Dave and Brady did a great job repairing repairing a busted drain pipe. The drain pipe was in an awkward spot behind our cabinet. They did a great job and cleaned up after.

Had to have roughly 15 feet of cast iron drain pipe removed and replaced in my basement. Mitchell and Blake came out and did a great job dealing with a pretty bad mess. Very courteous and communicative the entire process. Highly recommended!

Have used Kokesh multiple times. They're always good, personal and precise. Recently they replaced my water heater. During the inspection by city inspector, he saw their tag, made a remark that Kokesh does good and reliable work, spent all the 20 seconds looking at the heater and left.

I have used Kokesh plumbing for many years, and I have had nothing but great experiences. Recently my father needed some plumbing work done at his home. After waiting weeks of trying to schedule his plumber he gave up on them and called Kokesh. The next day Kokesh was on site and took care of all his problems.

Kokesh is the absolute best! They are professional, reliable, and provide expert service. We have had them do multiple repairs on our older home as well as new faucet/sink/garbage disposal installation. Everything has been top notch! Do not hesitate to call them.

Had an emergency water leak that needed immediate attention. Called Kokesh and they were able to get to me in a little over an hour. Plumber came on time and fixed the issue quickly. He was very professional and make the event less stressful. We were able to turn the water back on quickly. Would definitely call on them again.
