About this project
The harbour crane in Stavoren gets a full repaint from us. We work on the structure from a cherry picker, so the crane is protected again for years against weather, wind and the Frisian climate. It is an unusual location and a good example of our commercial painting.
Painting a harbour crane in Stavoren: the job
This is not a facade but a harbour crane. In Stavoren the crane gets a full repaint, and that makes it a job that stands out among our houses. We work from the cherry picker and treat the structure carefully, from preparation to finish.
The aim is simple: the crane must be protected again for years against weather, wind and the Frisian climate. For us this is commercial painting just as we do it for small businesses: clear agreements, and the work is done by us ourselves.
What makes a crane at the harbour tricky
Stavoren sits right on the IJsselmeer. Wind and moisture have free rein there, and a steel structure stands unsheltered. Rust and old paint have to be dealt with first, otherwise the new coat will not bond well. You will not see that groundwork later, but it decides whether the paint stays put.
Then there is the height. Many parts cannot be reached from the ground. Also read how we handle painting at height. And because painting outdoors depends on the weather, we take painting weather in Friesland into account.
What we need to know for commercial work
Does your business have an object that is due a repaint? Send photos of the whole thing and of the damaged spots. Give the height if you know it, what is underneath the object and whether the spot is reachable for a cherry picker. Also tell us when the object can be out of use for a while, because that often sets the schedule. A photo from some distance also helps us see where a cherry picker can stand.
The price depends on the condition of the substrate, the access and the cherry picker or scaffolding needed. After the site visit you receive a fixed quote with the agreed work.

The approach
How we tackled it
Inspection: mapping rust and old paint
A structure like this is judged up close. In the photos you can see rust and old paint that need attention first. At the site visit we look at the substrate, the access and where the cherry picker can stand, so the work is planned in advance.
Execution: along the structure by cherry picker
With the cherry picker we reach the parts you cannot easily get to otherwise. Where it is handier, scaffolding goes up too. The work runs in one line from preparation to finish, section by section. Attention to detail counts here just as much as on a house.
Handover: going through it together
At the end of a job we go through the result together with the client. That way you see what has been done and can say straight away if anything is not as you wanted. The aim for this crane: protection against weather and wind for years to come.

"These really are craftsmen who know their trade. Our house badly needed work, it had not been maintained for 10 years. They explained everything well. Once they started they found a lot of wood rot, it was shocking, but thanks to MJA Allround Bouw our house looks sharp and beautiful again."
★★★★★
"This craftsman delivers quality work. Very happy with the job. Agreements are kept and it was finished within the agreed time."

Frequently asked questions
Do you paint objects other than houses?
Yes. This harbour crane is one example, and we also work for small businesses. Tell us what you have and send a few photos, and we will say honestly whether it suits us.
Do you arrange the cherry picker yourselves?
Yes, we use a cherry picker where needed. We also have our own scaffolding, with a fixed price for putting it up and taking it down. The quote shows what your job needs.
Can painting by the water be done all year round?
No, outdoor work depends on temperature, humidity and dry weather. By the water, wind and moisture play an extra part. That is why we agree the schedule with you in advance and move it if the weather does not allow.
