Exterior Painting in Rotterdam
Exterior painting protects your window frames, woodwork and facades against rain, UV radiation and temperature fluctuations. A good paint layer prevents wood rot and significantly extends the lifespan of the woodwork. In Rotterdam we take the local building style and conditions into account.
- Wood repair included

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.
Exterior Painting in Rotterdam: what we look out for
Painting Company carries out painting work throughout Rotterdam, from private homes to entire apartment blocks. In a city like Rotterdam, planned maintenance for VvE's and property managers is an important part of our work.
In Rotterdam, we most often come across the following painting work:
- Planned maintenance for VvE's and apartment complexes
- Facade and window-frame maintenance on prewar homes
- Maintenance of galleries, stairwells and balconies
- Painting maintenance for commercial buildings and shopfronts
Characteristic of the local building style:
- Postwar reconstruction-era architecture alongside prewar residential neighborhoods
- Large stock of apartment blocks with active homeowners' association (VvE) management
- Harbor climate with considerable wind and moisture exposure on facades
Exterior Painting across every neighbourhood of Rotterdam
We carry out exterior painting throughout Rotterdam, from the centre to the outer neighbourhoods. In practice we're active in, among others, Centrum, Kralingen, Delfshaven, Rotterdam-Noord, Hillegersberg, Charlois and Feijenoord.
Do you own or manage property in another part of Rotterdam? You're still in the right place — the neighbourhoods above are where we work most often, but we don't turn anyone away in Rotterdam.
Which properties we carry out exterior painting for in Rotterdam
In Rotterdam we carry out exterior painting for private homeowners, VvE's and property managers. The housing stock in Rotterdam largely consists of apartment buildings, apartment complexes, townhouses, commercial buildings, 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 Rotterdam.
Cost and planning for exterior painting in Rotterdam
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 Rotterdam, 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 Rotterdam?
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 Rotterdam 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 Rotterdam
Many clients in Rotterdam 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 vve painting, property maintenance, window frame painting, commercial property painting.
