About Jolly

Plumbing, HVAC & Electrical Contractors in Cincinnati, OH & Northern Kentucky

Jolly has been serving Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky homes since 1979, growing from a local plumbing company into the team homeowners call for plumbing, drain and sewer, heating, cooling, and electrical work. With teams based in both Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati, we stay connected to the communities we serve and are ready to respond when something goes wrong. We believe home service should feel straightforward: show up on time, explain the problem clearly, and do the work the right way without making it more complicated than necessary.

When something needs attention, you want it handled the right way. Jolly keeps your home running with service you can count on.

    Our History

    It Started Small. It Stayed That Way in the Ways That Matter.

    Jolly started as a small local plumbing company in 1979 and has grown into a team that handles plumbing, drain and sewer, heating, cooling, and electrical work across Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati. That growth came through steady work and a simple approach: take ownership of the job, be honest about what needs to be done, and follow through until it is finished. Those same values still guide the company today, with a focus on showing up prepared, explaining the situation clearly, and putting in the work to get it done properly, which is how Jolly has built long-standing trust with the homeowners it serves.

    Do the work right. Treat people fairly. Keep it simple.

    Jolly has been serving Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati homes since 1979, and that kind of longevity comes down to the people doing the work every day. We look for individuals who take pride in what they do, show up ready to work, and treat customers the right way.

    This is a hands-on environment where effort matters. You will be part of a team that supports each other, communicates clearly, and takes ownership of the job from start to finish.

    Update (since i am not tech savvy enough to figure out how to write a brand new review...) Nathan came to my home on 5/22 for an annual AC service. I was the last appointment standing between him and a holiday weekend. Also, it was pouring rain outside. Despite these factors, he took the time to clean the dirty coils on my outside AC equipment. He was beyond friendly and the absolute picture of professionalism! Rico came to my house to do my annual furnace check. He was incredibly friendly, professional, and helpful. He showed me a specific thing that he noticed that I could take care of today and he was very transparent about the pricing and there was absolutely no pressure to take care of it on the spot. But once I agreed, he got right to work and finished it within minutes. I would be more than happy to have him at my home again! Everyone that has been at my home from Jolly has been top notch

    Rico is EXCELLENT and diagnosed my HVAC system that shut down because of severe corrosion and leaking. The next day Jake and Nic completely replaced and had running my old system with a current high end Daikin system. They were highly professional and left my house pristine, like they were never there. Five stars to the entire Jolly organization.
