## The honest read

J.R. Gerrish & Sons says it has been in business for 63 years, and its website lists Acton, Baldwin and Hollis in its service area. The company also says its people are firefighters and coaches and have served on town and school committees.

A 2024 customer said Jeb had just completed an excavation project for their garage addition and that they would gladly hire Gerrish and Sons again. A 2023 customer said Jeb repaired and pumped their septic system quickly and affordably. A 2025 customer said Jeb's work came in on time and on budget.

A recent customer who had two men come to pump septic said one was respectful, while the other was rude during the visit and again on the phone, and said they will be going somewhere else from now on.

**Strengths:**
- Garage-addition excavation — a 2024 customer would gladly hire them again
- Septic repair — a 2023 customer said it was quick and affordable
- On time, on budget — a 2025 customer's description of Jeb's work

**Concerns:**
- A rude worker — a recent customer said so, during the visit and by phone
