IJburg: modern architecture, life on the water, and gardens ready for renewal
IJburg is the youngest and most water-bound part of Amsterdam. Built on man-made islands, Steigereiland, IJburg West, Haveneiland and the emerging Centrumeiland, it sets contemporary architecture, waterside villas, apartment blocks and green quaysides side by side.
You cycle along the IJburglaan and the Pampuslaan, or simply sit by the water. Tram 26 puts you at Amsterdam Central in about fifteen minutes.
Repairs, assembly and maintenance in modern homes
IJburg is full of new-build and contemporary housing. Anyone who assumes a new house needs no work is in for a surprise: in these clean, light homes with large windows and open layouts, a sloppy finish shows immediately.
- Assembly and installationIJburg is popular with young families and commuters. Just moved in and need furniture assembled, lights hung or flat-pack cupboards put together? We take care of it.
- Curtains and window dressingTall windows and sliding doors overlooking the water call for solid fixing: heavy curtains, rails or blinds, firmly anchored and hanging straight.
- Walls, painting and finishingGetting walls perfectly smooth, fitting skirting boards, or giving your new-build home a character of its own.
Gardens and fencing due for replacement
The first parts of IJburg have now stood for over twenty years. Many of the gardens and fences laid out at the start are weathered, have subsided, or are simply due for replacement.
Straightening and renewing rotten or storm-prone fencing, restoring your decking by the water, or fully renovating the back garden: we treat the outside of your home as carefully as the inside.
Professional tools
Drilling into hard concrete walls, working with garden timber or fitting precise materials: we work with professional brands such as DeWalt, Festool, Bosch Professional, Makita and Milwaukee. You see it in the finish and in how long the work lasts.
