Grand Haven Sand Blasting Service

Overview

Like so many in West Michigan, my family is from the Netherlands. My great-grandparents came to America in the late 1880’s and raised their family on a farm in Jamestown. I was raised on that same farm. My childhood is filled with memories of cutting and baling hay, raising 4-H steers, growing and selling vegetables at the local flea market, building go-carts and furniture with my Cadet leaders, walking my trap lines in the pre-dawn, coon hunting and milking cows.

After studying under the tutelage of a Master Painter in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, I returned to West Michigan and launched VanDerKolk Painting in 1991. My first projects consisted of residential exterior painting and just a few employees. The boom of the 1990’s left no shortage of work; and the business expanded to include new construction, commercial painting, and even more employees. Our projects now range from multi-million dollar homes, vast office complexes, industrial facilities, historic home restoration and residential repaints.

VanDerKolk Painting provides both shop sandblasting and mobile sand blasting. You name it, we have probably used one of our rigs on it for sandblast prep. And we can prime it and paint it after blasting. Our shop team can blast pipes, equipment, truck frames, ornamental iron and furniture and about anything else.
