Restoration

Amsterdam is a city defined by its architectural heritage — centuries-old canal houses, ornamental facades, period interiors, and buildings that carry real historical significance. Restoring these properties requires a completely different approach from standard renovation work. It demands knowledge of traditional building techniques, access to authentic materials, and the patience to get every detail right. That is exactly what our restoration team delivers.

We specialize in bringing aging and historic properties back to their original condition while carefully preserving the elements that give them character. This includes restoring decorative plasterwork and ceiling ornaments, repairing or replacing original woodwork such as window frames, doors, and staircases, rebuilding damaged brickwork and pointing, and restoring facades to their period-correct appearance. Where original materials cannot be salvaged, we source period-appropriate replacements from specialized suppliers.

Restoration work often involves navigating complex regulations, especially when dealing with listed monuments or properties in protected conservation areas. Our team has experience working with municipal heritage departments and understands the permit requirements and restrictions that apply. We handle the paperwork and compliance so you can focus on the vision for your property.

Beyond the visible restoration, we also address the structural health of the building. This can include reinforcing foundations, treating timber against rot and insect damage, improving waterproofing, and upgrading insulation where possible without compromising the historic fabric. The goal is always the same: to honor the original craftsmanship while ensuring the building is safe, comfortable, and built to last for generations to come.
