Latex spraying Waarder- en Veerpolder is bespoke work, because it is a small area of Haarlem with few homes. So we look honestly at what is there and what you need. As a latex sprayer we come to you from the Kleine Houtstraat in Haarlem, even for a single room or one home. We spray walls and ceilings from €7.95 per m2, in two coats. The exact price is in the quote after a short on-site visit, even if the area is small.
A small area with homes of different ages
Waarder- en Veerpolder is one of the smallest residential areas of Haarlem. According to Statistics Netherlands (CBS, 2024), 2,030 people live in 878 homes, spread over 925 households. That is about 1 per cent of the 167,636 residents of the whole municipality. The population density is 522 residents per km2, against 5,739 for Haarlem as a whole, and the area is classed as highly urban.
The homes are fairly evenly split: 44 per cent are family houses and 56 per cent are apartments or other multi-family dwellings. Of the homes, 53 per cent are owned and 47 per cent rented. The average WOZ value (the municipal property valuation) is €570,000. A small area changes nothing about the trade: a wall remains a wall, and a ceiling remains a ceiling.
The age of the homes stands out. According to CBS, 82 per cent are more than 10 years old, and 18 per cent were built in the last 10 years. That is more than in many other Haarlem areas. Anyone living in a young home often has flat walls that are ready for wallpaper, while residents of older buildings need more preparation.
We do not invent anything about what stands in the area. What we do know is that there are homes, of different types and construction years, and that just as elsewhere in Haarlem they can be painted cleanly, smoothly and affordably. If you have another kind of space, such as business premises or an office, request a quote and we will look together at what is possible.
One more honest note about the figures: in an area of this size, averages say less than in a large one. A single large apartment block or a street of new homes can change the picture a great deal. Use the CBS figures as a guide, not as a promise for your own home. The on-site visit shows you the real situation.
A calculation that does hold: 2,030 residents in 925 households is an average of about two people per household. That is comparable with many other urban areas, and fits homes where smaller families or couples often live.

Spray painting a small home or a compact space
With a small number of homes, the emphasis falls on bespoke work. You do not get a standard schedule, but an appointment that fits your diary. A single room is often finished in a day, a whole home in a few days. We do not compromise on quality: even a small job gets two coats of latex paint, hand sanding and filled inside corners.
For the apartments in the area, what we do elsewhere applies too: protecting the lift, landing and stairwell, bringing materials up cleverly and letting the neighbours know. If you rent or live in a building with a VvE (the owners' association of an apartment building), ask permission before choosing a different colour.
If you want a newer home sprayed, the surface is often ready for wallpaper. The Dutch Tax Administration gives the 9 per cent VAT (btw) rate for painting work on homes older than 2 years, see the Tax Administration page on painting. If you are unsure which rate applies to your home, check it.
Are your walls and ceilings blotchy, yellowed or damaged? See latex spraying on walls for the approach, and latex spraying cost per m2 for how the price is built up.
In a home with its own front door and stairs, we usually spray the upstairs ceilings first, then the walls, and the downstairs hallway last. If you have an open kitchen or a large living room, an airless sprayer works especially well, because you get no overlaps as you do with a roller. For ceilings you can read more on spray painting ceilings.

Frequently asked questions about latex spraying in Waarder- en Veerpolder
Do you come to Waarder- en Veerpolder for a small job?
Yes, you can request a quote even for a single room or ceiling. It remains work in two coats, with hand sanding and filled inside corners. The price starts from €7.95 per m2. Say in your request roughly how many m2 it is.
How many homes are there in Waarder- en Veerpolder according to CBS?
According to CBS (2024), Waarder- en Veerpolder has 878 homes and 2,030 residents. It is a small area within Haarlem. Of those homes, 56 per cent are apartments or other multi-family dwellings and 44 per cent are family houses.
Is the home in Waarder- en Veerpolder new enough for wallpaper-ready walls?
That differs per home. According to CBS (2024), 18 per cent of the homes in the area were built in the last 10 years and 82 per cent are older. At the on-site visit we assess the surface and tell you honestly whether extra preparation is needed.
Can I have business premises sprayed in Waarder- en Veerpolder?
Feel free to send a request with a description of the space. We then assess whether the work fits our approach and give a quote if it does. The website only lists prices for homes and lacquer work, and we discuss other spaces individually.
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 Waarder- en Veerpolder?
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.
