## The honest read

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.

**Strengths:**
- A same-week water heater — a 2024 customer said it was installed that Friday
- A same-day fix — a 2024 customer said they came back that day
- A quick callback — a 2021 customer said Cub called back within an hour

**Concerns:**
- An unfinished fix — a 2022 customer had called twice over a few weeks
