2024 What a Year It’s Been!

As we wrap up another incredible year, we want to take a moment to reflect on all that we’ve accomplished together and express our heartfelt gratitude. From the projects we’ve had the privilege to complete, to the generous donations we’ve collected for those in need, none of it would have been possible without YOU. It’s been an honor to serve such amazing customers who inspire us daily with their kindness and trust.

Take a look back with us on what this year had to offer

Plumbing Badge Clinic with The Boy Scouts

We hosted 2 Plumbing Badge Clinics for The Boy Scouts of America! This was a fantastic chance for scouts to earn badges and gain practical knowledge, from fixing leaks to understanding water systems, that will serve them for years to come.

Giving Back

Kokesh Plumbing became a drop off site for the Saint Louis Diaper Bank.

We donated 244 lbs of food and personal care items to Circle of Concern!

Collected backpack and school supply donations for a local elementary school.

Collected donations for 2 local families with 100 Neediest.

Working Hard Around Town

We take pride in working hard across the Saint Louis area, serving both local businesses and residential homes with expert plumbing solutions. From repairing leaks to installing top-of-the-line systems, we’re dedicated to keeping our community running smoothly. No matter the project, our team delivers quality workmanship and reliable service every time.

Networking & Industry Involvement

We value building strong connections with fellow business owners and sharing our expertise to strengthen our community. Whether it’s attending expos, celebrating the openings of local businesses, serving on the board of The Plumbing Industry Council, or touring the Union Training Center, we’re committed to growing alongside Saint Louis’ thriving network of professionals. Together, we’re shaping the future of our industry and our community.

Celebrating our 130th Anniversary

This year, Kokesh Plumbing celebrated an incredible milestone—our 130th anniversary! It’s truly humbling to have been part of this amazing community for so long, building strong ties and lasting relationships. We’re so grateful to everyone who came out to celebrate with us and to all who have supported us throughout the years. Here’s to continuing the legacy together!

As 2024 comes to a close, we’re proud to reflect on the incredible projects, milestones, and connections we’ve shared this year. From serving our amazing customers to strengthening our community ties, it’s been a year to remember. Thank you for your continued trust and support—here’s to an even better 2025! We can’t wait to serve you in the year ahead!
