After experiencing water pressure problems and confirming they were not related to American Water, we turned to J.J. Kokesh & Son for help. Mike Nelson, the plumber, came in and quickly and accurately assessed the source of the problem. Not only did he solve the valve problem, but he also went through the house…

The plumber was pleasant. That being said, I felt their prices were pretty steep. Just an update. We had a leak in an upstairs bathroom that was leaking down the drywall into our dining room downstairs and a leaky faucet in our downstairs bathroom. The plumber was there for approximately one hour. He replaced the…

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.

I accidentally drilled into a water pipe in my bathroom and had water leaking down to the basement. In extreme panic, I called JJ Kokesh and got through to Lindsay on the emergency line since it was after hours, and she helped get a hold of someone to come out to my house within an hour. The person that showed up…

Mike was the BEST plumber we have ever had in our home. He was on time, professional, discussed each problem we were having and fixed virtually everything on a long list spending all day with us. He fixed things handymen had just messed up when the handymen basically wasted our time and money previously. No more…

All of the staff & Kokesh Plumbing is so helpful. I was able to pick out a kitchen faucet on Moen's website & they were able to order if for me through their supplier. The faucet is beautiful!
