Short answer
What does a painter in Zoetermeer do? Price, timing and preparation
In Zoetermeer, a professional painting company does interior and exterior painting, inside and out: walls, ceilings, window frames, doors and stairs. Homeowners, tenants and businesses use it to freshen up a home or office. Good work starts with the preparation: sanding, filling, sealing and priming. Then come two coats of quality paint. That preparation decides how long the result lasts.

Painting in Zoetermeer: terraced houses from the 1970s and 1980s
Most of Zoetermeer was built from the 1970s onwards. Meerzicht, Driemanspolder, Palenstein, Seghwaert and Buytenwegh have many terraced houses with wooden frames, doors and fascias from that time. That woodwork needs regular maintenance, so book the exterior painting before wood rot sets in.
In Oosterheem, the newest district, many houses have uPVC frames. There the work is mostly inside: walls, ceilings and stairs. Renting your home? Then the exterior painting is usually the landlord’s job, and the inside is yours to paint yourself or with a painter.
A tip for a row of identical houses: ask the neighbours to join in, so a painter can do several homes in one go. In the residential areas you usually park in front of the house; parking in the town centre is paid.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about hiring a painter in Zoetermeer
Short answers to what customers ask before they hire a painter.
What does a painter charge per hour and per m²?
A painter charges €35–€55 per hour, excluding VAT and paint. Walls cost €7–€14.50 per m², a ceiling €9–€15 per m² and exterior work €20–€45 per m². Always ask for a fixed price for the whole job.
How much does it cost to paint 100 m² of wall?
Painting 100 m² of wall costs €700–€1,450, excluding VAT and paint. A ceiling costs a little more: €9–€15 per m². Note that a 100 m² home has far more than 100 m² of wall, so measure the walls that will actually be painted.
Do I pay 9% or 21% VAT on painting?
For a home older than two years you pay 9% VAT on the painting work, including the paint the painter uses. New builds and business premises pay 21%. That is the rule of the Dutch Tax Administration (Belastingdienst). Check the rate on your quote.
When is the best time for exterior painting?
Exterior painting works best from April to September, in dry weather and at 10 °C or more. Interior painting can be done all year. In winter, interior work is often easy to schedule, and some painters offer a winter discount. Book exterior work well ahead: painters fill up first in spring.
How often should window frames be painted?
Wooden frames usually need a new coat every six to eight years. On the sunny side and near the sea it goes faster. If you see flaking, cracks or soft wood, have someone look sooner to prevent wood rot.
Can a painter help with damp, mould or water damage?
Yes. A painter cleans mould off walls and ceilings and repaints the spot with a paint that resists moisture. If the damp comes from a leak or rising damp, have the cause fixed first, or the stain will come back.
Can I find an English-speaking painter in Zoetermeer?
Yes. Post your job in English and write in your request that you prefer a painter who speaks English. Painters who can work in English can reply, and you choose who to go ahead with.
What is the difference between an interior and an exterior painter?
An interior painter works on walls, ceilings, doors and stairs inside, with paint that dries fast and smells little. An exterior painter works on window frames, doors, fascias and facades, with paint that stands up to rain, sun and wind. Many painters do both. Say in your request whether it is inside, outside or both.
Can I have my home painted in a sustainable way?
Yes. Ask for water-based paint: it contains fewer solvents and smells less. Good preparation and good-quality paint also make the work last longer, so you need to repaint less often.
Which certifications does a good painter have?
No certification is required. At least check the KvK registration, liability insurance and photos of earlier work. Many painting companies are members of OnderhoudNL, the Dutch trade association for painters. For listed buildings there is a separate recognition for restoration painters.
Is posting a job free?
Yes. You post your painting job for free and without obligation. Painters from the area can reply with a quote, and you decide who to go ahead with.
