What is an MJOP?

An MJOP, or long-term maintenance plan, is a plan in which a VvE (homeowners' association) or property owner sets out the planned maintenance for the coming years. Painting is often a recurring, substantial item in it.

Long-term maintenance plan for a VvE complex

What an MJOP contains

An MJOP describes what maintenance is needed and when, and what it is expected to cost. This way a VvE knows how much needs to be set aside each year, and major expenses don't come as a surprise.

The role of painting

Exterior painting recurs in an MJOP at fixed intervals, because the woodwork needs to stay protected. By aligning paint maintenance with the MJOP, the work stays planned and costs stay predictable. We think along with you on this and align our planning with the MJOP.

DIY, or better to have it done?

With the right preparation and materials, some parts of VvE painting work can be done yourself, especially for small-scale, easily accessible work. Where it gets trickier — working at height, uncertainty about the condition of the surface, or work that causes more expensive damage if done wrong, such as wood rot or damp problems — it's wise to have a professional painter take a look before you start.

Not sure what's sensible for your situation? During a free, no-obligation assessment we give honest advice: sometimes a touch-up is enough, sometimes a more thorough approach is needed. That advice is free and non-binding, even if you decide to do it yourself.

What affects the cost

Naming a specific figure for VvE painting work is difficult without knowing the situation: the surface area, the condition of the surface, accessibility and the number of coats together determine the price. Poorly maintained work needs more preparation — such as wood repair or extra sanding — and therefore weighs more heavily than the painting itself.

Want to know what this means for your situation? After a free, no-obligation assessment you'll receive a clear, concrete quote, so you don't have to guess based on a generic price per square metre. See also our full breakdown of what determines the cost of painting.

Frequently asked questions

How often does painting appear in an MJOP?

That depends on the condition and exposure of the woodwork. Exterior painting recurs at fixed intervals; an inspection determines the precise cycle.

Can Painting Company help me with this?

Yes. VvE painting work is exactly the kind of work we carry out every day, for private homeowners, VvE's and property managers. Request a free, no-obligation quote for tailored advice.

Is an assessment or quote free and non-binding?

Yes, always. We first assess the situation — preferably with an on-site visit — before giving a clear, concrete price.

Do you work with professional materials?

Yes, exclusively with professional materials and paint systems matched to the surface and the load it faces. That gives a crisper, more durable result than standard DIY-store paint.

Which region are you active in?

We are active in Amsterdam and the wider region, covering Noord-Holland, Utrecht and Zuid-Holland. See our service area for the full list of towns.

Can I see examples of previous work?

Yes, our projects page has examples of completed painting work for homes and VvE's.

Is this something I'm better off outsourcing, or can I do it myself?

Small-scale, easily accessible work can sometimes be done yourself with the right preparation. If you're unsure, it's at height, or the wrong approach could cause more expensive damage, we recommend having a professional painter take a look first.

How long does it take to receive a quote after a request?

We get in touch quickly after your request to schedule an assessment. Based on that you'll receive a clear, no-obligation quote.

Do you also advise if I want to do (part of) the work myself?

Yes, during an assessment we give honest advice on what's sensible — even if you decide to carry out certain parts yourself.

Do you also work with other trades, such as plasterers or plumbers?

As part of CrumBouw, we have access to broader construction expertise and can, where needed, think along about related work beyond the painting itself.
