Latex spraying Haarlemmerhoutkwartier means a latex sprayer who prepares carefully and finishes neatly in homes where the finish matters. The company is based in Haarlem on the Kleine Houtstraat, so we can reach you quickly within the city for an on-site visit. We spray walls and ceilings in two coats, after hand sanding and filling every inside corner. Prices start from €7.95 per m2 and the exact price for your home is in the quote.
High-value owner-occupied homes: what Statistics Netherlands shows
The Haarlemmerhoutkwartier stands out for its high property values. According to Statistics Netherlands (CBS, 2024), the average WOZ value (the municipal property valuation) is €723,000, well above the average for Haarlem as a whole, which CBS puts at €483,000. In the area, 13,090 people live in 6,304 homes, spread over 6,365 households, with 5,462 residents per km2.
The housing mix is varied: 46 per cent is single-family houses and 54 per cent is apartments or other multi-family dwellings. Most homes are owned: 64 per cent owner-occupied against 36 per cent rented. That means many jobs come from residents who decide on colour, package and timing themselves, and who want to refresh their home without compromise.
In addition, 96 per cent of the homes are more than 10 years old and 4 per cent are newer. So you are usually working in an existing home, where the walls have often been patched, wallpapered or painted over through the years. That is why we check the surface first, before advising on a package.
In homes of higher value, some clients choose a more expensive latex package. That is a choice, not a necessity. The Basic package starts from €7.95 per m2 with scrub class 3, Medium from €9.95 with scrub class 2 and High from €11.95 with scrub class 1. Scrub class is the washability rating under NEN-EN 13300, where class 1 is the most washable. You can read how the classes work under scrub class of latex.
Another striking point in the CBS figures: with 6,365 households in 6,304 homes, almost every house is occupied. Empty homes and vacant rentals are therefore not a regular part of the work. Most often we spray in a home where you still live, or where you are sorting out the last things shortly before a move. That is why we agree days, times and which rooms come first in advance.

High ceilings, large rooms and a finish without roller marks
In more spacious homes the walls are longer and the ceilings are often higher. On such surfaces a roller shows differences sooner: stripes, overlaps and differences in sheen in the light. With an airless system we apply the paint in one pass, which gives an even surface. That is especially helpful in large living rooms and on long hallway walls.
For ceilings the order is: check for stains and hairline cracks first, then sand, and only then spray. How we handle that is on our page about spray painting ceilings. If you also want the walls done, you will find the details under spray painting walls.
Because you are working in an occupied home, we mask windows, frames, floors and built-in cupboards. With wooden floors or a poured floor that is even more important, so show us the vulnerable areas during the on-site visit. We cover them carefully and do not lift any furniture without talking to you first.
Colour also affects how the end result looks. Light colours are the starting point for our prices, with one colour per quote. If you want a darker shade or several colours, we discuss that beforehand so the price holds no surprises.
A tip for a home with several floors: start with the ceilings and then work downwards. That way no dust or paint mist lands in a room that is already finished. We plan the order so that the most used rooms, such as the living room and kitchen, are free again first. Bedrooms and guest rooms can follow last.
After two coats of latex paint we check the result in raking light. Small spots we missed are touched up straight away before we clear up, so at handover you see a fully finished room.

Frequently asked questions about latex spraying in Haarlemmerhoutkwartier
Is latex spraying in the Haarlemmerhoutkwartier more expensive than elsewhere in Haarlem?
No, we charge the same from-prices per m2 across Haarlem: from €7.95, €9.95 or €11.95, depending on the package. The final price depends on the number of m2, the surface and the colour. It is stated in your quote.
Which latex package suits a home in the Haarlemmerhoutkwartier?
That depends on use and wishes, not on the neighbourhood. Basic has scrub class 3, Medium scrub class 2 and High scrub class 1. A lower class is more hard-wearing. We advise per room, for example a stronger package for hallways and a child's bedroom.
Do you protect floors and furniture when latex spraying in the Haarlemmerhoutkwartier?
Yes. We mask windows, frames and floors, cover furniture and clear up afterwards. If you have a delicate floor or special furniture, show us at the on-site visit and we will build it into our approach.
Can I arrange a no-obligation on-site visit in the Haarlemmerhoutkwartier first?
Yes. You request a quote, we come round, measure up and discuss the work. After that you receive a quote with the exact price. Only when you agree do we schedule the spray work. Within Haarlem the travel time is short.
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 Haarlemmerhoutkwartier?
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.
