Looking for a contractor in Zaandam? From Zwaag we drive to the largest town in the municipality of Zaanstad in about 40 minutes. Zaandam has two faces. Along the river Zaan and in the older parts stand the well-known timber Zaan houses, often painted green with white trim. Around them lie post-war neighbourhoods such as Poelenburg and Westerwatering, with many terraced houses.

In Zaandam we built a complete rear extension to a terraced house. Projects like that suit the way we work: one project manager oversees everything, from design and foundation to the final finish. With our network of craftspeople we match the quality to your wishes, with your budget at the centre.

Our extension project in Zaandam

For the extension in Zaandam we handled the entire process: design, foundation, brickwork, frames and finish. First a concrete floor was poured against the existing rear wall, with the house's French doors connecting directly onto it. Then came the insulation and the construction of the walls and roof.

An extension like this turns a narrow terraced house into a home with a spacious kitchen-diner or living room facing the garden. A well-built extension also usually adds value to the property.

  • Design and foundation at the rear
  • Concrete floor poured against the existing rear wall
  • Brickwork, frames and complete finish
  • Well insulated and matched to the existing house

Contractor in Zaandam for terraced houses and extensions

In Zaandam's post-war neighbourhoods, a rear extension is a popular renovation. The soil in the Zaan region is soft, so an extension is usually built on piles. Read more about the foundation of an extension and why it matters so much for the end result.

If you want to know roughly what to expect, see extension costs per m2. For a reliable figure we always prepare a tailored quote, based on your home and your wishes.

Maintaining and repairing Zaan timber houses

The timber houses of the Zaan region are beautiful but need maintenance. Cladding, frames and roof edges are exposed to wind and weather. If maintenance is put off too long, wood rot sets in. Repair is often still quite possible, see wood rot in frames.

With maintenance and restoration we keep the character of the building intact. Profiles, dimensions and colour stay in line with what is already there. For listed buildings or properties in a protected area, changes to the exterior often require a permit as well.

Permits and planning in Zaanstad

An extension in the rear yard area is permit-free under certain conditions. That depends on the size, the location and the zoning plan of the municipality of Zaanstad. In permit-free building you can read what to look out for. Always check with the municipality or through the Omgevingsloket.

We also work in Koog aan de Zaan, Wormerveer and Amsterdam. Wherever you live, you have one fixed point of contact with us.

"Wij zijn heel tevreden over het vervangen van de kozijnen (ramen en deur) op ons dakterras. Richard werkt netjes, is vakkundig en komt zijn afspraken na. Je merkt dat hij zijn werk met zorg uitvoert. Al bij het opnemen van het werk dacht hij mee en kwam hij met goed advies. Het resultaat is echt mooi geworden en we zijn er dan ook heel blij mee. Zeker een aanrader!"

"Waar Richard een aantal jaar geleden onze zolder naar twee volwaardige kamers heeft omgebouwd, waren we heel blij dat hij ons ook heeft kunnen helpen met een garage aanbouw. Niet voor niets dat we hem al twee keer hebben benaderd. Richard is een vakman, denkt mee in de mogelijkheden en de communicatie is top."

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about building in Zaandam

What have you built in Zaandam?

In Zaandam we completed a full rear extension to a terraced house, from design and foundation to brickwork, frames and finish. On the project page you can see photos of the build, from the poured floor to the insulation.

Can you also renovate a timber Zaan house?

Yes. We also renovate and restore timber homes. We first look at the condition of the wood and the structure. Then we repair where we can and replace where we must.

Can the extension run the full width of the house?

With a terraced house this is often possible, but it depends on the zoning plan and the situation next door. When building on or against the boundary, it is wise to involve the neighbours early. We help you with the drawings and the coordination.

Do you really come all the way from Zwaag to Zaandam?

Yes. Zaandam is about a 40-minute drive and is simply part of our working area. We work throughout West-Friesland and the rest of Noord-Holland.
