Latex spraying Transvaalwijk starts with good preparation, because according to CBS (Statistics Netherlands) all the homes in the area are more than ten years old. Latex-Spuiter.nl sprays walls and ceilings in Haarlem from €7.95 per m2 (Basic), €9.95 (Medium) or €11.95 (High). The exact amount is in your quote.
As a latex sprayer we first check your surface, repair small defects and fill all inside corners. Then come two coats of latex paint. We come to you from the Kleine Houtstraat in Haarlem and bring everything that is needed.
An area of older homes: what the CBS figures mean for your walls
According to the CBS figures (2024), Transvaalwijk has 8,855 residents, 4,700 households and 4,435 homes. With 13,697 residents per km2 it is one of the most densely built areas we work in. That calls for neat planning: little storage space, narrow entrances and neighbours close by.
The most striking figure is the age of the housing. 100% of the homes are more than ten years old and, according to CBS, nothing new has been built in the last ten years (0%). That means on almost every job you have to allow for old coats of paint, wallpaper from previous residents, small hairline cracks above frames and holes from old fixings. An even spray coat will not make that kind of flaw disappear by itself, so repair is the foundation.
The split is 47% family houses and 53% apartments or other multi-family dwellings, and 53% owned against 47% rented. The average WOZ value (the municipal property valuation) is €421,000. So you see a mix of owners who want to renovate themselves and landlords who want to hand over a fresh home.
For the surface we use the check on site. We look at whether paint is flaking, whether there are damp patches and whether the wall is even. Only when that is in order do we schedule the spraying. That may seem time-consuming, but it stops you seeing the old cracks again after a year. You can read more about the calculation at latex spraying cost per m2.
Dense building has another effect: in small homes with little storage, belongings are quickly in the way. That is why we plan room by room. First one room is emptied and sprayed, then your furniture moves back and the next follows. That way you do not have to clear the whole house at once.

Spraying old walls and ceilings: repair first, then finish
We start with hand sanding. That is not machine work, because we want to feel where a wall is rough. Then we repair small holes and hairline cracks and fill all inside corners. Only then do we mask windows, frames and floors.
Is there still wallpaper on the wall? Then we assess together whether it has to come off. Latex over loose wallpaper risks pulling it away, so we advise honestly on what is needed. Larger repair jobs, such as re-plastering a whole wall, are not part of the basic price. We discuss those separately.
Ceilings in older homes often have a smooth plaster coat or a sprayed texture from an earlier job. Spraying works excellently then, because you get an even ceiling without roller stripes. Read more about spray painting walls if you mainly want to deal with the walls.
In the narrow streets of the area we get in touch beforehand about parking and loading. That way the van is not in the way and you run no risk of a fine or annoyance among the neighbours.
With rented homes in the area it is often smart to combine the spray work with a tenant change. The home is then empty, we can work straight through and the next resident moves into a fresh, even finish. As an owner-occupier you can also choose the highest package, because a more hard-wearing latex shows marks less quickly around the door and in the hallway.

Service area: Transvaalwijk is simply in Haarlem
Transvaalwijk falls under the municipality of Haarlem. For an overview of everything we do in the city, read latex spraying Haarlem. We do not quote fixed travel times, because they depend on the moment.
If you live near the edge of the area, also look at our pages for spray painting in Indischewijk and spray painting in Ter Kleefkwartier. The approach is similar, but the housing mix differs.
You can prepare yourself like this: empty the shelves, take down curtains and light fittings and tell us where a colour is meant to go. The price assumes light colours and one colour per quote.
We work 7 days a week from 07:30 to 19:00. We schedule an on-site visit in consultation with you.
Unsure about the order? Start with the room you use most, usually the living room, and keep smaller spaces such as the toilet and hallway for the end. That gives you the quickest result where you look most often.

Lacquer spraying in Transvaalwijk: doors and stairs from older homes
Older homes often have several layers of paint on doors and frames. For a smooth result we sand those back well and then spray the lacquer in an even coat.
An interior door costs from €110, a closed staircase from €650 and an open staircase from €700. These are indicative prices, and the exact quote follows after a visit. You will find everything about doors and stairs under lacquer spraying.
When a terraced house is to get both walls and doors on the inside, we prefer to plan it in one visit.
With woodwork, the surface determines how long the job takes. Old layers that are coming loose we remove. What is sound, we sand to key it. Then comes the lacquer. That keeps the result even and the door feels smooth.
Frequently asked questions about latex spraying in Transvaalwijk
What does latex spraying in Transvaalwijk cost in an older home?
The from-prices are €7.95, €9.95 and €11.95 per m2, depending on the package. Small repairs, hand sanding and filling all inside corners are included. If your home needs a lot of repair, that is stated separately in the quote for your address in Transvaalwijk.
Does the wallpaper have to come off before you spray in Transvaalwijk?
Usually yes. Latex over loose or old wallpaper is a risk, so at the on-site visit we assess what needs to happen. If the wallpaper is well attached and smooth, we look together at whether it can stay. We tell you honestly what is sensible.
Do you need parking space in Transvaalwijk?
We come in a van with the spray machine and materials. Tell us about the parking situation in your request, and we will plan loading and unloading for a time that suits. In a busy street that often works fine with a little preparation.
Can I have my ceilings sprayed in Transvaalwijk too?
Yes, ceiling spraying is one of the strongest uses of airless spraying. You get an even coat without roller stripes. With older ceilings we first check for loose paint and small cracks and sort those out before applying two coats of latex.
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 Transvaalwijk?
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.
