Painter Boxtel

Boxtel sits on the A2 and the railway line between Den Bosch and Eindhoven, and many international employees of the Eindhoven technology companies have chosen it for exactly that reason: a quarter of an hour on the train, and a garden when they get home. The housing they find ranges from older houses in the historic centre around the Sint-Petrusbasiliek to the expansion neighbourhoods towards the Ladonkseweg, with plenty of 1970s and 1980s family homes in between.

The older the house, the more likely it is to have original softwood frames, fascias and a timber dormer. These need repainting every 5 to 7 years and, when that has been neglected, usually some repair work before they can be painted at all.

Kivits Vastgoedonderhoud is a registered Dutch painting and property maintenance company (KVK 94153965) based in 's-Hertogenbosch. Founder Leroy Kivits and his team communicate comfortably in English, so expats and international homeowners get the same clear advice, written quote and 5-year warranty as our Dutch clients.

Liempde and Lennisheuvel are the rural cores of the municipality, with detached houses and former farmhouses that have traditional joinery: wide frames, barn doors, shutters and timber cladding. This kind of woodwork rewards a painter who knows how it was built and where it holds water. We have completed several projects here that combined a full repaint with wood rot repair, an approach that adds years to the life of the timber.

We repair with two-component epoxy, which bonds with the sound wood, does not shrink and is shaped to the original profile. After curing it is sanded, primed and painted with the rest of the frame, so the repair is invisible.

Every job starts with a free inspection. We walk around the house with you, point out what we see and explain the difference between a frame that needs attention this year and one that can wait. Within 48 hours you receive an itemised written quote, and we plan the work as one continuous project so you are not juggling several contractors. See our exterior painting page for the full process.

For the newer houses in Boxtel the question is usually the interior: spray-finished walls and ceilings before moving in, or a fresh colour scheme after a renovation. We also fit HR++ insulating glass in existing frames, which is worth considering in the 1970s homes that still have their original double glazing.

From Boxtel we work daily in both directions: towards Den Bosch and towards Eindhoven, as well as in Sint-Michielsgestel and Meierijstad, without a travel surcharge. Dutch version of this page: Schilder Boxtel.
