Latex spraying Oostelijk Havengebied calls for a latex sprayer who knows that homes here vary in age and condition. We come from Haarlem, about 17 kilometres as the crow flies, and spray walls and ceilings in two coats. The price starts at €7.95 per m2, with masking, hand sanding, filling of inside corners and clearing up included.
After a free on-site visit you receive a quote with the exact price. We look at what the surface needs per home, because a young apartment asks for something different from an older home.
Spray painter in the Oostelijk Havengebied: a big district with mixed homes
The Oostelijk Havengebied (Eastern Docklands) is large. The figures from Statistics Netherlands (CBS, 2024) count 10,304 homes, 20,555 residents and 10,950 households. Of the homes, 93 per cent are apartments and 7 per cent are houses. Renting is 61 per cent and owning 39 per cent, against 70 and 30 per cent in Amsterdam. The WOZ value (the municipal property valuation) is €619,000, which is €121,000 higher than the €498,000 for the municipality.
The age of the homes is mixed here: 84 per cent are older than ten years and 16 per cent were built in the past ten years. In Amsterdam that is 89 and 11 per cent. The density is 13,350 residents per km2, well over 2.5 times the 4,950 for the municipality.
For a latex sprayer that mix makes sense, because the approach differs. In younger homes the walls are often flat and hardly damaged, while in older homes there are more layers of paint and more holes and small cracks. That is why we assess every address separately and do not give a standard price without a visit.
Because an area of this size has so many different homes, we do not look at the district name but at your address, your walls and your wishes. An average says little about your living room.
Because of the high density we often work in a building with many neighbours. We agree how to bring the machine and materials inside, keep corridors and stairwells clear and leave no masking material behind. If parking or a loading spot nearby is difficult, tell us when scheduling and we will take it into account.

Spraying new-build and older homes in the Oostelijk Havengebied
In newer homes we work quickly. The surface is clean, there is little repair work and the wall is often already handed over in a light colour. How we treat new builds is explained on latex spraying in a new build. In our experience spraying is up to 5 times faster than rolling and an empty home is finished soonest.
Older homes ask for more. We check the walls for loose paint, small cracks and stains, sand by hand and fill all inside corners. Only then does the first coat follow. If the home has a lot of furniture, masking takes longer, and that is the part that takes the most time.
You notice the difference between rolling and spraying mostly on a large surface. If you want to set the two side by side, look at the difference between rolling and spraying. For a family house of about 120 m2 the work is often finished in 1 to 2 days in our experience, preparation included. A standard room of 12 to 20 m2 is sprayed in roughly 30 to 60 minutes per coat.
You do not have to choose the most expensive package for every job. A good basis is a light shade, an even coat and a scrub class that suits how the room is used. You can read about that on scrub class 1, 2 or 3. In a kitchen or hallway you choose a higher class than in a guest room.

Example for Oostelijk Havengebied: living room of 6 x 5 metres
Based on 30 m2 ceiling and 57.2 m2 walls (ceiling height 2.6 m), 87.2 m2 in total, without deducting windows and doors. This is an estimate based on the from-prices; the quote after the visit is binding.
| Package | Calculation | Estimate |

| Basic | 87.2 m2 x €7.95 | €693.24 |

What does wall spraying cost in the Oostelijk Havengebied? Table for 135 m2
An example for a spacious home with 135 m2 of walls and ceilings:
| Package | Per m2 from | 135 m2 from |
|---|---|---|
| Basic, scrub class 3 | €7.95 | €1,073.25 |
| Medium, scrub class 2 | €9.95 | €1,343.25 |
| High, scrub class 1 | €11.95 | €1,613.25 |
All amounts are starting prices. They assume light colours and one colour per quote, and the quote states the exact price. Further explanation is on latex spraying cost per m2.
For the price you get a whole package: on-site advice, a surface check, masking of windows and frames, small repairs, hand sanding, filling of inside corners, two coats of latex, clearing up and handover. That means you are not left with a list of separate items afterwards.
It also helps to say in your request how many rooms there are, which floor you live on and whether the home is empty. A photo of the walls or ceiling is useful if you want an indication already, but we only make the final price after the visit, because we need to feel and see the wall ourselves.
Payment is after completion and after we have walked through the work together. You can choose an iDEAL payment link, debit card at the van or an invoice (businesses 14 days).

What does latex spraying cost per m2 in the Oostelijk Havengebied?
How long does it take to have an average home sprayed in the Oostelijk Havengebied?
Can I have only my ceiling sprayed in the Oostelijk Havengebied?
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 Oostelijk Havengebied?
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.
