, so the westerly wind has free rein. A good paint system and timely maintenance keep villas like these looking their best.

What Oranje Kwast does in Heemstede

With a villa, the painting is considered as a whole: the colour of the window frames, the bargeboards, the front door and the shutters should work together. Our painter helps with that choice and also looks at what suits the street. You can read more about this under choosing a window frame colour. A villa with a dark front door and light window frames simply needs a different balance from a town house in off-white.

What happens next

Our painter visits you in Heemstede free of charge and walks round the house with you. You will also discuss the planning, because exterior painting on a large house is best scheduled in the dry season. You will hear from him within 24 hours and have a clear quote within 48 hours of the walk round. That way you know well in advance when work on your house will take place.
