Painting Services in the Netherlands
Painting improves a home's aesthetics and preserves the structure's exterior against environmental wear. The activities involved in house painting in the Netherlands may be unclear and demand a lot of questions answered. However, getting an excellent painting service is not a complex one at all. For a square meter space, an average expense of €10-€12 may be required without materials. Of course, this average cost covers the labor cost, painting equipment, and cost of permit as required by the painting project.
The paint cost may be the main differentiator in the total price you pay. If you want fancy designer paint, you can expect to pay higher in procuring the paint materials needed than the labor cost. Regardless, some other important factors determine the cost of painting services.

Exterior Painting Cost Factors
Dimensions of the painting project
The size of the project may be the major factor that determines the cost of painting. The rule of thumb says that you will pay higher if painting a larger surface area. The larger the area, the more paint will be required, and the higher the material costs. A larger surface area also means more time and effort spent on the project, which will contribute to the overall cost, particularly, if you are paying per hour.
Here is an estimated cost of painting based on the dimensions:
| Surface area (sq. meters) | Average cost (Eur) |
| 93 | €1,365 to €3,640 |
| 100 | €2000-€5000 |
| 139.4 | €2,044 to €5,460 |
| 185.8 | €3,000 to €7,280 |
| 232.3 | €3,402 to €9,100 |
| 278.7 | €4,081 to €10,920 |
The variance in prices of the same dimensions may be slightly influenced by the number of rooms, sections, and partitions in the total square area.
Prep work
However, the cost of preparation work can be completely avoided with the extra benefits of DIY effort, but it can also significantly increase exterior house painting costs. Preparation work (prep work) may include activities like patching holes, repairing cracks, removing old paints, sanding, etc. There are no fixed prices for prep work, but its cost determinant is dependent on the nature of the surface to be painted, and the degree of prep work required.
Type of surface
Exterior surfaces are of different materials and conditioning. Each type requires different methods of painting and prepping which affect costs.
Wood siding: wood siding is common in many structures and the cost of exterior painting services of wood siding may be around €640 - €2730. Wooden surfaces do require a ton of preparatory work to make the final outlook surreal. Cracks and gaps must be filled to prevent moisture, and it may require sanding to smooth out rough spots.
Stucco: The cost of painting an exterior of stucco siding lies between €1270 and €5460. Stucco surfaces often have textured or uneven surfaces, which might require multiple coats of paint to perfect.
Brick: Brick painting sustains quality for a long time, so it requires cleaning and possibly pressure washing to remove dirt and mold. Homeowners can expect to pay €3190 to €9100 for an exterior of brick siding.
Metal: The smoothness of metal surfaces makes painting straightforward, and involves less prep work, if any. Exterior house painting of metal siding is expected between €364 to €3185.
Vinyl: Specialized vinyl paint is recommended for adhesion on vinyl surfaces because of its smoothness. It will cost €550 to €3200 to complete home painting services for this siding.
Composite: Composite materials, like concrete or engineered wood siding, have the advantage of less painting stress. An average cost of €450 to €2730 will do for the exterior with composite siding.
Labor cost
Labor cost is a significant factor that determines exterior house painting cost. The wages paid per square meter or hour can vary based on project complexity and particularly with different exterior painting companies. Many times, the labor cost is already embedded in the overall quotes you get, and the number of days required for completion is also outlined. In the Netherlands, you should plan about €10 to €40 per square meter for labor costs, while also considering cases of working at extreme heights. It is highly encouraged to get quotes from different contractors to understand what reasonable labor price is required for your project, and to make sure you are not over bidded as a function of skill and expertise.

Painting Project type
Painting doors and windows within a house painting project also drives the price a great deal. Doors are a critical part of a home and they require detailed painting to bring its beauty to life.

On the other hand, a partial exterior painting project focuses on selected building parts such as trims, decks, selected siding, fences, etc., hence, the cost of a partial painting project type is expected to be lesser.
Below is an outline of the expected percentage increase in cost due to project type:
- Whole House Painting: 20% - 40% increase
- Partial Exterior Painting: 10% - 20% increase
- Repainting and Maintenance: 5% - 15% increase

Geographic location
Locations with high demand for painting services often attract higher costs because of the unavailability of contractors. The exterior painting companies are very busy, and they adjust prices to balance the many demands for their services. You may wonder why the quote you get is insanely high for such a small project you have, this is because the time to spend on yours may not be worth it when they have other higher gigs with higher profit returns. Therefore, they resort to pricing you up to scale. The cost of transporting painting companies from a location of lesser demand can also become significant.
Permits
Many commercial painting projects and certain residential projects require specific permits and licenses. The cost of licensing also amounts to the total quote you get from a contractor. You are encouraged to communicate with your contractor and ask questions for a full understanding of the permit position applicable to your project.
Paint Finishes and Additional Services
As the common saying goes, painting is extensive, applying the paint is only a part of the job. If you request additional services such as furniture clearing and moving of objects, you may have to pay extra. Special paint finishes also attract extra purchases which all sum up to the total cost.
