[Member name removed], We have just recently rejoined Angie's List so I am sorry it has taken us awhile to respond to you. I have looked back in our records and it seems that you are right. This year my husband and I took over Kokesh as the fourth generation. We are hoping to right any mistakes in form the previous years and if you would like we could contact you to find a solution we would love the chance to make it right. I will have someone reach out to you later this week.

Please see above.
Description of Work: I had an upstairs bathroom that was leaking on to the first floor. They came out and put in a new drain for about $200. However, the next time the bathroom was used (which was some time later as it's only used when my daughter is visiting) it still leaked. I called them and they said it was still under warranty and they would come out and take a look. So the second time they decided that the leak is due to bad tiles and since it wasn't the drain that they replaced I needed to pay $125 for the second service charge. I thought this was unfair and I will not use them any more.

[Member name removed], I'm sorry it took us some time to get back to you. We apologize for any inconvenience. My husband Joe Kokesh and I just took over Kokesh plumbing. While I know we can't do anything to change what happened 5 years ago. We would appreciate the chance to win you back. I will contact you later this week and send some coupons out for a discounted service call.

Plumber did not arrive until after 1:00 when scheduled for early morning, no one called to say they would be late. Plumber advised he would need to know thickness of new wall and tiles to be installed so he could set pipes for bathtub on next visit. When he arrived to set tub, he said he could not finish work(even though I had thickness of wall and tiles) because we had not purchased our fixtures from Kokesh, but purchased Moen product from Lowes so would have to come back. Said he arrived five minutes earlier than I clocked and charged $25 for extra five minutes. Clean up was poor, dryer was scratched, did not arrive on time, office scheduled appointment for wrong week, canceled second appointment at last minute & came next day. For each appointment scheduled I had to be home instead of working at office. Plumber seemed to take a lot of time, miscalculated time, & I believe overcharged. Would not hire them again even though plumber was polite and final work seemed fine.
Description of Work: Replaced hot & cold faucets in laundry room, replaced shut off valve on toilet, capped off pipes in bathtub on first visit. On second visit set tub, worked on pipes in bathtub - left capped off to be completed on third visit. On third visit connected faucets in tub.

[Member Name Removed], When we rejoined Angie's list after my husband and I took over the business, I thought that I had contacted anyone that had any issues. I want to apologize that you had a bad experience and that I missed your review. We would love the chance to regain your trust. Please let us know if there is anything that we can do, unfortunately I could not find any contact information in our system. Thank you Megan Kokesh

I've used Kokesh for 16 years and would hire them again. Although they are a bit pricey, their work is reliable and the workmen are always courteous and professional.
Description of Work: The plumber installed a copper line from kitchen sink to refrigerator and hooked up ice maker. The cost may seem high, but the plumber had to drill through several cabinets and also had to locate the water shut-off for the building. It was a full 3 hour job.

Called on the night of July 4th and left message. Received return call next morning to see what the problem was. Due to the holiday, they could not come out to fix the problem for almost 1 week. I could not wait that long. Have used them in the past and have been pleased, I would try them again in the future.

I've used them for many years and have always been pleased with their work. This time, they had to use a router to clear the line, and it marked up the inside of the toilet by scratching the enamel. I haven't been able to get the marks out. I'm going to contact them about the problem to see if they will take care of it. Other than that, I've always been pleased.

INITIALLY HAD ANOTHER COMPANY COME IN TO FIX THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, I WAS UNHAPPY WITH THEIR WORK, AND CONTACTED JJ KOKESH. JOE - THE PROJECT MANAGER CAME OUT AND POINTED OUT THE ISSUES FROM THE EARLIER JOB. GAVE ME A BID TO FIX, AND COMPLETE ENTIRE JOB. THEY WERE NOT THE CHEAPEST - BUT TOOK CARE OF EVERYTHING. INSPECTIONS, PERMITS, SUPPLIES. IF YOU WANT A JOB WELL DONE, AND NO LOOSE ENDS TO TIE UP, GIVE THEM A CALL. JOE ESPECIALLY MADE ME FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE IN HIS DIRECT AND HONEST APPROACH.

THEY PERFORMED THE WORK ON THE DATE SCHEDULED, AND THE INSTALLATION WAS DONE JUST AS PLANNED. QUALITY OF WORK WAS GOOD. MY ONLY COMPLAINT: THE PRICE WAS REALLY HIGH (COMPARED TO WHAT I EXPECTED TO PAY.). I HAD RECEIVED THEIR QUOTATION BY MAIL, AND WHEN I PHONED TO ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT IT MY CALLS WERE NEVER RETURNED. I WAS GOING TO PASS THEM BY, BUT THEN I GOT A QUOTE FROM ANOTHER COMPANY IN THE AREA AND HE WAS MUCH HIGHER STILL, SO I WENT WITH KOKESH.
Description of Work: WE ARE DOING A MAJOR KITCHEN REMODEL, INVOLVING MOVING THE SINK/DISHWASHER TO ANOTHER SPOT. KOKESH RAN THE WATER LINES, DRAIN LINE AND VENT TO THE NEW LOCATION. THEY ALSO PUT IN A GAS LINE FOR OUR NEW OVEN.
