Contractor in Helmond
one clear point of contact
English-speaking renovation contractor for Helmond and the east of Brainport.
One contact who speaks English, one team for building, electrics and installation, and the price and planning in writing before we start. That is how we renovate homes in Helmond, from a new bathroom to a full renovation.
Renovating in Helmond,
with one team
Helmond is part of the Brainport region, and more and more international families choose it for the space: bigger houses and gardens than in Eindhoven, for less money. Many of those houses are from the 1990s and 2000s, and they are now at the age where the kitchen, bathroom and finish are due for replacement, or the family needs more room.
We take on full renovations, build extensions, fit dormers, add extra floors and renovate bathrooms. Building, electrics and plumbing are in our own hands, and Joeri Boers is your contact, in English.

Helmond's houses, old and new
Helmond has an old centre around the castle, with older houses and small streets, and a ring of neighbourhoods built in the second half of the twentieth century, such as Mierlo-Hout, Stiphout, Rijpelberg and Brouwhuis. On the edges are the two big newer districts: Dierdonk from the 1990s and Brandevoort, built from the late 1990s onwards in a traditional, village-like style.
Brandevoort is a special case. The neighbourhood was designed with strict rules on how houses look, so a dormer or an extension there has to fit that style. That is not a reason not to build, but it does mean the design has to be right before the permit application goes in. In Dierdonk and the older neighbourhoods, the rules are more standard.
Helmond is about an hour from our base in Waalwijk. Because we take on one large project at a time, we plan larger jobs here, such as a full renovation, an extension or a roof extension, where our team is on your site every working day.

Your home renovation in Helmond
The projects we are asked about most in Helmond.
Extension on a Helmond family home
In Dierdonk, Mierlo-Hout and Stiphout the gardens usually have room for an extension of 3 to 4 metres, often permit-free. Count on €48,000 to €85,000, fully finished. In Brandevoort the extension has to match the neighbourhood's style, which we take into account in the design. See our home extension page.
Bathroom and kitchen in 1990s and 2000s houses
Houses in Dierdonk and Brandevoort are 20 to 25 years old, and the original bathroom is often the first thing owners replace. A complete bathroom costs €9,000 to €16,000 and takes two to three weeks. See our bathroom renovation page.
Dormer or extra floor in Helmond
A dormer on the back roof gives you a bedroom or office from €6,500. For houses with a flat roof in Brouwhuis and Rijpelberg, a roof extension adds a complete floor, from €70,000.
House types in Helmond we renovate most
Every part of Helmond has its own typical houses.
Helmond, area by area
Three parts of Helmond and what a renovation there usually involves.
Brandevoort
Building within the style rules
Brandevoort
Building within the style rulesBrandevoort was designed as a traditional Brabant town, with brick facades, pitched roofs and a strict set of rules on how houses look. An extension or dormer here has to fit that style in materials, proportions and colours, and the municipality checks it. We design with those rules from the start, so the permit application is right the first time. Inside, many houses are now 20 to 25 years old and ready for a new bathroom and kitchen.
Dierdonk
1990s homes at a good age for an upgrade
Dierdonk
1990s homes at a good age for an upgradeDierdonk is a 1990s neighbourhood with a lot of family homes and green space. The houses are solid, reasonably insulated and at the age where the original bathroom, toilet and kitchen are due. Extensions work well here because the gardens are usable and the rules are standard. Adding a dormer for an extra bedroom is also common.
Mierlo-Hout, Stiphout & the centre
Older houses, more hidden work
Mierlo-Hout, Stiphout & the centre
Older houses, more hidden workIn the older parts of Helmond the houses are from before and just after the war. They have more character and also more hidden work: old wiring, old pipes, floors without insulation. We survey that first and plan a renovation in the right order: installations and structure, then insulation, then the finish.
