Our Storied History of Plumbing Service in the Monroe Area

In 1928, Ernest Kelly and his wife Vivian founded Kelly Plumbing from their home in Monroe, LA. Because of Ernest's plumbing skills, fair prices, and quality work, his plumbing business withstood through the 1930s and the Great Depression.

After World War II, Ernest's sons, Ernest Jr. and Bob Sr., joined the business as journeymen plumbers. The boys continued with new construction work, including remodels and home expansions in addition to plumbing repair. With a focus on customers only in Monroe and West Monroe, the business thrived. By 1974, Bob Sr.'s son Bobby Jr. started working for his dad and uncle after school and during summer break.

In 1994, Bobby Jr. took over Kelly Plumbing. As a third-generation master plumber and owner, Bobby expanded the company's capability by adding backhoes, fiber optic scopes, and hydrojetters to their equipment line. Bobby welcomed 4th generation journeyman plumber and son Robby to his team in 2002. True to its roots, Kelly Plumbing still provides excellent plumbing skills, fair prices, and quality work. They are known throughout the area as one of the best plumbers in Monroe and West Monroe.
