Painter in Ilpendam on the edge of Waterland

Ilpendam is a village in the municipality of Waterland, on the edge of the peat meadow area of the same name and between Purmerend and Amsterdam-Noord. The Ilperveld lies right next to the village. If you live here, the open landscape is literally on your doorstep, and you notice that in the upkeep of your home too.

Village living in Waterland

The centre of Ilpendam has a village character, with homes along the main road and the dyke, and smaller residential streets behind them. You will find older village houses with wooden details, detached homes and terraced houses from various periods. Many houses have timber window frames and front doors that shape the look of the street. With the older village houses, the work often involves fine woodwork, such as gutter boards and door posts, which needs to be sanded with care.

In Waterland the landscape is wet and open. That means plenty of wind, moisture and changeable weather. Woodwork that is not well protected absorbs water and can then start to rot, especially at sills and the bottom of doors. In this climate, an intact paint layer is the first line of defence. That is why our painter looks at those vulnerable spots first with every house.

What Oranje Kwast does in Ilpendam

• Exterior painting of window frames, doors and fascia boards
• Window frame repair where sills are damaged
• A classic front door given a fresh coat of gloss
• Interior work on walls, ceilings and stairs

Our painter chooses the right paint for each part. For exterior work in a damp environment, a good primer is the foundation, followed by two coats of gloss that protect the timber for a long time. If you are unsure about the timing, also read painting in winter. For a front door that helps define the street, he will help you find a colour that suits the village.
