Celebrating 130 Years

May 22, 2024

J.J. Kokesh & Sons Inc. is proud to announce their upcoming anniversary of 130 years in the Plumbing Business, making them the oldest plumbing company in St. Louis. They will celebrate with a large party on June 1st, from 11am to 4pm at their location, 408 Kehrs Mill Road, Ballwin, MO 63011.

The celebration will kick off with a ribbon cutting ceremony with the West County Chamber of Commerce and Boy Scouts of America Flag ceremony. Megan and Joe Kokesh, current owners of J.J. Kokesh & Sons Inc., will have music, bar-b-que, beverages, a petting zoo and crafts for the kids, company give-a-ways and door raffles.

J.J. Kokesh & Son Inc. is a family-owned, union, residential and commercial plumbing business that has been serving St. Louis and surrounding counties for 130 years. It has been passed down through four generations, starting with Jerry Joseph Kokesh in 1890. He knew he would be successful if he stuck to some solid basic principles… deliver high quality plumbing service with dependability and professionalism. This formula has served J.J. Kokesh & Son very well.

In September of 2013, Megan and Joseph Kokesh officially took the reins of the business. Together, they updated the company with new vehicles, moved the business to its current location, streamlined their processes and procedures to ensure longevity and prosperity of their company.

Current owner and Master Plumber, Joseph Kokesh, had this to say about J.J. Kokesh & Son,” “I am very proud of the four generations of the Kokesh family before me who have created this brand that is both recognizable and respectable. I especially want to thank our loyal customers for helping us achieve this amazing milestone of 130 years of plumbing service.”

Joe and Megan Kokesh are grateful for this opportunity to show their appreciation to the community that has supported their family business for so many great years. Come join the fun at 408 Kehrs Mill Road, Ballwin, MO 63011. For more information, call 636-391-1233.

READ ABOUT OUR 130 YEAR HISTORY!

2018 Holiday Toy Drive

Dec 8, 2018

Joe and I feel strongly about supporting our community throughout the year but even more so during the holidays. We do this by picking a charity each December to focus our efforts and this year we chose, “Friends of Kids with Cancer”.

This organization is devoted to enriching the daily lives of children undergoing treatment for, and survivors of cancer and blood-related diseases. Their mission is to be an advocate for these special kids and provide them and their families with the educational, emotional and recreational support needed as a result of the long hours of chemotherapy, illness and isolation.

Friends of Kids with Cancer has a proud 25-year history exclusively in St. Louis of helping kids with cancer…be kids. Jill Turec, Developmental Specialist at Mercy Clinic Children’s Cancer and Hematology Center, along with concerned parents, Molly Henry and Susie Snowden, saw the great need to enrich the daily lives and divert the attention of the patients outside of the medical treatments. These three women shared a dream that every child with cancer would experience as much fun, laughter, support and normalcy as possible. It was this idea that was the birth of Friends of Kids with Cancer. Starting in the office of Dr. Bob Bergamini in 1992, “The Toy Closet”, was launched to brighten the long gloomy and painful days spent in the treatment center.

Friends has been driven to meet the ever-evolving needs of not only the patients but their entire families. Everything they do is suggested by medical professionals and patient families. Dr. Bob’s philosophy is to “treat the needs of the entire child…not only the cancer”. Friends is such an important and unique charity because it gives back something that medicine can’t. The Educational, Emotional and Recreational programs build self-esteem and improve the quality of life to assure that the patients and their families remain positive, focused and prepared to meet their future needs.

JJ Kokesh and Son is working towards filling up “The Toy Closet” this Christmas… so that each child can choose something that provides the distraction from treatment and brings much needed joy in their lives. We are collecting:

-Toys for all ages                            -Legos                                  – Barbies, babydolls

-crafts/craft kits                                                       -gift certificates for teenagers 

 -Art supplies                                                                   -comics and coloring books

Every year, we do our best to encourage our customers,suppliers and employees to GIVE… and every single year, we are blown away by the incredible outpouring of love and generous support that we receive. We cannot begin to express our humble gratitude to all who help make this possible. Please think about how you may help us to make Christmas 2018 the most successful year ever!

Happy Holidays!

Megan, Joseph and Jackson Kokesh

Product Highlight: Woodford 22 Series

Nov 5, 2015

Woodford Model 22Woodford Model V22

When ever I find a great new product, my first thought is our customers, which is why I am highlighting the Woodford 22, a hot and cold water outside faucet. Woodford is already our outside faucet of choice, they are virtually maintenance free and won’t freeze or burst in subzero temperatures.  With the added feature of hot water outside, the Woodford 22 becomes a must have amenity!

Having an adjustable hot and cold water faucet within easy reach of your dirtiest projects make them a breeze.  Any spring cleaning from windows, to garages, to siding are finished that much faster with hot water blasting out of your hose.

Summer fun with the kids won’t end in blue lips and fingers when you can add warm water with the turn of a handle to your sprinklers and pools.  Washing pets outside will be faster and easier with your hot and cold outside hose.  I’ve already asked Joe to install one to help make washing Rosie our new puppy, outside that much simpler.  washing dog outside-bulldog

     Making all of your outside projects one step easier is as simple as calling the shop at 636-391-1233 to set up your appointment today!
