Our story

Born with the City of Kentwood

In 1967 — just weeks after Kentwood held its first city meeting — John VanderWeide opened Kentwood Plumbing & Heating with one goal: service of unmatched quality and integrity.

Today his sons Paul and John carry that standard forward. We use quality equipment, take the time to do the job right, and treat every customer like a neighbor — because most of them are.
