He gave me advice on the advantages and cost of installing a…

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.

We are relatively new homeowners living in a condo. As we are fully into spring, we wanted to turn on the pipe for the hose for our (tiny) backyard…and that when we discovered the piping was disconnected and was spurting water out at us when we tried to turn it on! We’ve never had a plumbing service we could…

Corey Woods just spent 2 1/2 days installing a new tankless water heater and replumbing waste lines in 2 bathrooms. He was very professional and went above and beyond helping with a couple of unforseen issues that came up. Will definately ask for Corey when ready to finish a couple of items.

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.

He fixed things handymen had just messed up when the handymen basically wasted our time and money previously. No more…
