The Maeyaert Family

Family-Owned Since 1986

Jon started Sunshine with one rule: do the job right and stand behind it. Four decades later, his son Sam works beside him and Jolene keeps the whole operation running from the office.

Our Story

How Sunshine Started

"Our quality workmanship shines through."

Jon Maeyaert launched Sunshine Sprinkler Systems in 1986 with a simple idea: do good work, use quality materials, and treat every customer the way you would want to be treated. That idea has not changed in nearly four decades.

The West Metro was growing fast in the late eighties, and homeowners in communities like Corcoran, Medina, and Plymouth were putting in their first irrigation systems. Jon was there from the beginning, learning the land, the soil, and the water systems that define this part of Minnesota.

Over the years, he built a reputation one yard at a time. Customers called back. They referred their neighbors. Many of the systems Sunshine installed in the nineties are still running today, serviced by the same company that put them in.

How We Work

What Sets Sunshine Apart

Three things Jon has never been willing to compromise on, no matter how busy the season gets.

No Subcontractors

The people you meet when you call are the people who show up to do the work. Jon and Sam handle installations themselves. There is no rotating crew of strangers, no hand-off between sales and a separate install team.

Done Right the First Time

Jon does not leave a job until the system is running, every head is adjusted, and you know how to use it. If something is not right, he fixes it. That standard has not changed since 1986.

Honest About Everything

Jon will tell you what your property actually needs, not what generates the biggest ticket. If a repair is a better call than a full replacement, he will say so. Customers come back because they trust what Jon tells them.

The Team

The People You Will Work With

Jon Maeyaert

President & Lead Installer

Jon founded Sunshine in 1986 and still does the estimates and installations himself. When he comes to your property, he measures everything, explains your options clearly, and gives you a straight answer.

Sam Maeyaert

Vice President

Sam joined the business and works alongside Jon on installations and service calls. Growing up around the trade, he brings the same attention to detail and the same commitment to finishing a job correctly.

Jolene Maeyaert

Office Manager

Jolene is the first voice you hear when you call. She handles scheduling, estimates, and customer questions, and she keeps the whole operation running smoothly behind the scenes. If you email, she responds.

No Franchise, No Mandate

We Choose the Best Products

Sunshine is not affiliated with any single irrigation brand. That means Jon and Sam are free to specify what they actually believe in for each job, not whatever a franchise contract requires them to sell.

Over nearly four decades of installations across the West Metro, they have worked with every major manufacturer and know what holds up in Minnesota's soil and climate conditions. When Jon specifies a product, it is because he has used it, trusts it, and would put it on his own property.
