Overview

My family originated from the Netherlands. It was in the late 1880s when my great grandparents came to America and settled in Jamestown, Michigan started a family farm.


I spent my childhood on that very same farm. I can remember very clearly what everyday life was like on that farm. Our family raised 4-H steers, so cutting and baling hay were among the daily tasks. We also grew and sold vegetables at the flea market.


A lot of my time was also spent on making go-carts and furniture with my cadet leaders, running trap lines before the dawn, hunting for raccoons, and milking cows.


But then, I grew older and developed an interest in paintwork. For this, I headed to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to study painting under the tutelage of a master painter. Once I learned all I could, I went back to West Michigan with the intent of starting my own company.

Church Renovation & Painting

In 1991, I launched VanDerKolk Painting with a handful of employees, handling mostly residential exterior painting projects. The 1990s was an opportune time to start such a business, as there was no shortage of projects. Naturally, VanDerKolk Painting expanded. We acquired more employees, as our services now included commercial painting and new construction.


Today, VanDerKolk Painting offers residential, commercial, and industrial painting services, among other things.



With projects ranging from multimillion-dollar homes, massive commercial complexes, and industrial facilities, as well as historical home restoration and residential repaints, VanDerKolk Painting is poised for more growth in the years to come.
