Why We Do It

To make a positive difference in the lives of people. For our team and their families to be their best selves, for our customers and suppliers to find win/win solutions, and for our community to be the best place to live.

In concrete products – we provide value to our masons, general contractors, architects, and owners so their projects can be performed efficiently and profitable with products that retain long-lasting beauty and durability.
In stone and fireplace – we provide value to our builders, designers, and homeowners with technical know-how, friendly service, and an excellent product line up at a fair price.
We hire and retain the best people. We continually invest in and develop our team. We hire individuals who are driven, humble, and smart. We strive to be life-long learners. We want our team members to feel that their work makes a difference and is a place for them to grow and be blessed.

Our History

FOUNDED IN 1922

A company could hardly have a more modest beginning. William Launder VanderWall founded the business not long after World War 1 with little machinery and a lot of hard work. William wanted to offer quality products with excellent customer service. Those ideals are still a part of our core values.

VanderWall Brothers have come a long way from labored workers scrambling to move block by hand, to now fully-automated production lines in two separate manufacturing plants located in Spring Lake, MI. Not one hand touches our products until the mason places the block in a new project.

The heart of our operation is our people. In our sales staff, manufacturing personnel to our licensed fireplace technicians and delivery team, you will find longevity, experience, and customer knowledge unlike any other company in our industry in Michigan. We are mentoring the next generation of employees whose service will extend the same core values and ethics into the next decades. We are excited about the future in West Michigan and how we can solve the construction needs of our customers.

Vanderwall Core Values

WE STRIVE TO BE EXCELLENT IN THE SIMPLE THINGS.

SAFETY

We spend time, money, and training around safety because we value the gift of life and each team member. Not profit, not production, nor progress because our people are what is most important. If we’re not keeping our team safe, then it’s not worth doing.

PROFESSIONALISM

We seek excellence in what we do and the services we provide.

INTEGRITY

Our Words = Our Actions. We are humble in how we approach problems. We are honest in what we say and do – every day.

RELIABLE

You can trust we will get it done – we have that reputation! We have been around since 1922 and have a legacy to uphold. The next ten years will be different than the last ten years – yet one constant is our reputation for reliability.

QUALITY

Both our manufacturing and retail products are the finest human hands can produce. Our goal is not to be the biggest or the cheapest, but instead, our focus is on long-lasting products and services at a fair price.
