Larger households in IJburg-Zuid: what more than 2.4 people per household means for your planning
Statistics Netherlands (CBS, 2024) counts 8,490 residents in IJburg-Zuid, in 3,460 households and 3,374 homes. That is 2.45 residents per household on average. In the whole municipality of Amsterdam it is 931,298 residents in 515,181 households, about 1.8 per household. Households in IJburg-Zuid are clearly larger, which fits a neighbourhood with many families.
The housing mix supports that picture: 27 per cent single-family houses and 73 per cent multi-family homes, against 13 and 87 per cent in Amsterdam as a whole. Ownership is split 43 per cent owned and 57 per cent rented. The average WOZ value (the municipal property valuation) is €623,000, against €498,000 for the whole city. Also, 77 per cent of the homes are older than ten years and 23 per cent are more recent.
What does that mean for a spray job? In a family there are more people touching the walls, more children's things and more wear in places like the hall, the kitchen and the stairs. At the same time you want as few days as possible without usable rooms. That is why we work room by room and leave one or more rooms tidy every day.
An extra advantage of this approach: you do not have to empty the whole house at once. You move things from one room to another, we spray the empty room, and then we swap. For larger households with more furniture, toys and clothes, that makes a big difference to calm and overview.

Planning a spray job around school and work: how to keep the house usable
The average family has few free days. That is why we prefer to plan the work when the children are at school or staying with relatives. We work 7 days a week between 07:30 and 19:00, so a weekend or holiday is possible too.
Step 1 is the visit. We determine the m2, look at the state of the walls and agree which rooms we do in which order. Step 2 is masking and covering floors, frames and furniture. Step 3 is the spraying itself, in two coats. Step 4 is clearing up and the hand-over, where we walk through the work with you.
Children's rooms are best done last or first, depending on whether you need them back quickly. For bedrooms: leave the windows open after spraying, so the smell clears faster. Water-based latex smells much less than turpentine-based lacquer, but a little fresh air always helps.
What are the pros and cons? The advantage is an even, fast finish, which in our experience goes up to 5 times faster than rolling. The drawback is that masking takes time and your rooms must be temporarily empty. Read our explanation of how latex spraying works for the background to airless spraying.

Ceilings and walls in a family house: costs and choices in IJburg-Zuid
Would you like a ceiling sprayed alongside the walls? Then the planning runs in parallel. At having your ceiling sprayed you can read how we mask ceilings and in which order we do the rooms. Ceilings in family houses are often higher and need safe climbing equipment.
A worked example: a family house with 130 m2 of walls and ceilings. With our from-prices, for light colours and one colour per quote:
| Package | From per m2 | From for 130 m2 |
|---|---|---|
| Basic, scrub class 3 | €7.95 | €1,033.50 |
| Medium, scrub class 2 | €9.95 | €1,293.50 |
| High, scrub class 1 | €11.95 | €1,553.50 |
These amounts are from-prices. The final quote uses the real m2 and any extra repairs. You pay only after completion, by iDEAL payment link or by debit card at the van.
Families often choose a mix: High in the hall and kitchen where things are touched a lot, Basic or Medium in bedrooms and the living room. That keeps the total in check and protects the places that work hardest.
Wondering what it costs to have everything done in one go? Add up the m2 per room, choose your package and multiply. During the free visit we check the result and point out places that need extra preparation, such as a cracked wall or a ceiling with old stains.

Frequently asked questions about latex spraying in IJburg-Zuid
Can my children be at home during latex spraying in IJburg-Zuid?
We do not recommend it during the spraying and masking itself. Preferably plan the work for a time when the children are with relatives or at school, and ventilate the room well after spraying. During the visit we discuss what suits your family best.
How many rooms can a latex sprayer do per day in IJburg-Zuid?
That depends on size, preparation and whether the rooms are empty. In our experience a room of 12 to 20 m2 takes about 30 to 60 minutes of spraying per coat. Masking and clearing up come on top. After the visit we give a realistic schedule.
Can I have the living room done first in IJburg-Zuid and the rest later?
Yes. You can choose per room, for example the living room and hall first and the bedrooms later. Each round is a separate appointment with masking and clearing up. If you want to spread the budget, we can split the quote into several parts.
What should I look out for with latex spraying for a children's room in IJburg-Zuid?
Choose a light colour and a scrub class that withstands wiping, such as Medium or High. Let the room air well after spraying before anyone sleeps there. Want to know more about the finish? Ask during the visit and we will advise on your room.
What does latex spraying cost in IJburg-Zuid?
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 IJburg-Zuid is in the quote after a free visit.
How long does it take to spray a room in IJburg-Zuid?
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-Zuid?
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.
