60 Years Doesn't Come Easy

It takes hard work and dedication. Something we bring to the job site everyday. We coordinate with other contractors and take the lead to bring you a finished product that works the way it should the first time. We stand behind our work and make sure each customer is satisfied. We couldn't have made it 60 years if we didn't.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

History

Experience and Excellence

Van’s was founded by Philip Vandenberg in 1954 as solely a plumbing business. He was a very successful business man in the community, and later decided to expand the business to include heating and cooling.

In 1962 he asked John VandenBergh and Robert Mesnard to become partners in the company. Thus Van’s became Van’s Plumbing & Heating, Inc. They provided the community with excellent service in both plumbing & heating for many years to come. Later Robert, Philip’s son was brought into the business, learning the skills of a mechanical contractor and running of the business from his dad.

From 1971 to 1991 Robert helped his dad run the family business, doing residential and commercial plumbing and heating. The Vandenbergs were well known and respected in the industry for doing excellent work and creating jobs for people in the community. In 1991 Robert completely took over running Van’s Plumbing & Heating, Inc, buying out all the other partners. Philip Vandenberg passed away in March of 1996, leaving behind a great legacy.

In 1996, with no one to pass the family business to, Robert reaches an agreement with one of his employees, Darrin Caudill Sr. In 1997 Darrin Caudill became president of Van’s Plumbing & Heating, Inc. Today Darrin runs Van’s with the same standards set by the Vandenberg family, and has grown the size scope, and capabilities of the company. Van's serves the community in commercial and industrial services on medium to large mechanical systems.
