For starters, there\u2019s the charming building which dates to 1720. The couple rescued it from deterioration and lovingly restored it over many years. Then there is the cottage, another \u2018rescue\u2019 project, which was moved from another farm in Purmo to the Bock\u2019s property. Finally, there is the summer cottage dating to 1850. It was owned by Marina&#8217;s grandmother and is where she spent her childhood summers. Marc and Marina&#8217;s father washed and painted the summer cottage\u2019s roof 25 years ago. Time constraints prevented them from doing the job themselves and is the reason they asked for professional help.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; We received a brochure in the post and contacted AMP. From the brochure and call, we concluded they work quickly and are service-oriented. Also, work safety is of utmost importance to them, and they work with an aerial work platform, which means they don\u2019t damage roofs while working, say Marina and Marc.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-810\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cre.fi\/amp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/takvard-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1771\" height=\"1181\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ampservices.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/takvard-2.jpg 1771w, https:\/\/www.ampservices.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/takvard-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ampservices.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/takvard-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ampservices.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/takvard-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ampservices.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/takvard-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1771px) 100vw, 1771px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Time takes its toll on old houses.

However, a roof project is weather-dependent. If it\u2019s too hot, the paint dries too quickly and will crack easily, and if it rains, the paint won&#8217;t dry at all. Flexibility is key to a successful project, which means AMP professionals sometimes work long hours to get the best result.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; It\u2019s clear that they are passionate about their jobs and take professional pride in their work. They have a real sense of responsibility and cover the windows before they start painting. I know from experience that you can&#8217;t paint in the rain and the guys made sure they finished before the rain started. We are satisfied with their work and can recommend AMP to anyone who\u2019s looking for quality workmanship, smiled Marina.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Attention!
