This is an estimate based on average 2026 prices. Actual costs may vary. Always request multiple quotes for an exact price.
Cost factors
The total cost usually consists of:
- Labor: 45-60% of the total
- Materials: 15-25% of the total
- Preparation and repairs: 10-15% of the total
- Masking and protection: 5-10% of the total
These percentages can vary depending on the situation and materials chosen.
Why do prices vary?
- Preparation: Sanding, filling, and repairs take time.
- Number of coats: Extra coats or specialty paint increase price.
- Surface area: More m2 means more labor and paint.
- Accessibility: Heights and tight corners add time.
Subsidies & incentives
In Belgium, this type of work usually does not qualify for a fixed regional grant like insulation or heat pumps do. The biggest financial impact usually comes from VAT, renovation loans, and local exceptions.
What usually helps
- For homes older than 10 years, work carried out by a contractor often qualifies for 6% VAT instead of 21%.
- Mijn VerbouwLening in Flanders and ECORENO in Brussels can help spread a larger renovation budget.
- Municipalities may offer extra support for accessibility, de-paving, or neighbourhood renewal, but this is never automatic.
Always check
- Whether a notification or permit is required.
- Whether the work forms part of a broader renovation that does qualify under a regional scheme.
