In January 2003 we asked Jos van der Burg to convert a shoe store into a hair salon. Because Jos is talented in all areas and we are aware of his ability, we have placed all responsibility in his hands.
First, the old shop was dismantled, including two old chimneys, which meant that the roof also had to be restored to its original condition. All pipes for electricity, gas, water and the sewerage were laid, part of the flat roof and the roof covering were renewed and a skylight was installed.
Jos was also responsible for plastering and insulating. Actually, all work was performed by him. When it turned out that the pipes for the upstairs apartment had to remain accessible, Jos even designed a special ceiling that is attractive and functional.
And after all this hard work, we could open!
Because the collaboration was so perfect, we asked Jos to convert the top floor from a shoe warehouse into a beautiful apartment.
And we succeeded …… a room transformed into a kitchen with all the trimmings, a wall cut out and the door frame installed so that a beautiful passage was created to the balcony, bathroom installed and much more.
Eventually, a beautiful, attractive apartment was created where once there were only boxes.
The experience with Jos during these two jobs was so good and I was also very satisfied with his craftsmanship, that I commissioned in January 2004 to place a fireplace in my house, which he placed with the same craftsmanship and the same creativity.
For me he is the right person for a renovation job.
