VSgencontractor is a Waltham general contractor run by Victor, whose written record goes back to at least 2013 — 13 years and 37 reviews without a single negative one. Victor holds an active Massachusetts trade license, and the Better Business Bureau lists the company as A+ rated and accredited since 2014. The specifics span nearly every category of home work: multiple porch and deck rebuilds, including a 3-story front deck with a new retaining wall in Jamaica Plain and a 125-year-old front porch one homeowner had trouble finding anyone else willing to take on; complicated roof-deck projects in Boston that reviewers say could have easily gone sideways without Victor's attention to detail; full kitchen and bathroom remodels; a renovation of a two-family home in Watertown that overhauled the electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems and added two fully tiled bathrooms; and structural work on century-old properties, including a full renovation of a four-family building constructed in 1878. Several customers describe hiring Victor more than once — one used him for a sunroom and bathroom remodel and came back for a basement project; another has now worked with him on a second investment property. A 2024 review describes switching to Victor after a previous contractor spent eight months on just the foundation and frame, calling the delay unacceptable — Victor's projects are repeatedly described as finished on time and, in several reviews, under the price quoted by other contractors. Reviewers from as far back as 2013 through the most recent 2026 reviews describe the same pattern: responsive communication, fair pricing, and Victor personally staying involved through the entire project. There's essentially no negative note across more than a decade of work here. For a porch, deck, kitchen, bathroom, or full-home renovation — especially one on an older property with structural surprises — VSgencontractor's licensed status and long, consistent track record make it a strong option.

Elmer did an excellent job from start to finish. His level of organization and attention to detail truly stand out. The entire process was smooth, on time, and very well executed. His team is highly professional, respectful, and efficient, which made everything run seamlessly. One thing I especially appreciate is that once the project is completed, he brings in a cleaning professional to make sure everything is left spotless, just as it was originally. I highly recommend him without hesitation.
When it was time to rebuild our 125-year-old front porch, we had a heck of a time finding someone who would do the work. We ended up choosing Victor and we're very glad we did. Victor is very patient, cooperative and kind. I'm kind of a lot, and he did a great job of putting up with me. We experienced a number of setbacks and delays because I insisted on very specific materials for certain things, and he was right there with me the whole way, even when we ended up special-ordering shingles from halfway across the country. Victor's team are all highly skilled and take pride in their work. They demolished the old porch, removed all debris, and built us a brand new one. They fixed the siding the old one had messed up. They replaced the gutters with new ones. They patched up the newly-exposed part of the chimney. Every last detail. I also didn't have to hassle Victor to get a permit; he just did it. Which is such a baseline expectation it shouldn't make him stand out amongst his competition. Sadly, it very much does. Whenever you take on a home remodeling project like this, you have a picture in your mind of what you want. For this project, we had really specific ideas, a mix of old and new, materials and techniques. Which is normal. And it never turns out that way. Not once in all the renovation and rebuilding projects I've done over the years. Reality just doesn't live up to imagination. So I don't know how to put this in terms that will communicate how rare and remarkable it is. Our porch is exactly right. It is exactly what we wanted, and looks exactly how we imagined it. I don't think there's any possible stronger recommendation I can give than that. We couldn't be happier. And I am pretty sure that in another 125 years, whoever is living in this house is going to say, "Well, the place is showing some real wear, but at least the front porch is still in great shape."
We worked with Victor on our basement project and appreciated his professionalism. He is a great communicator and was always very responsive whenever we had questions. He took responsibility for the process and ensured any issues were handled quickly. A very nice person to work with.
Beautiful and clean work.👌
I used VSGencontractor Inc for a complicated roof deck project in Boston. Victor, who is the owner, was very helpful in figuring out the various issues involved with the project. Without his knowledge and attention to detail things could have easily gone sideways. The work was performed on time and on budget and I was happy with the overall result. I would strongly recommend VSGencontractor based on my experience. Andrei
