If you are looking for latex spraying Van Galenbuurt, you have come to the right place at Latex-Spuiter.nl. As an experienced latex sprayer from Haarlem, we spray walls and ceilings airless in two coats. You pay from €7.95 per m2 in the Basic package, from €9.95 in Medium and from €11.95 in High. The exact price for your home is in the quote.
We start with a free on-site visit: measuring, checking the surface and talking through the colour. According to Statistics Netherlands (CBS), households in the Van Galenbuurt are relatively large, which calls for smart planning. Below you can read what that means for your job and what it costs.
Families in apartments: what the CBS figures say about the Van Galenbuurt
According to Statistics Netherlands (CBS, 2024), the Van Galenbuurt has 7,740 residents, 3,385 households and 3,228 homes. That is an average of just over 2.3 people per household, well above the Amsterdam average of around 1.8. The area has 26,816 residents per km2 and is extremely urban. All homes are multi-family dwellings and 100 per cent are more than 10 years old.
Of the homes, 23 per cent are owned and 77 per cent rented. The average WOZ value (the municipal property valuation) is €413,000, against €498,000 for Amsterdam as a whole. So many residents live in a rented apartment, often with a family and limited floor space.
What does that mean for your spray work? More people in the same home means more wear on the walls: fingers along the hallway, drawings in the children's room, stains by the dining table. A fresh coat of latex paint puts that right in one go. CBS mentions Mercatorpark, Orteliusbuurt-Noord and Jan Maijenbuurt among others in the area, following its own neighbourhood boundaries.
The difference between areas lies mainly in the number of rooms you have done. With children it is often the living room, hallway, two bedrooms and sometimes a storage room. That adds up, but with a spray machine it is finished in a short time.
If you rent, it is also wise to ask in advance what the landlord allows. A neutral, light colour rarely causes discussion, and when you leave the home is ready for the next tenant. Also agree who pays for wall maintenance if you stay in the same home for years.

Choosing a scrub class for a busy family home in the Van Galenbuurt
Scrub class (the washability rating under NEN-EN 13300) tells you how well a wall withstands scrubbing and cleaning, with class 1 the most washable. In Basic we use latex paint of scrub class 3, in Medium class 2 and in High class 1. In a household with children or pets we often recommend Medium or High, because stains are easier to remove and the wall stays good-looking for longer. An explanation is on the page about scrub class 1, 2 or 3.
Think about colour too. The from prices assume light colours and one colour per quote. A white or light grey wall keeps a small children's room feeling spacious and makes stains less noticeable than a bright colour would.
We work with brands such as Sigma Coatings, Caparol and Sikkens. For each package we choose the paint that matches the scrub class. If you have questions about the composition or smell of the paint, ask during the on-site visit: we will explain what is going into your home.
After spraying we leave windows ajar so the home can air. If there is a young child or a pet at home, plan the work for a moment when the home can be empty, for example during a day out.
If you want to rearrange a children's room, now is the moment to pick a different colour. Bear in mind that more than one colour per quote means a deviation from the from prices. Just ask during the visit and you will get the right price straight away.

Costs and a worked example for a family apartment in the Van Galenbuurt
Say you have 100 m2 of walls and ceilings sprayed. In Basic that is 100 times €7.95, from €795. In Medium you come to from €995 and in High to from €1,195. The exact price differs per home and is in the quote.

With a family you do not always have time to paint yourself. At the same time you want an honest comparison. Renting a spray machine and doing it yourself sounds cheaper, but it takes experience and a lot of preparation. You can find more on DIY latex spraying.
You pay after completion and after we have gone through the work together. That can be by iDEAL payment link or by debit card at the van. Business customers, such as landlords, can pay by invoice with 14 days to pay.

Frequently asked questions about latex spraying in Van Galenbuurt
What does latex spraying cost in the Van Galenbuurt?
From €7.95 per m2 for Basic, from €9.95 for Medium and from €11.95 for High. For your home in the Van Galenbuurt it depends on the surface area, the condition of the walls and the colour. After a free on-site visit the exact price is in your quote.
Which scrub class suits a family in the Van Galenbuurt?
For a home with children or pets, scrub class 2 or 1 is usually sensible, so the Medium or High package. The walls are then easier to clean. With a quieter household, scrub class 3 from the Basic package is often enough. We advise per room.
Can I have the work done in the Van Galenbuurt during the day while I am at work?
That is possible if we can get in. We work seven days a week between 07:30 and 19:00. Agree access in advance, such as a key or a neighbour or manager being present. The work is handed over together, so it is often useful for you to be there at the end.
What are the pros and cons of latex spraying in the Van Galenbuurt?
The advantages are the even finish and the speed, the drawbacks are the preparation and masking. In a small family home the main thing is that everything is cleared. During the visit we will tell you honestly whether spraying suits your situation, and you can read more on pros and cons of latex spraying.
Do I need to empty my home in Van Galenbuurt?
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.
