A water heater that quit on a Tuesday was swapped by that Friday: a 2024 customer said Cub picked up a call after 6pm, made time that week despite being booked for three weeks, put in a new 40-gallon water heater, took the old one out and followed up to make sure the hot water worked. That 2024 customer also named an employee, Luke, who stayed until the job was done. Graydon Lewis holds Maine plumber license MS2518, active on the state registry. A 2024 reviewer who described themselves as the owner of a large company called Cub the owner and said he shows up every time. A 2021 customer said Cub called back in less than an hour, flushed out a clogged drain and fixed an outside water spigot at a reasonable price. A 2024 customer said a simple job was not fixed at first, but they came back the same day and fixed it. A 2023 customer said Cub fielded their questions and became their sewer guy. A 2026 customer said Mr. Lewis took care of their cottage for the off season. A 2022 customer left three stars and wrote: "Needed to come back and fix issue. Called twice, hasn't returned yet. Been a few weeks now." On Google, the business holds a 4.9-star rating from 20 ratings.
Mr. Lewis was excellent in taking care of my cottage for the off season .. very professional and reliable. Pleasure to do business with
Highly recommend this plumber.
Knowledgeable, dependable, pleasant, professional, honest, straightforward, really goes the extra mile to help. I have had nothing but good experiences with this company and would highly recommend them to everyone.
As the owner of a large company, I will 100% vouch for Tactical Plumbing & Heating. Cub (the owner) is not only a great human being but a solid business owner and plumber. He does what he says he is going to do and shows up every. single. time. It is sad to say this but this is rare and I appreciate the business relationship we have made. He is the only person I would trust in in the BBH to work on my projects. Thank you Cub for your service and your talents. God bless you, your family and your employees.
10 stars!!! Just call him!!! My water heater went on a Tuesday morning, quite inconvenient to say the least. After freaking out, I scoured the internet in hopes of finding a plumber to come out to my area and get me going. I contacted a few people, one was booked out 3 weeks and the other didn't bother to schedule after giving me an estimate. By Wednesday night I was panicking. Enter Cub...my hero! I called after 6pm fully expecting to have to leave a message but he picked up. Despite being booked for 3 weeks himself, he made time on Friday afternoon of the same week and his quote was more than reasonable!!! My situation presented some challenges, he handled them flawlessly. New 40 gallon water heater in, old one out. Not only that but he ensured a follow up to make certain my hot water was in working order. Shout out to Luke, his employee, who came in as well and stayed until the job was done! I cannot express how grateful I am to have found 82nd tactical and Cub. I'll never do business with anyone else.
