Paintwork that lasts: our approach to smooth walls and woodwork
Paintwork determines the first impression of your home, both inside and out, and at Kostiantyn-Renovations.com, we deliver professional paintwork that can take a beating.
Our team tackles interior and exterior painting with the same precision, so you don’t have to plan repainting every year and paintwork maintenance remains simple.
What types of painting are there?
There are three main categories: interior painting, exterior painting, and specialized finishes such as latex spraying; each type of painting requires different types of paint and preparation.
For interior painting, we work efficiently, quickly, and cleanly, while exterior painting receives extra protection against wind and weather, so you don’t have to consider repainting as often.
Specialist options in interior painting, such as latex spraying for large surfaces, are cheaper per square meter than traditional rollers for large projects and require professional painting for top results.
Interior painting that breathes
Interior painting requires vapor-permeable systems such as acrylic or latex paint, so that your paintwork does not flake and painting maintenance remains light.
We level, prime, and finish in stages, which makes the paintwork last longer and means you won’t have to repaint as quickly, which has a positive impact on the question of “how much does the paintwork cost?”
What does the painting cost?
The price depends on the surface area, substrate, paint types, and whether you opt for latex spraying or rolling. Below you will find a price indication as a guide for interior and exterior painting.
| Component (paintwork) | Surfaces / unit | Price indication* | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Walls Latex spraying (interior paintwork) | per m² | €6 – €10 | Cheaper for large surfaces, professional painting required |
| Wall rolling (painting) | per m² | €9 – €16 | Flexible for smaller rooms, acrylic paint or latex paint |
| Latex spraying ceilings (interior painting) | per m² | €7 – €12 | Smooth finish, faster than rolling |
| Doors/window frames (exterior painting) | per piece | €70 – €150 | Includes sanding, priming, finishing; paintwork lasts longer in the Netherlands with 2K paints |
| Facade wood (exterior painting) | per m² | €20 – €40 | Depending on condition and need for repainting |
| Undercoat/primer (painting) | per m² | €2 – €4 | Surface distribution, adhesive layer; reduces consumption for interior painting |
*The price table is a guideline; we determine the exact cost of the painting work after inspection, so that painting maintenance remains predictable and exterior painting is well planned.
Latex spraying or rolling: which is cheaper and when to choose?
Latex spraying is often cheaper per m² for large surfaces, while rolling is flexible for small spaces or when painting must be done in occupied areas.
Latex spraying works quickly and smoothly on new stucco or flat surfaces, while rolling is sometimes more convenient for interior painting when renovating paintwork with many corners.
Choose spraying when speed and uniform coverage are important; choose rolling when you want to touch up surfaces or when you want to continue living in the space without overspray during painting.
Types of paint that work: Latex paint, acrylic paint, and lacquers
The right types of paint determine how long paintwork will last, and our choice of latex paint, acrylic paint, or alkyd lacquer is tailored to interior and exterior paintwork.
| Types of paint (paintwork) | Use | Properties | Maintenance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Latex paint | Walls/ceilings (interior painting) | Vapor-permeable, quick-drying, smooth finish with latex sprayers | Easy to repaint without gloss difference |
| Acrylic paint | Interior woodwork (paintwork) | Water-based, low odor, hard top layer | Paintwork maintained with gentle cleaning |
| Alkyd/PU lacquer | Exterior painting | Wear-resistant, weather-resistant, long life | Good maintenance extends the life of paintwork in the Netherlands |
Our choice of paint types is pragmatic: we look at the use of each room so that the paintwork remains functional and you don’t have to plan repainting as often.
Preparing surfaces: leveling and repairing before painting
Good paintwork starts with a smooth surface, and as your plastering partner, we ensure that cracks, holes, and old paint layers are treated correctly.
We measure surfaces, repair seams, and apply primer so that interior paintwork covers evenly and exterior paintwork adheres well; this saves on the cost of paintwork maintenance later on.
Paint maintenance without stress
Schedule a quick annual check: cleaning, checking sealant joints, and touching up minor damage so that paintwork in the Netherlands lasts longer between maintenance sessions.
With light maintenance, you can postpone repainting and keep exterior paintwork looking fresh, which has a direct impact on the cost of painting over several years.
When should you have your paintwork redone?
On average, every 5–7 years indoors and every 4–6 years outdoors, depending on sun, moisture, and use; timely painting prevents expensive repairs.
If you see dull spots, hairline cracks, or peeling paint, it is wise to schedule exterior or interior painting before the wood or stucco is damaged.
Mistakes that cost money when painting
The biggest mistake is skipping the primer or undercoat, because then the paint will not adhere properly and you will have to repaint sooner, at a higher cost.
Incorrectly chosen paint types for exterior painting also cause premature wear; choose systems that are suitable for interior painting or exterior exposure.
Expert Tip: “Work wet-on-wet and follow the edge sequence: first ceilings, then walls, then woodwork; this will keep the paintwork smooth and prevent visible brush marks when painting indoors.”
Price example: updating and changing a small room
Suppose: 35 m² of walls and 12 m² of ceiling with interior painting, plus one door with frame; with latex spray on walls and ceiling and acrylic paint on woodwork, you get a sharp overall picture.
Painting estimate: walls Latex spray 35× €8 = €280, ceiling 12× €9 = €108, door+frame €110; together around €498, which is cheaper than completely rolling the same paintwork.
By measuring surfaces accurately and keeping repairs to a minimum, painting maintenance remains simple and exterior painting does not need to be touched.
Our working method: short and clear
Survey and price indication: we measure surfaces, check the substrate, and provide an answer to “how much will the painting work cost” in a clear price table for painting work.
Preparation: covering, sanding, filling, priming; this ensures that interior painting is solid and exterior painting is watertight.
Application: spraying or rolling with the right types of paint; professional painting requires consistent layer thickness and correct drying times for long-lasting results.
Inspection: we check coverage and seams; this step keeps the paintwork smooth and makes paintwork maintenance predictable in the Netherlands.
Delivery: you will receive advice on repainting intervals and maintenance, so that both exterior and interior paintwork remain beautiful for a long time.
Materials and techniques that make a difference
We use high-quality rollers, fine mist spray equipment, and wear-resistant paints, because this type of paintwork can withstand impact for longer and you don’t need to repaint as often.
The combination of plastering and professional painting ensures that paintwork in the Netherlands will last for years despite moisture, sun, and temperature fluctuations.
