Contractor in Berkum, on the east side of Zwolle

For a contractor in Berkum it is about twelve minutes' drive from the Graham Bellstraat, so Shahiro can quickly come round to take a look. Berkum lies on the east side of Zwolle, against the river Vecht. The district grew around an old village and was mainly expanded from the sixties onwards. You will find terraced houses, semi-detached houses and detached homes with a generous garden. That makes Berkum a district where a lot of extending and modernising goes on. Daal Constructions does carpentry and renovation here, from an extension to new window frames.

Homes from the sixties and seventies

Houses from that period often have a solid base but outdated frames and mediocre insulation. New frames with insulating glass and an insulated extension bring the home up to date. For larger openings in the facade a steel beam goes in, sized by a structural engineer.

During the work such an opening is supported with steel props, so the structure above stays safely in place. Then the beam goes in and the new glazed door or window is fitted. It sounds like a big intervention, but with good preparation the facade is open only briefly.

• Replacing frames and sliding doors
• Extension with a new foundation
• Opening up the rear wall with propping

Contractor Berkum for the garden

With a generous garden, a timber canopy or a garden room is a logical step. We build it to measure, to suit the house. In having a garden room built you can read what to look out for.

A canopy in Douglas fir or a similar timber lasts for years if it is built properly. We pay attention to solid anchoring, a roof with enough fall and timber that stays clear of the ground. Want decking or a balustrade with it? Then we include that in one go.
