Just bought a new home? For latex spraying IJburg-Oost we come as your latex sprayer from Haarlem, 17.2 km as the crow flies. According to Statistics Netherlands (CBS), every home in this neighbourhood was built in the last ten years, and 68 per cent are owner-occupied. That often means a fresh start with your own choice of colour. We spray walls and ceilings airless in two coats, including masking, sanding and filling of inside corners, from €7.95 per m2. The exact price is in your quote, after a free on-site visit to your home.
A young neighbourhood of mostly owner-occupied homes: what CBS 2024 shows about IJburg-Oost
With 1,130 residents, 515 households and 491 homes, IJburg-Oost is a small neighbourhood. The CBS figures (2024) show that 100 per cent of the homes were built in the last ten years and 0 per cent are older. That is a sharp contrast with Amsterdam as a whole, where 89 per cent are older than ten years. The density of 2,836 residents per km2 is below the municipal average of 4,950, and urbanity is moderate (3).
The ownership picture differs from the city. 68 per cent of the homes are owned and 32 per cent rented, while across Amsterdam it is 30 per cent owned and 70 per cent rented. The average WOZ value (the municipal property valuation) is €641,000, against €498,000 for the whole municipality. Owner-occupiers often choose their colour, finish and materials with care.
For your wall spraying this has three consequences. The walls are recent, so we have less to repair. You choose the colour yourself, so we advise on light, well-covering shades. And with 91 per cent multi-family homes and 9 per cent single-family houses, you will mostly be working in an apartment, where masking and access take the most time.
Because the neighbourhood is small, neighbours often know each other better than in a large district. That is handy: a short message about the spray day avoids surprises, and you can plan the job together with a neighbour so we can do several homes in one visit. We are happy to prepare a joint schedule, with separate quotes per home.

New home, your own colour: how we handle new-build walls in IJburg-Oost
A new-build home is usually handed over white or light. If you do not like that, or you want a ceiling in the same colour as the wall, spraying is an efficient solution. We begin by checking the surface. Are the walls dry and clean? Are there snagging points left by the builder? Is there dust on the wall that we have to wipe off? Only then do we mask and spray the first coat.
On our page about latex spraying in a new build you can read which steps we follow in a new home and what you can prepare yourself.
Is spraying latex in a new home worth the effort? That depends on your plans. If you want to leave the home as it is, no. If you want the whole home to get a character of its own, it often pays off. Changing from white to a dark shade takes more coats and falls outside our standard price, which assumes light colours and one colour per quote. If you still want a dark colour, ask for a tailored quote. In new build, light, warm shades usually give a lot of calm and daylight, and they show off the crisp walls well.
We fill all inside corners, new build included. A properly filled corner prevents hairline cracks from appearing in the paint later, especially because a new building can still settle in the first years.

The price always includes advice on site, a check of the surface, masking of windows and frames, small repairs, hand sanding, filling, two coats, clearing up and hand-over.
As an owner you can ask more questions in advance. Why does High cost more than Basic? The difference lies in the quality of the latex: a higher scrub class withstands cleaning better. In a kitchen or hallway that pays off over time.
You pay only after completion and after we have walked through the work together. That can be by iDEAL payment link, by debit card at the van or, for businesses, by invoice with 14 days to pay.

Service area from Haarlem: IJburg-West, IJburg-Zuid and lacquer for doors and frames
We work from Haarlem and have no office in the neighbourhood. Do you have family or a second home nearby? Then see latex spraying IJburg-Zuid and latex spraying IJburg-West. An overview of the city is on latex spraying Amsterdam.
New homes often have many white interior doors and frames. If you want them lacquered, we charge from €110 per interior door, from €650 for a closed staircase and from €700 for an open staircase, with an exact quote after the visit. Read more at lacquer spraying.

Frequently asked questions about latex spraying in IJburg-Oost
Is latex spraying in IJburg-Oost really necessary in a new home?
Not necessarily. It is a choice for a new colour, a more even result or a ceiling that matches the wall. If your walls have just been handed over and you like the colour, you do not need to spray. We give honest advice during the visit.
When can I have latex sprayed in IJburg-Oost after hand-over?
As soon as the home is clean and dry enough and the builder has finished the snagging work. Preferably plan the visit before you move in, when the home is empty. At hand-over, ask whether the walls have hardened sufficiently.
How do I arrange access if I live in an apartment in IJburg-Oost?
As general advice: tell your VvE (the owners' association of the building) that work is planned and ask how to bring materials upstairs, for example by lift. We bring a spray machine and covering in a van. A short agreement in advance prevents unnecessary disturbance in the building.
Which latex do you recommend for a family home in IJburg-Oost?
For living rooms and bedrooms Basic is often enough. For the hall, kitchen and children's room we recommend Medium or High. During the visit we look together at which rooms are touched most, and choose the scrub class that fits.
How long does it take to spray a room in IJburg-Oost?
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 IJburg-Oost?
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.
