Respect. Communication. Quality. Happy to have found a trusted painter that I will continue to use for years to come. Blake "sold" the job. Dave and Cam (painters) showed complete respect while in our home. Dave led the job with daily communication confirming all aspects from start to finish. The prep work, clean lines and overall job is top quality. Thank you for a job well done!

I have used this company on 3 projects and a family member has used them on one. We have been pleased each time with the quality of the materials and workmanship. I would highly recommend them.

We have used Vanderkolk multiple times now. This review is long overdue. They did our living and dining room which turned out perfect. Most recently we had a slider door & trim in need of stain & repair as result of damage done to it. I called Tom and he was right on it for us. He sent Raphael (super nice young man) over to work his magic and we couldn't be happier. Vanderkolk has always been very responsive to us and we totally trust him and the work they do. My wife and I will for sure use him again and I strongly recommend you using this painting company.

Residential Painting FAQs

Have questions about our residential home painting services? You can read answers to some of the most common house painting questions we receive below.

  • Can You Match An Existing Wall Color?

    Yes, our team can match any existing wall color, even if you don’t know the paint code. If you have a bucket of the paint around, we can use a wet sample to replicate the color. If you don’t have a bucket, we can take a chip of paint from the wall to match the color. 

  • How Often Should A House Be Painted?

    How often your home should be painted depends on a number of factors, including the types of surfaces that have been painted, the type of paint used, and the environment. Generally speaking, exteriors in Michigan usually need to be painted every five to ten years. Interior rooms tend to vary depending on the type of room. Bathrooms and kitchens tend to be subjected to higher levels of humidity and require more frequent painting. These rooms often need to be painted every three to four years. Other rooms can last five years or more. 

  • Do I Need To Be Home While The VanDerKolk Team Is Painting?

    You do not need to be home while our team paints. If we’re performing interior work, we will need a way to access the house if you’re not present. It’s often easiest if someone is present at the start of the project to provide access. 

  • Should I Move Furniture Before The Painters Arrive?

    Our team will cover the furniture and floors before any painting begins. We can also move furniture if it’s against walls that need to be painted. We do ask that you move any fragile items or precious family heirlooms before we arrive. We take great care with our work, but having you move delicate possessions can prevent any accidents from breaking something you deeply care about. 

  • Can I Purchase The Paint & Pay For The Labor Only?

    We do not recommend purchasing the paint yourself, because you’ll probably pay more for it. As professional painters, we receive a discount on paint due to the quantity of paint we purchase and the relationships we’ve built with suppliers. It’s going to save you time and money if you have us buy the paint after you select the color.
