In this neighbourhood every home is an apartment. For latex spraying Bijlmermuseum, the focus is therefore on compact planning and a neat finish in a building with neighbours. As a latex sprayer we come from Haarlem, about 17 km as the crow flies, and charge from €7.95 per m2 for two coats, including masking, hand sanding and filling inside corners. Medium starts at €9.95 and High at €11.95 per m2. The exact price is in the quote.
Ask for a free on-site visit and you will know what the job costs and when it will be done. Below you can read what the CBS (Statistics Netherlands, 2024) says about this neighbourhood and what that means for your spray work.
One hundred per cent apartments: what the CBS (2024) says about Bijlmermuseum
The CBS counts 3,609 homes, 7,770 residents and 4,315 households in Bijlmermuseum. At 14,331 residents per km2, density is about three times the Amsterdam average of 4,950. Urbanity is 1, very strongly urban.
All homes (100 per cent) are multi-family and there are no single-family homes (0 per cent). In Amsterdam as a whole 87 per cent is multi-family. Furthermore, 88 per cent of the homes are rented and 12 per cent owner-occupied, against 70 per cent rented and 30 per cent owner-occupied in the municipality. Of the homes, 94 per cent are more than 10 years old and 6 per cent are newer. The average WOZ value (the municipal property valuation) is €268,000, against €498,000 for the whole municipality.
What does that mean for your walls? Apartments usually have fewer m2 of walls and ceilings, but masking and preparation take relatively a lot of time. For an apartment with 45 m2 of walls and ceilings you pay from 45 x €7.95 = €357.75 (Basic), €447.75 (Medium) or €537.75 (High). Read more about the cost of spraying walls on latex spraying cost per m2.
On average fewer than two people live in a home (7,770 residents in 4,315 households, a little over 1.8). Many residents work outside the home during the day. That suits our working hours: we work seven days a week and can work by appointment with your key, as long as we arrange that together beforehand.
A tip at such a high density: agree the timing with the neighbours on the same landing. A short message that there will be masking material in the hall for a few hours and a spraying machine audible prevents a lot of irritation and helps us work smoothly.

Pros and cons of latex spraying in an apartment
In an apartment the advantages of spraying come mainly through in speed and finish. The machine lays down an even coat in a short time, without roller marks or overlaps. In our experience a room of 12 to 20 m2 is sprayed in 30 to 60 minutes per coat. A complete apartment is therefore often finished within a day.
The drawbacks, to be honest, are also clear. Masking takes the most time, and on a small area that weighs relatively heavily. You need a closed room to keep the mist in, and you must remove your belongings or have them covered. You also cannot stay in the room while it is being sprayed.
Want the full overview? Read pros and cons of latex spraying. There we compare it with rolling and with other ways of painting.
For an apartment the advice is usually simple: choose spraying if you do ceilings and walls together, or if your empty home has to be handed over quickly. For one small wall a roller is often enough.
Has an earlier coat of latex yellowed or started to flake? Then we look at whether sanding is enough or whether the surface must be repaired first. That decides the price more than the number of m2 alone, and we say so beforehand, so you are not surprised by extra costs afterwards.

Wall spraying in a building with neighbours: lift, corridor and hours
In a densely built neighbourhood, communication and planning are half the job. We ask beforehand about the floor, the lift, the place for the van and the working hours your building allows. That prevents the first working day starting with a search for parking or a closed lift.
Inside the home we mask the floor, frames, sockets and skirting boards. The door to the corridor gets extra covering, so the mist does not end up in the stairwell. Airless spraying gives a fine mist that stays in the room as long as the doors are closed. Air your home well afterwards.
For walls in a flat the same rules apply as in a family house, but on a smaller scale. Hand sanding, filling inside corners and spraying two coats remain the basis. Read more on latex spraying on walls.
Do you rent your home? Ask your landlord for permission and which colour you may use. In an empty home, for instance between two tenants, spraying can go fastest.
A practical example of a day in an apartment: in the morning we mask and sand, at the start of the afternoon we spray the first coat and after the necessary drying time the second. Depending on the home and conditions this shifts, so do not plan fixed hours for yourself. We agree a realistic schedule at the visit.
What you do beforehand is limited: take things off the walls, empty cupboards we have to work against and make sure the power is on. For the rest we take over, including clearing up and removing masking material.

Frequently asked questions about latex spraying in Bijlmermuseum
What does it cost to have walls sprayed in Bijlmermuseum?
For an apartment with 45 m2 of walls and ceilings you pay from €357.75 in Basic, €447.75 in Medium and €537.75 in High. The final price depends on the surface and the colour and is in the quote.
Is latex spraying in an apartment in Bijlmermuseum a good idea?
Yes, especially if you have several rooms or the ceilings done. For very small areas masking weighs more heavily. During the free on-site visit we say honestly whether spraying or rolling is smarter for you.
Do I need permission in Bijlmermuseum to have spraying done?
As a tenant you ask your landlord, as an owner you look at the VvE rules (the VvE is the owners' association of the building). It is often about working hours and the use of the lift and corridor. Let us know which rules apply and we will plan accordingly.
Can you work in Bijlmermuseum if I am not at home during the day?
That is possible by arrangement. We agree how we get in and afterwards give a walk-through or photos of the result. You pay only after completion, for instance with an iDEAL payment link.
How long does it take to spray a room in Bijlmermuseum?
In our experience one coat on a room of 12 to 20 m2 takes 30 to 60 minutes of spraying. Masking takes most of the time. A family home of about 120 m2 is often finished in 1 to 2 days, including preparation.
Is spraying faster than rolling?
In our experience latex spraying is up to 5 times faster than traditional rolling, because the airless machine atomises the paint under high pressure. The gain is biggest in an empty home or new build, where there is little to mask.
Do I need to empty my home in Bijlmermuseum?
Not completely. Remove loose items and small furniture; what stays is moved to the middle of the room and covered. We mask floors, windows and frames before spraying.
Which scrub class should I choose?
For a bedroom class 3 (Basic) is often enough. In a hallway, staircase, kitchen or children's room choose class 2 or 1, because you clean those walls more often. Class 1 is the most washable under NEN-EN 13300.
Is VAT included?
The VAT amount is shown in the quote. For homes older than 2 years the reduced 9% VAT rate on painting applies, according to the Dutch Tax Administration.
When and how do I pay?
Only after completion, once we have walked through the work together. You can pay with an iDEAL payment link, by debit card or on invoice; businesses have 14 days.
