Latex spraying Museumkwartier involves two kinds of client: owners who want to freshen up their own apartment and landlords who want a quick handover. According to Statistics Netherlands (CBS, 2024), 41 per cent of homes are owner-occupied and 59 per cent rented. As a latex sprayer we come from Haarlem, about 17 kilometres as the crow flies. We charge from €7.95 per m2 for walls and ceilings, in two coats and after hand sanding. You first get a free on-site visit and then a quote with the exact price, so you can compare and decide for yourself.
The Museumkwartier in figures: apartments with a high WOZ value
Statistics Netherlands (CBS, 2024) counts 12,735 residents, 6,920 households and 7,081 homes in the Museumkwartier. Density is 9,691 residents per km2, almost twice as high as in Amsterdam (4,950). The CBS area includes Vondelpark-Oost, the Concertgebouwbuurt and the Cornelis Schuytbuurt.
The average WOZ value (the municipal property valuation) is €1,133,000, more than twice the municipal average of €498,000. Of the homes, 94 per cent are multi-family and 6 per cent single-family. There are slightly more homes than households, a difference of 161.
Nearly all homes, 99 per cent, are older than 10 years and 1 per cent are newer. That is the same age profile as in many inner-city neighbourhoods, and slightly older than the Amsterdam picture of 89 per cent.
What is the consequence for a latex sprayer? The jobs differ greatly. An owner looks at durability and appearance, a landlord at speed and a predictable price. We make both possible with the same fixed starting prices, and only adjust the package.
A small calculation from the figures: 12,735 residents across 6,920 households is almost two people per household. These are therefore often homes for one or two people, where a stylish, calm finish often matters more than a large number of square metres. That makes a neat, even wall all the more visible.

Owner or landlord: how to choose your package in the Museumkwartier
With 41 per cent owner-occupied and 59 per cent rented, both groups are well represented. An owner often chooses Medium or High for the walls that are most in view, because they continue living in the home. A landlord usually chooses Basic, because the home has to look tidy again after every tenant without costs mounting.
What is the difference? Basic is scrub class 3, Medium class 2 and High class 1 (the scale of NEN-EN 13300, where class 1 is the most washable). The lower the number, the easier the wall is to clean. With children, pets or a busy kitchen a higher class is useful. In a guest room Basic is enough.
For anyone handing over an empty home: an empty home is quickest, because masking takes less time. In our practice one coat in a room of 12 to 20 m2 is sprayed in 30 to 60 minutes, so handing over a home often fits into a day.

Want to push the cost down further? Then see affordable latex spraying for smart choices. One tip: have the walls that see little wear done in Basic and invest in the hall and living room.
With an owner-occupied home in this neighbourhood, owners often ask us for advice on colour. The price assumes light colours, and our advice is to test a patch of wall first before ordering a whole room. That prevents a shade looking different in real light than in the shop. For rentals a neutral light colour is usually the wisest choice.

Frequently asked questions about latex spraying in Museumkwartier
Can you spray latex in the Museumkwartier in an apartment with a shared stairwell?
Yes. We cover shared floors and keep the hallway tidy. Consult the VvE (the owners' association) or landlord beforehand if they have rules on working hours or the lift. Afterwards we clear everything up and walk through the work together.
What does latex spraying in the Museumkwartier cost for a landlord with several homes?
We charge per home with the same starting prices per m2: €7.95, €9.95 or €11.95. For each home we make a separate quote with the exact price. You can have the homes planned one after another, so the vacancy between two tenants stays short.
How long does it take to have a ceiling sprayed in the Museumkwartier?
The spraying itself is quick. For a living room with about 40 m2 of walls and 25 m2 of ceiling, spraying takes a fraction of an hour in our experience. Masking and sanding take most of the time. For a whole home we usually plan a day, depending on the number of rooms.
Is a latex sprayer in the Museumkwartier also suitable for a small job?
It can be, but for a single wall rolling is often more practical, because masking is just as much work. For a room, a living room with ceiling or a whole home, spraying is efficient. We advise honestly which method suits your job.
Do I need to empty my home in Museumkwartier?
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.
Do you also spray lacquer on doors and stairs in Museumkwartier?
Yes. Interior doors start from €110 each, a closed staircase from €650 and an open staircase from €700. Frames and kitchen fronts are quoted as custom work.
