Exterior Painting in Alkmaar

Our approach to exterior painting

For exterior painting, we first check the condition of the window frames, sealant joints and existing paint layers. Loose paint is removed and minor wood damage is repaired before the new paint layers are applied. Where sealant joints have hardened or come loose, we renew them so that moisture cannot get behind the woodwork.

We then sand the woodwork, prime bare and repaired spots, and apply the topcoats. The number of coats depends on the substrate and the colour choice.

When to carry out exterior painting

The best time for exterior painting is generally between early spring and late autumn, when the temperature and humidity are stable enough for the paint to dry and adhere properly. We do not paint in freezing conditions or during persistent rain.

Peeling paint, discolouration, blistering or soft spots in the wood are signs that maintenance is needed. The sooner you address this, the smaller the risk of wood rot and more costly repairs.

Which properties we carry out exterior painting for in Alkmaar

In Alkmaar we carry out exterior painting for private homeowners, VvE's and property managers. The housing stock in Alkmaar largely consists of listed buildings, townhouses, 1930s-style homes, apartments, and each type of property needs its own approach — from height and accessibility to the type of woodwork or facade finish involved.

Whether it's a single home, a complete apartment block or a commercial building: we tailor the planning and approach to the situation on the ground in Alkmaar.

Cost and planning for exterior painting in Alkmaar

The cost of exterior painting depends on the scope of the work, the condition of the surface and the accessibility of the property. A terraced house calls for a different approach and planning than a complete apartment block. That's why we always start with an on-site assessment in Alkmaar, before preparing a concrete, clear quote.

For planning, we take the Dutch climate into account: we prefer to schedule exterior work during a dry, mild period, while interior work can be done year-round. For urgent situations — such as active wood rot — we try to respond faster.

Need scaffolding for exterior painting in Alkmaar?

For work at height — for example on an upper floor, guttering, or a multi-storey facade — scaffolding is often needed to work safely and efficiently. In Alkmaar we can arrange that directly through GoedkoopSteigerHuren.nl, part of the same organisation as Painting Company.

The advantage: you arrange painting work and scaffolding in a single request, with a single point of contact, instead of starting two separate processes.

Combining exterior painting with other work in Alkmaar

Many clients in Alkmaar combine exterior painting with other work, so it's all done properly in one go and scaffolding or an aerial platform is only needed once. Think of window frame painting, wood rot repair, facade maintenance, interior painting.
