More than half of the homes in the Molenwijk are owner-occupied, and then you decide on colour, quality and timing yourself. For latex spraying Molenwijk that means: choose a package that suits how you live. As your latex sprayer in Haarlem we work airless in two coats, from €7.95 per m2 (Basic), from €9.95 (Medium) and from €11.95 (High). The exact price is in your quote.
Advice on site, taping off windows and frames, hand sanding, filling inside corners and clearing up are all included. What the CBS figures for the neighbourhood mean for your home, you can read below.
Owner-occupied homes in the Molenwijk: what the CBS figures say about your walls
According to CBS (Statistics Netherlands, 2024), the Molenwijk has 8,135 residents, 4,090 households and 3,974 homes. The area is very highly urban with 4,549 residents per km2. The average WOZ value (the municipal property valuation) is €371,000.
Of the homes, 61 percent are multi-family homes and 39 percent family houses. Ownership is 57 percent owner-occupied and 43 percent rented. That is a balanced picture, and for spraying work it means we often agree things with owners who choose colours, scrub class and timing themselves.
The building age is almost entirely old: 99 percent of the homes are older than 10 years, 1 percent younger. So here you almost always work on existing surfaces, with years of pictures, skirting boards and slight discolouration above radiators and around light fittings. We check the surface, repair small holes, sand by hand and fill the inside corners.
In practice that means: you get a tighter result than if you roll yourself, provided the preparation is right. Do you have wallpaper? Remove it beforehand. Do you have texture on the wall? Then it stays visible under the latex coat, as Homedeal also describes for spraying existing walls.
What does a day look like in such a home? We start by taping off windows, frames and floors. Then we sand the walls and ceilings by hand, repair holes and fill the inside corners. Only when everything is dust-free do we pick up the airless machine. Ceilings first, then walls, so drops never land on a finished surface. Finally we clear everything up and you walk through the home with us for the handover.
The price overview of our packages, including what is part of it, is at latex spraying cost per m2. That way you see beforehand what you pay for and what is not covered, such as extra work on heavily damaged walls.

Owner or tenant: how to choose a latex package for your walls
As an owner you invest in your own home. That is why Medium (scrub class 2) and High (scrub class 1) make sense in the hallway, the kitchen and the children's room. In a bedroom or on a ceiling Basic (class 3) is often enough. Read the difference at scrub class 1, 2 or 3. Under EN 13300 the rule is: the lower the class number, the better the paint withstands scrubbing.
For ceilings in an existing home something different applies than for walls. Hairline cracks from the house settling and stains from earlier leaks are common. We repair what we can, and tell you when the cause lies elsewhere. Read more at having your ceiling sprayed.
Do you rent? Ask your landlord for permission before you make an appointment. In the Molenwijk 43 percent of the homes are rented, so you are not the only one.
Want to know why you spray instead of roll? A short explanation is at rolling or spraying latex. In short: spraying covers large surfaces faster and more evenly, rolling is handy for small jobs.
A worked example for a family home with 120 m2 of walls and ceilings: Basic from €954 (120 x 7.95), Medium from €1,194, High from €1,434. The exact amount follows after advice on site.

Service area: from the Molenwijk to the rest of Haarlem
The Molenwijk is in Haarlem and so within our service area. For neighbourhoods we state no distances or travel times; we agree a day and time with you.
Planning a round of the area? Then we run via latex spraying Meerwijk and latex spraying Oude Stad. For the whole city there is latex spraying Haarlem.
You prepare like this: clear the room, move furniture away from the wall and remove items from the ceilings. Make sure we can reach the corners with a ladder. Do you have a cellar or storeroom that also needs doing? Mention it in your request.
A tip for owner-occupied homes with a shared wall: let the neighbours know when we are coming. A short message prevents questions about noise and a spraying machine in the house. We work 7 days a week from 07:30 to 19:00.
Where Molenwijk is in our service area

- A clear quote with the package, the m2 and the planning.

Lacquer spraying in the Molenwijk: doors, frames and stairs
Owner-occupied homes with years of use often have lacquer work that deserves a redo. Doors with fingerprints, frames with flakes, a staircase with marks. We spray an interior door from €110, a closed staircase from €650 and an open staircase from €700. These are indicative prices; after the visit the exact quote follows.
Want the walls and the woodwork in one job? That is possible, and then you only have to clear once. Read more at lacquer spraying.
Anyone who combines both jobs saves on the preparation: packing up once, taping off once. Allow for the drying time of water-based lacquer: according to the data sheet of Flexa Strak in de Lak, at 20 degrees it is dust-dry after 1 hour and overpaintable after 4 hours, and fully cured after 4 days. So use a door carefully in the first days.
Frequently asked questions about latex spraying in Molenwijk
Can I have just my living room sprayed in the Molenwijk?
Yes. You can have one room done, for example the living room or a bedroom. We tape off, sand the walls by hand, fill the inside corners and spray two coats. Your quote states the m2 and the price per m2 for your chosen package.
What is the difference between Basic, Medium and High for latex spraying in the Molenwijk?
Basic is standard latex with scrub class 3 from €7.95 per m2. Medium is scrub class 2 from €9.95 and High scrub class 1 from €11.95. The lower the class, the better the wall withstands scrubbing. All packages assume light colours and one colour per quote.
Do I have to remove the wallpaper myself before latex spraying in the Molenwijk?
Yes, wallpaper has to come off beforehand. We spray latex onto a bare, clean wall. If you have questions about the condition of your wall, let us know when you request a quote; during the advice on site we assess the surface and tell you what is still needed.
Do you also spray in the Molenwijk in apartments with neighbours in the corridor?
Yes. We protect the route to your front door and bring only what is needed. Tell your neighbours or VvE about the job. We work 7 days a week from 07:30 to 19:00, so you know when to expect us.
How long does it take to spray a room in Molenwijk?
In our experience one coat on a room of 12 to 20 m2 takes 30 to 60 minutes of spraying. Masking takes most of the time. A family home of about 120 m2 is often finished in 1 to 2 days, including preparation.
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 Molenwijk?
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.
