Jost is exceptional! He gave us a reasonable quote and stuck to his price! He has 40 years experience and is highly skilled. He notices what is needed and does it. He cleaned up the work area afterwards which I really appreciated. He has a very high work ethic and I have already recommended him to my real estate agent, movers, neighbors and the other contractors who worked on my house. I will keep him on speed dial.

I just had the distinct pleasure of meeting Jost, and using his company JW Mechanical Inc.
From the moment he came into the kitchen to look at our dead garbage disposal—it was like watching a machine with precision, skill, and confidence operating at the highest level.
What I admired the most, was his honesty. After taking it apart we talked and decided we didn’t need a new one at all. We went with new piping and accessories (that he supplied on the spot) and secured the wires in an electric box—in case the next owners of the house want to put in a disposal system.
I would highly suggest getting Jost involved in any plumbing issues and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending his incredible talent.
It’s nice to know we have this level of expertise on the Island.
Incredible experience all the way around.

We were fortunate to have hired Jost, of JWN Mechanical, to carry out the challenging job of replacing all the Poly-B pipes in our home. In addition he has now replumbed our ensuite bathroom, to accommodate a complete renovation.
Jost was not only creative in his planning of the many tasks involved, but he was also professional and responsive to our needs. It was a pleasure to have him do the work.
We most definitely would recommend Jost & JWN Mechanical to any homeowner who is requiring plumbing work.

We are extremely happy with Jost's work. He replaced the PolyB in our newly purchased rancher in Parksville. He was efficient, detailed, and very responsive. He's also very supportive of his industry colleagues. We are new to the area and he was quick to recommend other businesses that would assist us with our renovations. I would happily recommend him as your "go-to" plumber!

⭐️Quality Craftmanship
⭐️Fair Pricing
Our bathrooms are really tiny, so having the right size toilet really matters.
We had a toilet in our furnace room that finally we decided to have installed. It was down there for years, as we called another plumber and he told us how to install it ourselves. Well, my husband finally decided to get it out, and we called Jost at JWM Mechanical, and he set a date for the next week, days before Christmas to get it done.
Within an afternoon, a few hours because the flange was broken, it took longer but it was really a good job he did. It works perfectly, and it was a dual flusher we found out.
So we also decided to replace our other 2 toilets which are in really tiny bathrooms, and I was really so glad Jost recommended to me to go to EMCO, and look at their selection of toilets, as I looked in Home Depot and Reno and didn’t find what I wanted. I chose the elongated compact one piece, which is so compact and really fits well in those tiny bathrooms, where we had the round front style before. They both were perfect. Jost also gave us a discount on the 2 toilets from EMCO.
It actually gives us more space, we can actually open the cabinet drawers now for both bathrooms. And they both look really great.
The downstairs toilet is really awesome, and elongated is especially needed, as well as the flushing is whisper quiet, and a different flushing system altogether. The old one ran on and on.
So thanks for all your work you did, especially getting the one pieces fitting nicely around the hose line coming out of the floor and adjusting one of the hose lines out of the way slightly so I could install these type of toilets.
