Do you let out a home or live in it yourself? For latex spraying Indische Buurt-Oost our latex sprayer comes to you from Haarlem, 17.2 km as the crow flies. We spray walls and ceilings airless in two coats, including masking, hand sanding and filling of all inside corners. The price starts at €7.95 per m2 and the exact price is in your quote. Because 77 per cent of the homes here are rented (CBS, 2024), many clients ask for a schedule built around a tenant change. During a free on-site visit we discuss the surface area, the colour you want and the day you want the key back.
Rented homes in the Indische Buurt-Oost: the CBS picture and what landlords need
Statistics Netherlands (CBS, 2024) counts 9,900 residents, 5,325 households and 5,093 homes in the Indische Buurt-Oost. Of those homes, 99 per cent are apartments and 1 per cent are houses. The most striking number is the rental share: 77 per cent rented and 23 per cent owner-occupied. For Amsterdam as a whole that is 70 per cent rented and 30 per cent owned. So the neighbourhood has relatively many rented homes.
For a landlord it is about speed and a neutral look. A tenant moves out, the walls show wear, and the next tenant wants a fresh start. In our experience an empty home is the fastest job, because floors and frames are easy to cover and there is no furniture in the way. If you are planning a tenant change, we can often work with a short lead time. Get in touch in good time and we will find the day that fits.
The WOZ value (the municipal property valuation) is €451,000, below the municipal average of €498,000. Of the homes, 95 per cent are older than ten years and 5 per cent are younger. Older walls call for sanding and repair of small cracks, and all of that is in our price per m2.
Is latex spraying cheaper than another approach? For a landlord with several homes, what counts most is the time a home stands empty. A quick job means less vacancy. That is separate from the price per m2, but in practice it often weighs just as heavily. So also ask in the quote for the expected turnaround, then you can plan the tenant change better and do not need to shift the key handover.
For owner-occupied homes, which are 23 per cent of the homes in this neighbourhood, the emphasis is often on a nice finish for yourself or for a sale. There too an even wall is an advantage, because viewings give a well-kept impression sooner.

Worked example for a landlord: what does it cost to refresh a home?
Many landlords ask: what does it cost to have latex sprayed in one home? Take a small two-room home with 70 m2 of walls and ceilings. With our starting prices that looks like this, for light colours and 1 colour per quote:
| Package | Per m2 from | 70 m2 from |
|---|---|---|
| Basic, scrub class 3 | €7.95 | €556.50 |
| Medium, scrub class 2 | €9.95 | €696.50 |
| High, scrub class 1 | €11.95 | €836.50 |
These are starting amounts. The real quote follows after the free on-site visit, because the condition of the walls and the number of small repairs count. For a calm landlord who lets out regularly, Medium often pays off: a higher scrub class keeps the walls tidy for longer.
If you want to know how your home compares with another approach, see the explanation of painting walls white. It says when a white finish is sensible and when another colour works better.
Business clients pay by invoice with a 14-day term. Private customers pay after completion with an iDEAL payment link or debit card at the van.

Airless spraying with Graco in a home where the neighbours can hear
In a neighbourhood with 10,547 residents per km2 (CBS, 2024) you live close together. That calls for working in consultation. We use a Graco airless machine, which atomises the paint under high pressure. That is quieter than you think, but masking and sanding do make noise. So we schedule those parts at normal hours.
If you want to know more about how airless works, read our page on airless wall spraying. It explains in plain language what happens in the spray gun and why a smooth finish results.
Important for a home in a building with several residents: keep the corridor clear, tell the owners' association (VvE) or landlord that work is going on and remove loose items from the hallway. We take only what is needed and leave the rest of the building alone.
We also advise deciding in advance which rooms you want done. At a tenant change that is often all rooms, in a lived-in home sometimes only the living room and bedroom.
What are the disadvantages of latex spraying for a resident? You have to clear or cover the room, and you cannot adjust the work halfway as you can with a brush. On the other hand the finish becomes straight and even. We discuss all this in advance, so you choose with open eyes and do not find out afterwards that a room was unusable for longer than you thought.

Service area around the Indische Buurt-Oost and lacquer spraying for doors and frames
The Indische Buurt-Oost is in Amsterdam East. We have no office in the neighbourhood; we drive to you from Haarlem.

Are the doors and frames due a new coat? We lacquer an interior door from €110, a closed staircase from €650 and an open staircase from €700. Lacquer spraying is bespoke, so those prices are guide prices and you get an exact quote after the visit. You can read more at lacquer spraying.
A tip for rented homes: when choosing a colour, tell the landlord or manager what you plan, especially if you have to hand the home back later in its original state. A light, neutral colour is usually the safest for the next tenant.

What does latex spraying cost in Indische Buurt-Oost?
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 Indische Buurt-Oost is in the quote after a free visit.
How long does it take to spray a room in Indische Buurt-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 Indische Buurt-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.
