Jamstar Quality Masonry, LLC's most detailed account on file is a 2023 Google review describing a large wall-building job that went wrong. After the crew finished, a front wall built over four feet high collapsed. An engineer who builds walls for the state transportation department examined it and told the homeowner exactly what had been done incorrectly — missing drainage and inadequate support. Jamstar disagreed and refused to fix it; within two weeks the back wall came down too. The homeowner says they had already paid the majority of the contract when the company walked away. The same review does note the cosmetic finish work was good, even as it describes the structural failure underneath. A second review, from 2025, is unrelated to workmanship: it reports one of the company's trucks driving aggressively and nearly causing a collision on Route 6A in Orleans. Only these two reviews are on file, and Google's own rating for the business is 1 star from 2 ratings. There isn't yet an independent account of a masonry job that held up, so anyone considering a retaining or garden wall of real height should ask directly about drainage design, engineering sign-off, and what happens if a wall fails after completion — and avoid paying most of the contract before that work is inspected.
Their truck cut me off driving aggressively and almost hit me today on rte 6A in Orleans
Had a big project Jamstar worked on and the finish work is great, but structurally EVERYTHING was done wrong for the sections over 4’ high. The front wall collapsed and we had an engineer that builds walls for the transportation department come out and tell them exactly what they did wrong. The engineer also told them the back wall would fall as well because they didn’t build it correctly, lacking proper drainage and support. They disagreed and refused to fix it. Within two weeks of finishing, both walls collapsed and because we stupidly paid the majority of the work, Jamstar walked away leaving us having to hire another another firm to come out and fix all their work; they had to take the remaining blocks down, dig deeper and back, correctly building it. Now we have to go after Jamstar for remedy for their incorrect work. Like I said, finish work is good, but would not let them do any work on walls higher than 4 feet without engineer approval.
