Do you live in a recently built home and need a latex sprayer? For latex spraying Zeeburgereiland en Bovendiep we drive to you from Haarlem, 17.2 km as the crow flies. According to Statistics Netherlands (CBS), 87 per cent of the homes here were built in the last ten years, so many walls and ceilings are still flat and crisp. We spray two coats of latex, mask everything and fill the inside corners, from €7.95 per m2. The exact price is in your quote. You start with a free on-site visit, so you can see what is needed and what is not.
Almost all new build: what the CBS figures for Zeeburgereiland en Bovendiep mean for your walls
The CBS figures (2024) show clearly how this area differs from the rest of Amsterdam. Zeeburgereiland en Bovendiep has 5,750 residents living in 3,331 homes and 3,550 households. Only 13 per cent of the homes are older than ten years, while 87 per cent were built more recently. Across Amsterdam it is 89 per cent older and 11 per cent newer. This area is almost the mirror image of the historic centre.
What does that mean for spray painting? New walls are usually smooth and new ceilings have few cracks and few old layers of paint. That gives us a clear advantage: the preparation is lighter and we can concentrate on the finish. We still check every surface. Even recent homes can have small settlement cracks, seams and screw holes, which we deal with using filler and sanding.
The average WOZ value (the municipal property valuation) is €388,000, against €498,000 for the whole municipality. The share of rented homes is high: 80 per cent rented and 20 per cent owned. Multi-family homes make up 96 per cent, with 4 per cent single-family houses. The density of 2,286 residents per km2 is fairly spacious, and urbanity scores 3 on the CBS scale, which means moderately urban.
For you as a resident or landlord, the combination of many rentals, many apartments and a lot of new build is a strong hint. Your walls are not worn, but they may not yet have a colour that suits you. A latex sprayer can give them a character of their own without turning your home into a building site.

Spraying new-build walls: when is a new home really ready for paint?
People often assume a new home can be sprayed straight away. In practice it depends on the hand-over. Have the walls been plastered, sanded and dusted off? Are the frames and door linings masked properly? Are there small snagging points left? During our free visit we walk through room by room, so you know which work is ours and what the builder has to finish first.
Read our explanation of latex spraying in a new build too. It describes what to expect from a spray job in a new home and which preparation we recommend.
One advantage of new walls: they usually absorb paint evenly. A light colour in two coats is therefore normally crisp. Dark colours are harder and fall outside our standard price, which assumes light colours and one colour per quote.
In our experience, a family house of about 120 m2 is often finished in one to two days, preparation included. In an empty new-build home it goes even faster, because no furniture has to be moved aside.
In the apartments here, masking the floor and frames needs attention. We mask what has to be masked, and we ask you to tell us in advance about fragile items, such as a slippery floor, a designer radiator or built-in cupboards. That way we avoid unpleasant surprises when we clear up.

Service area: from Zeeburgereiland to IJburg and the Indische Buurt, plus lacquer for woodwork
Zeeburgereiland and Bovendiep lie in the east of Amsterdam. We work from Haarlem and have no office nearby. Besides this neighbourhood we also work in latex spraying IJburg-West and latex spraying Indische Buurt-Oost. Everything about the city is on latex spraying Amsterdam.
New homes often have many white doors and frames. If you want those lacquered later, we work with indicative prices of €110 per interior door, €650 for a closed staircase and €700 for an open staircase. The exact price follows after the visit. All the information is on lacquer spraying.
Would you like walls and woodwork done in one go? We can plan that in a single visit, so you only have to prepare your home once. Water-based lacquer dries quickly, but the woodwork is fully hardened only after a few days, so treat doors and stair rails gently at first.
Frequently asked questions about latex spraying in Zeeburgereiland en Bovendiep
Is latex spraying in a new home on Zeeburgereiland en Bovendiep necessary?
Not always. If the walls are crisp and you like the colour, a spray job may be unnecessary. If you want a different colour or a more even result than the standard finish, spraying is a good choice. During the visit we give honest advice.
How long must a new-build wall dry before latex spraying on Zeeburgereiland en Bovendiep?
That depends on the builder and the type of wall. Ask at hand-over whether the plaster and jointing are dry enough. We assess this during the visit and only plan the spraying once the surface is ready. It is better to allow too much time than too little.
May I do my own latex spraying on Zeeburgereiland en Bovendiep?
You may paint your own home yourself, but the airless machine and the preparation take experience. In a new home a mistake is hard to repair, because crisp walls show every blemish. Many residents therefore leave it to a latex sprayer.
What is the difference between Basic and High for latex spraying on Zeeburgereiland en Bovendiep?
The difference lies in the quality of the latex and the scrub class (washability under NEN-EN 13300): 3 for Basic, 2 for Medium and 1 for High. A higher class is easier to keep clean. Prices start at €7.95, €9.95 and €11.95 per m2, depending on the package.
Do I need to empty my home in Zeeburgereiland en Bovendiep?
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 Zeeburgereiland en Bovendiep?
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.
