Kaag en Braassem is a municipality with plenty of space and little urbanity, and you can see that in the homes. For latex spraying Kaag en Braassem we charge from €7.95 per m2; you will find the exact price in the quote, after advice on site. As a latex sprayer we come from Haarlem. Measured to Leimuiden that is about 17.6 km as the crow flies from the centre of Haarlem. According to Statistics Netherlands (CBS, 2024) the municipality has 29,168 residents, and 80 percent of homes are houses with their own front door. So spray work here is mostly about roomy living rooms, stairwells, bedrooms and ceilings in family homes.
Thinly populated with many family houses: what the CBS figures mean for your ceilings and walls
Kaag en Braassem has 29,168 residents, 12,743 households and 12,721 homes, so there are almost as many homes as households. The density is 462 residents per km2. Urbanity is low (class 4 of 5). The average WOZ value (the municipal property valuation) is €463,000.
The housing type is clear: 80 percent houses with their own front door, 20 percent apartments. That last group is well over 2,500 homes. Of the homes, 85 percent are older than ten years and 15 percent younger, roughly 1,900 homes. One in seven homes is therefore recently built. By comparison, in Lisserbroek it is only 2 percent.
The split between owner-occupied and rented is 65 against 34 percent. The CBS figures add up to 99 percent because of rounding. The owner-occupied share is therefore well over two thirds.
For spray work this means: lots of large wall surfaces, lots of living-room ceilings and a good share of owner-occupied homes where owners choose the colour and package themselves. In the newer homes we watch for hairline cracks and seams; in the older ones for old layers of paint, wallpaper and yellowed ceilings.

Roomy living rooms, high ceilings and stairwells: our approach in family homes
In a family house the living room is the biggest job. An airless sprayer puts an even coat on walls and ceiling in a short time. In an open space, for example a kitchen-diner with a passage, the machine works best if everything is masked properly. We protect windows, frames, floors and sockets before we start.
The stairwell and landing often have tall walls. Spraying is quicker and neater there than with a roller, because you get no joins between rolled sections. A ceiling without roller edges makes a room calmer at once. You can read more about the method on the page about having your ceiling sprayed.
In newer homes the surface is usually smooth. If you still want an extra tight finish, a higher scrub class (how washable the paint is) is an option, especially where children walk. You can compare the classes at scrub class 1, 2 or 3.
A ceiling in a family home takes a lot: cooking steam in the kitchen, steam in the bathroom and greasy fingers along the stair wall. That is why we mask extra carefully in those rooms and check beforehand for damp patches. A spot that keeps coming back is solved by repairing the cause, not with more paint.
In older homes we sand by hand and fill all inside corners. Small repairs are included. If there is a large crack or a damp patch, we advise removing the cause first.
For the walls themselves you can go to spray painting walls. It explains how we prepare them.

Neighbouring areas where we also work include latex spraying Aalsmeer and spray painting in Uithoorn. If you live near Lisserbroek, look at wall and ceiling spraying in Lisse.

What it costs you can read on latex spraying cost per m2. For a larger house we count the m2 we actually spray. The quote shows how it is built up.
Do you have a home with several rooms that cannot all be emptied at once? Then we split the work. We start in the rooms you need least and finish with the ones you use every day. That keeps the house liveable during the work.
What do you do yourself? Take down wall decorations, move small furniture aside and cover large furniture. We do the masking, sanding, filling, spraying and clearing up.

Lacquer spraying in Kaag en Braassem: doors, frames and stairs in family homes
A family house usually has many doors and a staircase to the upper floor. We spray an interior door from €110, a closed staircase from €650 and an open staircase from €700. Lacquer work is tailor-made, and the exact price follows after an inspection.
In newer homes the doors are often smooth and mostly have small scratches. Then the job is simpler. In older homes more preparation is needed, because paint has flaked or yellowed over the years. For both situations we give clear advice during the inspection.
You get a smooth coat without brush strokes, even in the corners of a staircase. How that works you can read in spray lacquering doors and stairs.
Frequently asked questions about latex spraying in Kaag en Braassem

We charge from €7.95 per m2 for Basic, from €9.95 for Medium and from €11.95 for High. The price assumes light colours and one colour per quote. The exact price is in your quote, after advice on site.
Do you also visit the smaller villages of Kaag en Braassem?
Yes, the whole municipality falls within our 30 km service area around Haarlem. The distance to Leimuiden is about 17.6 km as the crow flies. Give your address with your request and we will plan the inspection and give an expected working period.
Is latex spraying in Kaag en Braassem suitable for a new-build home?
Yes. About 15 percent of homes are less than ten years old. There the surface is often smooth, but we always check for seams, hairline cracks and damp-sensitive spots. Sanding, filling and two coats of latex follow.
Can I have only my ceiling sprayed in Kaag en Braassem?
Yes, that is possible. The ceiling is sanded, the seams are filled and it gets two coats of latex. Especially in a large living room that is a good choice, because a sprayed ceiling has no roller edges. You will find the price in the quote.
What does latex spraying cost in Kaag en Braassem?
Spraying walls and ceilings starts from €7.95 (Basic, scrub class 3), €9.95 (Medium, scrub class 2) or €11.95 (High, scrub class 1) per m2, based on light colours and one colour. The exact price for Kaag en Braassem is in the quote after a free visit.
How long does it take to spray a room in Kaag en Braassem?
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 Kaag en Braassem?
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.
