Contractor in Edam

A contractor in Edam often works on buildings with a long history. The small town is known for its cheese market, canals, bridges and historic facades, and together with Volendam it forms the municipality of Edam-Volendam. From Zwaag we are there in about 30 minutes. We help owners with restoration and maintenance in the old centre, and with extensions and attic conversions in the surrounding residential areas. One project manager guides your project from start to finish.

Contractor in Edam for the historic centre

The centre of Edam has many listed buildings. For a listed building you need an environmental permit (omgevingsvergunning) for most changes, including inside. In a historic centre, municipalities also pay attention to the appearance of facades, frames and roofs. Read beforehand what renovating a listed building involves.

In restoration, repair comes before replacement. Timber frames with wood rot can often still be repaired by removing the affected part and expertly filling it in. If replacement is necessary after all, we make new frames in the original style and profile.

• Repair of wood rot in frames, sills and facade work
• New frames in a traditional style and profile
• Maintenance of roofs, gutters and fascia boards
• Coordination with the municipality on permit and exterior

Extensions and attics in the residential areas

Outside the old centre lie residential areas with single-family houses from the second half of the last century. There, it is usually about extra space. A rear extension gives more living space downstairs. Upstairs, an attic room often gives the quickest gain, especially with a roof window or dormer.
