ZIR Contracting is a Quincy, MA outfit run by an owner named Ben, doing residential building and remodeling — decks, porches, window and siding replacement, and general repairs. Recent Google reviews from this spring describe a historic-look front porch rebuild, stucco patchwork left invisible once finished, and ice-dam water damage repairs; in a 2024 review, another customer credited Ben with sorting out an insurance adjuster's requirements on a windows-and-siding job. Several customers come back more than once — in a January 2023 review, one family said Ben had done 'a few projects' that were 'exactly what we were looking for,' and in a 2024 review the Brookline Teen Center called the team 'a life saver' across many small jobs. A 2023 review describes a full kitchen remodel that pulled in his own carpenters, electricians and flooring crew. A June 2024 Reddit post tells a different story about a bathroom project: the poster says it took six months and the finished work leaked, the owner stopped responding to texts, and after hiring an attorney the dispute settled for less than half of the roughly $14,000 sought, with a request attached not to discuss it further. Most of the written record points to a hands-on crew people call back for exterior and repair work; the one account of a bathroom job describes a bad outcome and a contentious resolution, worth asking about directly before signing on for that kind of project.

“Z-IR Con-tracting(remove all hyphens) is not listed on BBB”
“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.
