Apartments in the Haarlemmerbuurt: what the CBS figures mean for spraying work
According to the CBS figures (Statistics Netherlands, 2024), 9,180 people live in the Haarlemmerbuurt, spread over 5,765 households and 5,686 homes. Almost everything is apartments: 98 per cent, against 87 per cent in the whole of latex spraying Amsterdam. Family houses are barely present at 2 per cent.
The rental share is 70 per cent and the owner-occupied share 29, which closely resembles the municipal picture of 70 per cent rented and 30 per cent owner-occupied. The average WOZ value (the municipal property valuation) is €610,000, more than 22 per cent above the €498,000 of the whole municipality. According to the CBS neighbourhood division, Planciusbuurt-Noord, the Westelijke eilanden and Westerdokseiland belong to this area, among others.
All homes are older than ten years (100 per cent); new build of the last ten years barely counts here. For a latex sprayer that means walls and ceilings with many coats of paint, hairline cracks and holes from shelves and pictures. That is why we sand everything by hand, repair small damage and fill every inside corner before the first coat goes on.
With 16,948 residents per km2 (Amsterdam: 4,950), every square metre counts here. In compact rooms masking is at least as important as the spraying itself. A well-prepared room gives a sharp result, with crisp lines along frames and skirting boards.

Spraying walls and finishing ceilings in an upstairs apartment in the Haarlemmerbuurt
In a neighbourhood with almost only apartment buildings, the work often starts at the front door. We go through the route to your home, protect the stairs and the corridor and bring the material up in one go. If needed, you ask your VvE (the owners' association of an apartment building) or landlord for permission yourself.
Inside we mask frames, windows, sockets and the floor. If you also want the ceiling renewed, read on the page about spray painting ceilings how we go about it and why a sprayed ceiling turns out so even.
The spraying itself is quick. In our experience airless spraying is up to 5 times faster than rolling, and one coat on a room of 12 to 20 m2 takes 30 to 60 minutes. So most of the time goes into preparation, not the paintwork.
A home that is empty or largely cleared goes smoothest. In a lived-in apartment we move furniture to the middle and cover it. That keeps dust down, and you can sit in your own living room again once the paint is dry enough.
In high humidity or low temperatures we adjust the planning. Latex then dries more slowly, and a second coat on a still damp first coat gives a less attractive result.
Mind the finish: for a kitchen, hall or stair landing with heavy use we recommend a higher scrub class (the washability rating under NEN-EN 13300, where class 1 is the most washable). You can find more at scrub class of latex.

What does a latex sprayer cost in the Haarlemmerbuurt? Worked example and working area
What does it cost to have latex sprayed in the Haarlemmerbuurt? Take a three-room apartment with 70 m2 of wall and 30 m2 of ceiling, 100 m2 in total.

We are not based in the neighbourhood; we come to you from Haarlem. That applies to the surrounding areas too. If you are working on several homes, also look at latex spraying Jordaan and spray painting in Grachtengordel-West. We like to plan neighbouring addresses one after the other, so you need not count on extra travel costs.
You need to prepare little for your visit. Remove fragile items, make sure we can get to the walls and tell us whether there is a lift. We are open seven days a week from 07:30 to 19:00, so we can usually find a moment that suits you.

Lacquer spraying next to your latex work: doors and frames in the Haarlemmerbuurt
A fresh wall next to a yellowed door stands out immediately. That is why many residents combine latex work with a new coat of lacquer on doors, frames and stair rails. You discuss both at the same visit, so you get one clear quote.
Lacquer spraying an interior door can be from €110 per door; a closed staircase from €650 and an open staircase from €700. Lacquer spraying is bespoke work, so you first get an indicative price and, after the visit, an exact quote. All the details are on the page lacquer spraying.
When planning, allow for the drying time of water-based lacquer: you can only use the doors normally again after some time. Feel free to ask what is handiest in your situation, for example doing the doors first and the walls afterwards.
Want to know which brands we use? We work with Sigma Coatings, Caparol and Sikkens, among others, and spray with Graco equipment.
Frequently asked questions about latex spraying in Haarlemmerbuurt
Do you also come to an apartment without a lift in the Haarlemmerbuurt?
Yes, that is no problem. We carry our equipment up ourselves and protect the stairs and corridor. Do tell us beforehand which floor you live on, so we can plan material and time properly. We arrange parking in consultation with you.
How long does latex spraying take in the Haarlemmerbuurt for an average apartment?
That differs per home. In our experience spraying one coat on a room of 12 to 20 m2 takes 30 to 60 minutes. Masking and sanding take most of the time. After the visit we give a schedule that fits your home.
Is VvE permission needed to have spraying done in the Haarlemmerbuurt?
For work inside your own home usually not, but for work in shared areas such as a stairwell it is. Check your deed of division or ask your VvE or landlord. We are happy to think along on the planning, so the neighbours have as little nuisance as possible.
What is the difference between the Basic, Medium and High packages for my home in the Haarlemmerbuurt?
The difference lies in the quality of the latex and the scrub class. Basic is standard latex (class 3), Medium is class 2 and High is high end latex with class 1. All three get two coats. Which package suits the use of your rooms we discuss at the visit, so you do not pay more than necessary.
What does latex spraying cost in Haarlemmerbuurt?
Spraying walls and ceilings starts from €7.95 (Basic, scrub class 3), €9.95 (Medium, scrub class 2) or €11.95 (High, scrub class 1) per m2, based on light colours and one colour. The exact price for Haarlemmerbuurt is in the quote after a free visit.
How long does it take to spray a room in Haarlemmerbuurt?
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 Haarlemmerbuurt?
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.
