Overdue paintwork

Usually, yes. As long as the wood is sound, a thorough repaint brings the work back up to standard. Where wood rot is already present, we combine it with repair.

Small, surface-level cases can sometimes be touched up yourself, but if you're unsure we'd advise against it. We first assess how far the backlog has progressed and where damage has already occurred. We repair any damaged wood, after which we bring everything back into a proper maintenance system. Repairs done incorrectly often end up costing more in the long run than calling a professional painter straight away.

That depends a lot on the extent and accessibility of the spot. For a limited, localised case the work is often done within a day or a few days; larger areas take longer. During the free assessment we give a concrete estimate for your situation.

That varies by situation — the extent, the accessibility and whether painting is also needed all play a role. We give a clear quote after a free, no-obligation assessment, so you know exactly where you stand beforehand.

Wood rot and more costly repairs or replacement The longer you wait, the bigger the eventual repair — and the cost that comes with it — tends to be.

We prefer to carry out exterior work in dry weather at a moderate temperature, usually from spring to autumn. Repairing acute damage — such as cutting out rotten wood — can however often be done year-round, so the problem doesn't get worse while you wait for better weather.

We address not just the visible symptom but also the underlying cause — deferred maintenance: the paint layer has worn out, leaving wood and façade exposed and unprotected against weather and moisture. Periodic maintenance also helps: touching up small damage in time prevents a small problem growing back into a bigger repair.

We work with professional materials and paint systems matched to the surface and the load it faces — not standard DIY-store paint. Where needed we combine that with specialised wood repair systems or primers matched to the specific cause.

We always discuss guarantee terms upfront and set them out clearly in the quote, so you know exactly what to expect before we start.

Yes, we combine this regularly. If we're already on site for maintenance painting, it's often more efficient to include this in the same schedule rather than planning it separately.

This comes up more often on older properties, simply because the woodwork and facades have been exposed to the weather for longer and often already carry several layers of paint. On listed-building details we work with extra care to preserve the original profiling and appearance.

Greyed, dull or discoloured woodwork

In most cases a thorough visual inspection by a professional painter is enough to determine the extent. If there's doubt about the underlying structure, we look a little deeper, for example by gently testing whether the wood can still bear weight.

Yes. We fix overdue paintwork for private homes, VvE's and real estate such as commercial buildings and apartment blocks. The approach is similar, though larger properties are often planned in phases.

Visible damage to window frames, facades or woodwork can create a negative impression during a sale or valuation and raise questions about deferred maintenance. Addressing it in time avoids that discussion and keeps the property looking well cared for.

No, that's not necessary. Just make sure the spot is reasonably accessible; we handle everything else, from inspection to execution.

If the situation calls for it, we arrange that through GoedkoopSteigerHuren.nl, part of the same organisation as Painting Company. We combine that into a single request, which saves coordination steps.

We respond to requests quickly and schedule the assessment as soon as possible in consultation with you. Request a free, no-obligation quote and we'll get in touch.

If the wood is still sound despite the backlog, a thorough repaint can bring the work back up to standard. Where wood rot has already developed, we combine the repaint with wood repair or replacement of the affected parts.
