Looking for a specialist for latex spraying Transvaalbuurt? We are a latex sprayer from Haarlem and come to your home with our own Graco equipment. The Transvaalbuurt is 17.2 km as the crow flies from our address. You get two coats of latex on walls and ceilings, with masking, sanding and filling of the inside corners included. The price starts at €7.95 per m2, and you read the exact price in the quote. First we plan a free on-site visit, so you know exactly what you are getting before we spray. In a neighbourhood with so many people on a small surface, good preparation is half the work.
How densely you live in the Transvaalbuurt: what density means for spray work
The figures from Statistics Netherlands (CBS, 2024) show that 8,770 people live in the Transvaalbuurt, in 4,751 homes, with 4,955 households. The population density comes to 23,745 residents per km2. For comparison: for the whole municipality of Amsterdam the CBS records 4,950 residents per km2, so the neighbourhood is almost five times as densely built.
You notice that density in practice. Streets are narrow, stairs are steep and neighbours are close. In such surroundings a latex sprayer has to work neatly and predictably. We agree in advance on the time we arrive, the route upstairs and the spot where the spray machine may stand. That keeps disturbance limited.
Of the homes, 98 per cent are apartments and only 2 per cent are houses. For the average Amsterdam home it is 87 per cent apartments, so the Transvaalbuurt is even more a neighbourhood of flats. Along with that, 75 per cent is rented and 25 per cent owner-occupied. The WOZ value (the municipal property valuation) averages €480,000, against €498,000 for the whole municipality.
For you as a resident or landlord this means a lot of work revolves around one floor, often with walls that are clearly visible and a ceiling you see every day.
New build plays hardly any role here: according to the CBS, 3 per cent of homes were built in the past ten years. It is therefore almost always existing buildings, where we first check the surface for loose paint, old sealant joints and small cracks before the first coat goes on.
For residents that mostly means a bright, pleasant result in the rooms where you spend the most time. For landlords it is a neat, neutral basis for the next tenant. Either way you get a written quote first, with the surface area measured on site, so there are no surprises when the work is done.

Rolling or spraying in an apartment in the Transvaalbuurt: pros and cons at a glance
Which is better, rolling latex or spraying it? For an apartment with walls and ceilings going in one colour, spraying gives a more even result in our experience. A roller leaves streaks and roller patterns, especially in grazing light along a long window. Spraying distributes the paint under pressure in a fine mist, which makes the surface smooth.
The drawbacks, honestly stated: spraying needs more preparation. Everything that must not get paint, we mask, and that takes time. In a small, crowded home that can be almost as much work as the spraying itself. Colour changes to dark shades are also harder, because our prices assume light colours and 1 colour per quote.
If you want to see all the trade-offs, read our page on the pros and cons of latex spraying. It also covers noise, smell and drying times.
In a neighbourhood like this, with 97 per cent of homes older than ten years, many people choose spraying for a complete refresh. Then the run-up with sanding and filling deserves the most attention, because old walls have their own small imperfections.

Planning for landlords and residents: a worked example for a three-room home
At a tenant change things often have to go fast. In the Transvaalbuurt three quarters of homes are rented, so we regularly get asked whether an empty home can be finished in one day. In our experience an empty home is fastest, because nothing needs covering except floors and window frames.
Suppose you want 60 m2 of walls and ceilings sprayed. Then our starting prices give these amounts, always excluding deviating colours or extra repairs:
| Package | Scrub class | 60 m2 from |
|---|---|---|
| Basic, €7.95 per m2 | 3 | €477.00 |
| Medium, €9.95 per m2 | 2 | €597.00 |
| High, €11.95 per m2 | 1 | €717.00 |
The scrub class says how well the wall withstands scrubbing (class 1 is the most washable under NEN-EN 13300). You can read more about the choice at wall spraying. For a hallway or kitchen that is touched a lot, a higher class pays off.
You pay only after completion, once we have walked through the work together. Business clients, such as landlords, can pay by invoice with a 14-day term.
