We noticed a leak late in the afternoon. Called 4 plumbing companies, Kokesh was the only one that could come out and help same day. Dave Massey was great! He walked us through the repair. And even helped with a solution that had been lingering for four years. Thank you Dave and the Kokesh team!!

Scheduling was easy and timely. Reasonable rates and professional service. The plumber, Corey, is pleasant and has absolutely NO creep factor, which is critical when allowing a stranger into your space.

We have used Kokesh Plumbing several times, and they are always prompt, do great work and are wonderful to work with. Mike Nelson just did some work for us, and his work and kind personality made the experience even better than I could have hoped for. I would trust Kokesh, and especially Mike, to do any plumbing needs! Thanks Kokesh!

The plumber was there for approximately one hour. He replaced the…

The cost was a bit steep. But the service person was totally professional. The problem was solved with what appears to be quality work. I appreciate the competent and professional work. I would use the company again. I also would recommend the company to other individuals seeking a competent and professional plumber.

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.
