Paul E Jewett

Paul E Jewett Construction is a one-employee, Whitman-based masonry and construction outfit that's been doing permitted work across Massachusetts since 2005 — chimney rebuilds, retaining walls, foundation underpinning, siding and roofing, per its long BuildZoom permit history. The company itself says it's been in business since 1991, and its Massachusetts Construction Supervisor license, plus nine others, is verified active on BuildZoom. The written record here is thin and split. In a 2020 Angi review, a homeowner described the crew finishing within the agreed timeline and coming back two weeks later, unprompted, to fix something they'd caught on their own review — at no charge. A 2021 BuildZoom review tells a different story about a bathroom remodel: the reviewer, who supplied materials and paid for labor only, described an unreliable crew that missed scheduled days, tile work that had to be redone, and a wall repair issue. Worth asking about directly: how a bathroom or full-room remodel project is staffed and scheduled, given the one detailed complaint on file describes exactly that kind of multi-trade job going wrong. BBB lists the company as an A+ business with no complaint history shown on its own page, and Angi and HomeAdvisor each show a single 5-star rating, drawn from the same 2020 review. For masonry work — a chimney, retaining wall, or foundation project — the licensing and permit history run deep; for anything closer to a full remodel, get specifics on crew reliability up front.
