The Zeeheldenkwartier is known for its monumental town houses, wide avenues and characteristic facades from around 1900. These historic properties call for specialist painting and careful material selection. Parkstaete Schilderwerken is based at Sweelinckplein, a short distance from the Zeeheldenkwartier, and specialises in painting and restoring monumental and pre-war homes.
Characteristic homes and building period
The homes in the Zeeheldenkwartier were largely built around 1900 and are known for their original woodwork, decorative mouldings and colourful facades. Many properties fall within the protected townscape or hold monument status. That combination of historic detailing and protected status means painting here calls for a careful approach.
Points of attention when painting
For monumental and pre-war properties we take into account the requirements that may apply, for example regarding colour scheme or execution, and we advise on a suitable approach. Material selection is equally precise: the right paint system depends on the substrate, the existing coatings and the condition of the property. We tailor the paint system accordingly, in keeping with the character of the home.
Common painting work on properties like these
Pre-war homes such as those in the Zeeheldenkwartier typically call for:
- Exterior painting of facades, window frames and doors, often with multiple colour layers
- Interior painting in original en-suite rooms with high ceilings and ornamentation
- Wood rot restoration on weathered frames and sills
- Decorative painting, such as gilding or marbling on room dividers and ceilings

Frequently asked questions
Can I simply have my monumental home in the Zeeheldenkwartier painted?
Not always. For properties within a protected townscape or with monument status, requirements may apply, for example regarding colour or execution. We advise you on this before the work begins.
Which paint is suitable for a pre-war property?
That depends on the substrate, the existing coatings and the condition of the property. We tailor the paint system accordingly, so that it suits the character of the home and lasts.
Does Parkstaete also work in the Zeeheldenkwartier?
Yes. We are based at Sweelinckplein, a short distance from the neighbourhood, and specialise in painting monumental and pre-war properties.
