What Schildersbedrijf Van der Maar B.V. does

Schildersbedrijf Van der Maar B.V. (trading as vdMaar) is a Dutch B.V. (private limited company) painting and property maintenance contractor headquartered at Koldingweg 15, Groningen, and operating since 1947. The company delivers an integrated suite of four core services: glas- en schilderwerk (general painting and glazing), industrieel spuitwerk (industrial spray painting using an EU-compliant spray booth with drying room), houtrotherstel (wood rot repair using 2-component epoxy systems), and restauratie (restoration of monumental buildings using traditional techniques such as gilding, marbling, and wood imitation). It also holds a CVW (Centrum Veilig Wonen) recognized damage expert certification for earthquake damage repair in the Groningen gas-extraction region and serves as a dealer of BENGglas vacuum insulation glass (U=0.40), a high-performance energy-efficient glazing product.

The company serves four primary customer segments: housing corporations (woningcorporaties) and V.V.E. owners associations, healthcare institutions (zorginstellingen), private individuals (particulieren), and managers of monumental buildings. Its services are sold direct via phone (050-5494171) and a website contact form, with project-based or contractual maintenance delivery performed by its own workforce in the Groningen and Drenthe regions. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the company operates under OnderhoudNL general terms and conditions for both consumer and business markets.

Since 2025, vdMaar has been fully integrated into the Buursema family, with Buursema Bouw as parent company alongside sister companies HBI installatie (Tweede Exloërmond) and Eldering (Hoogkerk). The group affiliation provides cross-referral channels and shared scale benefits, but operational independence is retained. Headcount per firmographics is 5 employees; no revenue figures, funding, or M&A activity beyond the 2025 group integration are disclosed. Distribution is entirely direct (on-site service delivery), with no reseller or distributor model.
