We have used them several times over the past two months for simple problems like dripping faucets to a water heater replacement and a stack replacement. They are always on time and very professional.

Their team was professional, friendly, and transparent. They took the time to show me what was wrong, what would happen if we did nothing, and what the right solution was. I couldn’t be happier with Kokesh Plumbers. I highly recommend them.

Corey and Amber came out to install a new water heater. They were prompt, friendly, and pleasant to work with. Very sweet and kind to my 20 month old toddler that continued to “uh oh” with them and call them/ask them if they are mamas and dadas (lol). They will have our business again.

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.

We had our 15 year old water heater replaced today by Corey, with Kokesh and Son. Corey was an absolute pleasure to have in the house, and we could not have asked for a more knowledgeable, and helpful plumber be assigned to this job. It was an upgrade we’ve looked forward to, but held off on due to other priorities.…

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.

Billy was fantastic with fixing an installation that had been started by another guy. He also replaced the pressure gauge for the house. I will always request Billy - he's a gold medal guy.

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!

The owner and employees are professional and friendly. They are flexible and easy to work with. The plumber who installed the water heater did a fantastic job. When the City Inspector came out, he asked if he could take pictures because it was the best installation he's ever seen!

In November 2020, we had a leak in our front yard. Since Kokesh has been our go to plumber, I called them. Megan quickly determined that our problem was with the water service line to our house and emailed me the paperwork to contact the St. Louis County Water Service Line Repair. Part of our water bill is a fee…
