Quality Refurbishment

Italian craftsmanship in Haarlem

Plasterer and painter in Haarlem, Amsterdam and the areaSee it first.
Then we build it.

We’re Salvo and Andrea, two Italians in Haarlem with a passion for building. We measure every room, rebuild it in 3D and send you an itemised quote, so you know what we’ll do, what it costs and when it’ll be done before any work starts.

i serviziServices

From a single wall to the whole house.

We work in houses and apartments, from a room that needs refreshing to a complete renovation. Whatever the job, the method is the same: survey, design, a clear quote.

Wall removal

Opening up the kitchen to the living room, or turning two small rooms into one? Before anything is demolished, we check that the wall isn’t load-bearing and what runs through it, then design the new layout.

il metodoMethod

Quality starts on the drawing board.

Every job follows the same six steps. No guesswork and no surprises halfway through: we decide everything up front, together, and put it in writing.

Start with step one
  1. Step 01il contatto

    Tell us about the job

    Fill in the form or send us an email. Tell us which rooms, what you’d like to change and when. Got photos or a floor plan? Send them along.

    We get back to you to book the survey

  2. Step 02il rilievo

    Survey and measurements

    We visit and measure every room with laser tools, checking the condition of walls, plaster and damp. Already have measurements or a floor plan? We start from those.

    Measured survey and photos

  3. Step 03il progetto

    Design in 3D

    We rebuild your rooms in a 3D model and use it to decide together: new walls, colours, finishes. You see the result before any work starts.

  4. Step 04il preventivo

    Itemised quote

    From the model we take the exact quantities, square metre by square metre, and send you a document with every task, material, cost and timing.

  5. Step 05il cantiere

    The works

    We work to the agreed schedule, protecting floors and furniture. You get updates with photos and notes, without having to chase us.

    Progress updates

  6. Step 06la consegna

    Handover

    We check every part of the job with you, clean up and leave you a file with materials, colour codes and product sheets, handy for any future touch-up.

il cantiere digitaleThe digital worksite

We solve surprises on screen, not on your walls.

For every project we build a 3D model of your rooms, and the quote comes from that model. Try it with this sample room: add the wall, change colour and finish, and watch costs and timing change.

Example · Living room 6.00 × 4.50 m

Loading the model…
  1. 01

    From survey to model

    The measurements we take in your home become an accurate 3D model: walls, openings, heights and the defects to fix.

  2. 02

    From model to quantities

    Square metres of plaster, skim coat and paint are calculated from the geometry, net of doors and windows.

  3. 03

    From quantities to quote

    Every line has its quantity and its price. Change an option and you immediately see how costs and timing change.

chi siamoAbout us

Two friends, one dream.

We’re Salvo and Andrea, two Italian friends who go way back. For years we worked office jobs, while what we both really loved was making things with our hands: restoring, building, bringing old rooms back to life. So we stopped dreaming and started Quality Refurbishment in Haarlem. Now we do the work together, from the first measurement to the last coat of paint, and we kept one good habit from our office years: think it through before you start.

From survey to handover

Leads the work on site: checks the walls and ceilings, chooses materials and solutions, and keeps an eye on the quality of every coat, right up to the handover.

Design and quotesil progetto

Andrea

From code to the building site

Turns the survey into a 3D model and calculates quantities, costs and timing from it. Looks after quotes, schedules and updates, so you always know where things stand, then works alongside Salvo on site.

  • 3D model and design views
  • Quantities and quotes
  • Scheduling and progress updates

Measure before you estimate

Every figure in the quote comes from a measurement, not a hunch.

Design before you demolish

Decisions are made in the model, where changing your mind costs nothing.

Put it all in writing

Tasks, materials, timing and costs: in black and white, before we start.

le domandeFAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Can’t find your answer? Email us: one of the two of us will reply personally.

Can I send you my own measurements?

Of course. If you have a floor plan or have measured the rooms yourself, attach it to the form and we’ll start from there. Before work starts we always check the key dimensions on site, so the quote stays reliable.

What’s in the design document?

3D views of your rooms, the bill of quantities with a price for every item, the planned materials and a schedule. Clear enough to compare and decide calmly.

Can a wall be removed or moved?

Often, yes, if it isn’t load-bearing. We check that first, along with what runs through it (pipes, ducts). For now we only take on walls that aren’t load-bearing. If it can be done, we show it to you in the model, with costs and timing.

How much does plastering or painting cost per m²?

With us, plastering walls ready for paint costs €19.95 per m² and painting walls in two coats €17.95 per m², including VAT and standard materials. The total depends on the surfaces and the finish, so we measure before we estimate: the quote lists every item with its quantity and unit price, with no vague lump sums.

How soon do I get the quote?

Usually within a few days of the survey: the time it takes to build the model and check the quantities. For larger projects we agree a date during the survey.

Where do you work?

In Haarlem and Amsterdam, and everywhere around them: Heemstede, Bloemendaal, Zandvoort, Hoofddorp and the rest of Haarlemmermeer, Amstelveen, Diemen, Zaandam, IJmuiden and Velsen, Beverwijk and Heemskerk. For larger projects we also travel elsewhere in the Netherlands.
