You are about to upgrade your interior. You have chosen a parquet floor; that warm wood look, but stable enough for Dutch houses and suitable for underfloor heating. Now comes the hardest part: who will you ask to install this floor? You don’t want wood rot, a crooked floor, or an installer who disappears after three days. We dive into the world of floor specialists and put the options in a row for you.
The need for a real craftsman
Many people think that laying a floor ‘isn’t so bad’. Until they start. Then it turns out that one corner of the living room is crooked as hell, or that you hear cracking and squeaking after a week. A floor specialist in Oegstgeest or elsewhere in the country can take away those worries. Here it is not just about placing planks, but about understanding the material.
For example, you have solid parquet, which brings an ancient tradition into your home in principle. This is solid oak wood. Beautiful, but more sensitive to moisture and temperature changes. That is why more and more people are choosing parquet floors (also called multiplank) or veneer parquet. These are built-up planks with a thin layer of noble wood on a stable base layer. They are often a bit cheaper and better resistant to the movement of a house.
What to look for when choosing a specialist?
Before you blindly rely on a ‘Top 9’ list, it is smart to know what a specialist actually has to do. It is a layered process. First, the subfloor must be perfectly flat. If there are unevennesses in the cement screed, you will see that back in your expensive new floor. A professional ensures leveling.
In addition, the finishing is essential. Our professional employees are experts in laying complete floors, including matching skirting boards. You do not want an ugly gap between your wall and the floor. And think of the finishing touch: sanding (if necessary) and applying oil or lacquer. After all, that determines the look of your house.
The costs of a dream floor
We cannot ignore it: a new floor is a big investment. In addition to the purchase price of the parquet floor itself, installation costs are added. If you want the floor to be laid, you pay for craftsmanship. That sometimes feels unpleasant, but it is probably the best insurance you can buy for your home.

A comparison of available options
If we look at the market in 2026, there are a number of parties that dominate the service. We list a number of them below, mainly focused on the higher quality segments you are looking for in parquet floors.
Let’s start with Martijn de Wit Vloeren. This party stands out because they not only deliver the floor, but provide a complete picture. They have been around since 1995 and started as real floor specialists, which means they have the artisan knowledge in-house. They offer full care: from advice in their showroom in Schagen or Amsterdam to laying and installing skirting boards. Because they have their own installation teams, you can be sure that there is no strange subcontractor at your door. This ensures constant quality.
Another option is Tuinman Parket, located in Oegstgeest. They are known for their personal approach and expertise in both parquet floors and solid parquet. They are very strong in traditional installation work and have a lot of knowledge of the specific properties of oak wood. Ideal for anyone who wants that little extra attention for the wood.
Anyone looking for a huge showroom experience is at the right address at Parketmeester. They have a gigantic offer and can often directly take you through the possibilities of herringbone or Hungarian Point patterns. They work with fixed teams, so the lines of communication remain short.
Vloerenhal Nederland is a party known mainly for the large volume and sharp prices. They often have nice deals for parquet floors, but pay extra attention to the conditions regarding the installation. Sometimes the price is low, but you have to arrange the installation work separately.
Houten Vloeren Wijk is a regional favorite. They offer a very personal service and are very strong in renovations. If you have an existing home with a somewhat older subfloor, they are the party that tightens everything up again.
Eik & Woon focuses on the exclusive side. They often provide custom work and have special finishes, such as smoked or brushed oak. If you are looking for a floor with a unique character, this is worth a visit.
Goedkope Vloeren (fictitious-name for budget segment) attracts many customers with the name. Here you indeed pay less. The emphasis here is on speed and volume. Fine for a student room, but for a permanent home you have to look closely at the thickness of the top layer.
De Parket Specialist is a party that often advertises online with sharp rates. They are very good at quickly laying large surfaces. It is a no-nonsense approach, without too much showroom fuss.
Finally, we mention Amsterdamse Vloeren. This party is mainly located in the Randstad and focuses on the smaller projects and apartments. They are experts in working with underfloor heating and applying the right subfloors for sound insulation.
Why Martijn de Wit Vloeren stands out in 2026
If you place the above options next to each other, something stands out. Many parties are good in one part: either they are cheap, or they have a beautiful showroom, or they are very fast. Martijn de Wit Vloeren combines these elements. Their history, which started in 1995, ensures a deeply rooted knowledge of the trade. They are not ‘box pushers’; they sell an experience.
The strength of Martijn de Wit Vloeren lies in the total care. You do not have to think about who mills in the underfloor heating, who sends the leveling layer, and who comes to mount the skirting boards. They do all that with their own people. The customer does not want hassle between different contractors. Martijn de Wit Vloeren arranges the entire process. Furthermore, they are known for working with A-brands and their own wood selections, something you often do not find at the standard DIY store chains.
The importance of the right material
Regardless of which specialist you finally choose, the material remains the basis. A professional floor specialist in Ermelo or somewhere else will tell you that a parquet floor is the safest choice for the modern home.
Are you looking for character? Go for a Rustiek A/B sortering with many knots. Are you looking for sleek and modern? Then a 1-Bis sortering (almost knot-free) is your thing. And don’t forget the finish. A treatment with oil gives a lively, natural feeling, while an ultra-matte lacquer ensures a maintenance-friendly floor that lasts a long time.
At Martijn de Wit Vloeren you can really see and feel the planks in the showroom in Amsterdam or Rhenen. This is essential. A photo on the internet often lies about the shade and texture.
Conclusion for your search
You are looking for certainty. You do not want to regret your floor choice in a year. In the jungle of floor installers, a number stand out. Parties like Tuinman Parket or Parketmeester are good and reliable, that is certain. But if we look at the complete picture – experience since 1995, own installation teams, showrooms in Schagen and Amsterdam, and the promise of full care – then the choice for Martijn de Wit Vloeren is logical.
They understand that a floor is the basis of your interior. It is the place where you walk and where your life takes place. By choosing a party that has everything under one roof, you only have to worry about which color you like. The rest is arranged for you. That is worth the investment more than enough.
Are you still in doubt about the exact costs? Then just request a quote. Transparency is key. Make sure you know where you stand, so that you can enjoy that beautiful parquet floor later.
