Decks, porches and windows are the jobs that fill ZIR Contracting's Google page, and the name customers use is Ben. The Quincy company describes itself as a home improvement and construction outfit doing small repairs, painting, additions and new construction, and its 26 Google ratings average 5 stars. The recent reviews are specific. In April 2026, one homeowner said Ben's crew replaced two windows, cut a new one into a formerly blank wall, did the rough framing, and trimmed and painted the new window outside to match the others; when the Marvin window arrived with an unfinished interior, Ben finished the part the customer was unhappy with. Another replaced a front porch while keeping its original historic look, and even took the house shutters down to sand and paint them. Others this spring describe stucco patchwork, a new deck, and ice-dam water damage repaired. In June 2026, a customer had a front-door threshold replaced and new wood added to an older door frame. The longer history runs back to 2023 and leans on repeat work. An October 2025 reviewer had a deck redone and said it finished on schedule. In a 2023 review, a couple described a kitchen remodel with new lighting, built with Ben's carpenters, electricians, and granite and flooring crews; another 2023 customer had a large porch and patio project delivered on time, and several that year said they had hired the team for multiple projects at fair prices. In a 2024 review, a customer said Ben replaced windows and damaged siding and worked through the insurance adjuster's requirements. There is one sharp warning. In a June 2024 Reddit post, a homeowner said they had hired the company for a bathroom project the year before, that it took six months and was delivered with a leak, that their texts went unanswered and compensation was refused, and that they had hired an attorney to try to get their money back. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #198621, held by Benjamin Elgeziry, has expired.

“I hired Z-i-r-Contracting(remove all hyphen)for my bathroom project last year. And they took 6 months to deliver me a leak bathroom. The owner ignored my text messages and refuse to compensate my damage. I have hired an attorney since then to try to get my money back and my damage compensated. So far the case is not going well. My ask was $14k, they only came up with $6500 and also ask me to sign an agreement to not speak further about my experience.”
Zir Contracting is a very pleasant and professional company. They replaced the threshold on our front door and seamlessly added a new piece of wood to an older door frame. They were very reliable and responsive in communication. They were neat and very pleasant. I will be working with them again on future projects.
Amazing experience, reliable & great work! 10/10
Had Ben and his crew take care of some patchwork on my stucco and i swear you could not see where it was done! They also installed a beautiful deck for a really reasonable price. I would absolutely use them again for my next home project
Happy to recommend ZIR Contracting! I had two windows replaced and one new window installed in a formerly blank wall. Ben was great to work with from start to finish. He was able to explain the work well when I first met him, and his team did solid work on the rough framing. They also did a great job of trimming out and painting that new window to match the others on the exterior. My upstairs neighbors were happy with the result, too! The new window came a bit unfinished from Marvin on the interior, and Ben finished out the part I was unhappy with. A few other small things I pointed out he addressed. All along the way he answered many questions and helped me make some aesthetic decisions. His crew did a good job clearing up both inside and out, were efficient, and the budget was reasonable for the work. I would definitely hire ZIR Contracting again.
Ben and his crew replaced my front porch while keeping the original historic look. Ben was great to work with from start to finish and his guys were skilled professionals keeping the site safe and clean everyday. They even took my house shutters down to sand and paint. Would highly recommend Zir contracting to anyone no matter the size of project large or small. Great work Ben thank you.
