Specializing in residential, commercial, and industrial painting across West Michigan and Northern Michigan, Vork Brothers Painting brings a structured, team-driven approach to every project. Brothers Travis, Corey, and Shane Vork founded the company in 2014 and have since grown it to over 40 employees working from their Zeeland headquarters. The company handles everything from cabinet refinishing and interior whole-home repaints to exterior transformations of historic properties, deck staining, popcorn ceiling removal, and pressure washing.
What sets the operation apart is its layered team structure. Estimator Andrew Grysen provides detailed photo-documented quotes, project managers like Keysin Garcia and Greg coordinate scheduling and daily communication, and crew leaders including Seth Bouwman and Ian oversee on-site execution. Color consultant Jenna offers in-home consultations to help homeowners navigate color decisions. The fully insured team, OSHA and Avetta certified, backs all work with a one-year warranty. Based at 188 N Jefferson St in Zeeland, they serve communities from Holland and Grand Rapids to Traverse City and Marquette.

Kate De Jong hired Vork after two other painting companies refused to complete her three 3rd-story attic dormers. Vork Brothers not only finished the dormers but also "cleaned up some mess from the other painters." Kate concluded it was "best to spend the extra $$ to get a job well (and completely) done." Larry Givens describes how Jovanny and his crew transformed a "49 year old home" with faded finish into something that looked brand new, including the 20-year-old deck.
