Frequently Asked Questions About VanderLaan Home Improvement
What makes VanderLaan’s home improvement services different from other local contractors?
We combine over 80 years of family-owned experience with top-quality materials and a reputation built on honesty and integrity. Our team focuses on craftsmanship, reliability, and treating every home as if it were our own.
How do I know which siding, roofing, or window material is right for my home?
Every home is unique. During your consultation, we’ll walk you through the pros and cons of each material, explain energy efficiency options, and help you choose a solution that fits both your style and budget.
Do you offer bundled packages (e.g. roof + siding + gutters) at a discount?
Yes. Many homeowners choose to combine projects, such as roofing and siding, or siding and gutters. Doing so can often save time and money while ensuring everything matches seamlessly.
Can I finance my project, and what are the payment plan options?
We partner with trusted financing providers to make large projects more affordable. Flexible monthly payment options are available, and we’ll help you find the plan that works best for your budget.
How do you handle warranty and maintenance on combined home exterior projects?
Each product we install comes with a manufacturer’s warranty, and we also back our work with a workmanship guarantee. If you have multiple services completed together, we’ll make sure your coverage is explained clearly and handled smoothly.
What is your process from estimate to final walkthrough?
It begins with a free consultation and detailed estimate. Once approved, we schedule your project, keep you updated throughout installation, and finish with a walkthrough to ensure everything meets our high standards and your expectations.
During which seasons do you typically schedule installations?
We work year-round, though some projects are better suited for warmer months. Roofing and siding are often completed in spring through fall, while window and door installations can be handled at almost any time of year.
Do you provide guarantees or protection against weather damage (hail, wind)?
Yes. Many of the materials we install are rated for impact resistance and high winds. Additionally, manufacturer warranties often cover certain weather-related damage, providing you with added peace of mind.
Can I upgrade existing systems (windows, gutters) without replacing everything else?
Absolutely. You don’t have to tackle everything at once. Many customers replace windows or upgrade gutters first, then move on to siding or roofing later. We’ll help you create a plan that fits your timeline and priorities.
How do you ensure quality and consistency across multiple locations (Hudsonville, Traverse City)?
Our crews are trained in the same manner and adhere to strict company standards. No matter which office you work with, you’ll get the same quality workmanship, service, and attention to detail that VanderLaan is known for.
What steps do you take to protect my landscape and property during construction?
We treat your home with care. This includes covering landscaping, daily cleaning, and removing all materials and debris once the job is complete. Our goal is to leave your yard looking as good, or even better, than when we arrived.
How long do your exterior products last under Michigan weather conditions?
With proper installation and maintenance, most of our products are built to last decades, even in Michigan’s tough winters. For example, roofs can last 20–30 years or more, siding holds up for decades, and modern windows are designed for long-term performance.
Can I schedule a free, no-obligation in-home consultation?
Yes. We’ll gladly come to your home, review your needs, and provide a detailed estimate, all at no cost and with no pressure.
What should I prepare or expect before your team arrives?
We kindly request that you clear the work area as much as possible and make arrangements for pets or children to remain safe. Beyond that, we handle everything, including permits, materials, and cleanup.
Do you offer periodic inspection or maintenance services after installation?
Yes. We can perform inspections and maintenance to extend the life of your investment. This includes inspecting roofs, siding, windows, and gutters to ensure everything is functioning properly.
