Three generations of craftsmanship

It began in 1978, when Henk de Vries helped his first customers in Haarlem’s Kleverpark neighbourhood with one ladder and a handcart. His son Wim took over in 1998 and expanded the business with wallpapering and spray painting.

Since 2015 grandson Kees has run the business. With a team of ten painters and paperhangers we work on private homes, listed buildings and apartment buildings throughout South Kennemerland.

What has never changed: we take time over good preparation, use the best materials and treat your home as if it were our own.
