Looking for a latex sprayer for a family house on the island? For latex spraying IJburg-West we come to you from Haarlem, 17.2 km as the crow flies. In a neighbourhood where more than a quarter of the homes are single-family houses, we often spray several floors, a hall and a stairwell in one job. We work airless, in two coats, with masking, sanding and filling of inside corners, from €7.95 per m2. The exact price is in your quote. You get a free on-site visit first, so heights and masking work are estimated properly.
Family houses and apartments in IJburg-West: the CBS figures at a glance
According to Statistics Netherlands (CBS, 2024), IJburg-West has 16,340 residents in 7,100 households and 6,830 homes. Of these, 27 per cent are single-family houses and 73 per cent are multi-family homes. That differs from the municipality of Amsterdam, where single-family houses make up 13 per cent. You will find considerably more family houses here than in the city centre.
For spray painting that changes the planning. In a family house the job often involves a stairwell, a high hall, several bedrooms and sometimes an attic. With suitable climbing equipment and good covering we work safely and neatly. In an apartment, which is 73 per cent of the homes, it is all about corners, the corridor and the ceiling edge.
Ownership is mixed: 43 per cent owned and 57 per cent rented. Across Amsterdam it is 30 per cent owned and 70 per cent rented. The average WOZ value (the municipal property valuation) is €604,000, against €498,000 for the whole municipality. Many homeowners want to maintain their home well, and we like to see you do that in one go.
Also, 80 per cent of the homes are older than ten years and 20 per cent are newer. So you will find homes in the neighbourhood that have already had a first coat of paint.
That mix makes the advice personal. A recently built apartment (20 per cent of the homes) mostly needs a new colour, while a ten-year-old family house often shows fingerprints, scuffs and slight yellowing. We take both into account during the visit and explain which preparation suits your home, so you do not pay for work you do not need.

Stairwell, hall and children's rooms: spraying a family house step by step
A family house asks for something different than a flat. We start with a visit in which we measure the heights of the hall and stairwell and decide what is needed to work safely and evenly. A tall wall along a staircase is sprayed with suitable climbing equipment, so the coat is as crisp as in the living room.
Next we mask floors, stair rails, door linings and windows. Children's rooms and bedrooms are done room by room, so you can keep the house liveable. A standard room of 12 to 20 m2 takes 30 to 60 minutes of spraying per coat in our experience, but masking takes most of the time.
Want to know how we spray walls? See wall spraying. There you can read how we handle colour changes, plasterwork and small repairs.
For rooms with heavy use, such as a hall where coats rub against the wall, a higher scrub class is the better choice. Read more at scrub class of latex. A children's room is where fingers, crayons and stickers leave marks faster than on the living room wall.
A walk-through of the rooms with you, a colour choice in daylight and a clear agreement about what we do and do not mask: those are the three things that matter most in a family house. So make a list before the visit with rooms, colours and special wishes, for example a feature wall or a ceiling in a different shade.

What airless wall spraying costs in IJburg-West: a worked example for a family house
A family house with about 120 m2 of walls and ceilings is a common starting point. With our from-prices it looks like this, for light colours and one colour per quote:
| Package | From per m2 | From for 120 m2 |
|---|---|---|
| Basic, scrub class 3 | €7.95 | €954.00 |
| Medium, scrub class 2 | €9.95 | €1,194.00 |
| High, scrub class 1 | €11.95 | €1,434.00 |
These are from-prices. The actual price is set after the visit, because height, the state of the surface and the number of repairs all count. Included are advice on site, a check of the surface, masking, small repairs, hand sanding, filling of inside corners, two coats, clearing up and the hand-over.
Comparing rolling with spraying? The explanation of the difference between rolling and spraying helps. For large wall areas, tall halls and stairwells, spraying generally comes out better, in our experience.
You pay only after completion, for instance through an iDEAL payment link or by debit card at the van.
In a neighbourhood with 43 per cent owner-occupiers, maintenance is often a deliberate choice. Investing in crisp walls is then an investment in the comfort of your own home, not only in how it looks to visitors or buyers.

Frequently asked questions about latex spraying in IJburg-West
Can you also spray a high stairwell in IJburg-West?
Yes, that is possible with suitable climbing equipment and plenty of covering. During the visit we measure the height and explain what the job needs. The stairwell is often the reason a family house needs a little more preparation than an ordinary apartment.
What does it cost to have latex sprayed in IJburg-West for a whole home?
That depends on the number of m2, the height and the package you choose. Our from-prices are €7.95, €9.95 and €11.95 per m2. For a home of about 120 m2 that means from €954, €1,194 or €1,434. The exact price is in your quote.
Can I have my home sprayed in IJburg-West before I move in?
Yes, an empty home is the quickest and easiest to spray. Match the date to your hand-over and tell us when you get the keys. That way we can visit in advance, prepare a quote and plan the work before your furniture is delivered.
Is latex spraying in IJburg-West also suitable for ceilings with a lot of lighting?
It can be, as long as we mask the spots and fittings properly or have them removed. Tell us beforehand how many recessed spots there are and whether they may come out. Then we include the work in the quote. For the ceiling itself we use the same two coats as on the walls.
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-West?
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.
Can I ask for a price via WhatsApp?
Yes. Send a WhatsApp message to +31 6 38048347 with your town, the rooms and the approximate m2; photos help. You can also use the price calculator on this page.
