ZIR Contracting

A deck redone only after walking the homeowner through the design first, a front door threshold blended seamlessly into an old frame — these are the kind of jobs people keep describing when they talk about Zir Contracting. Based in Quincy, the company calls itself a residential building and remodeling outfit that handles everything from small repairs and painting up through additions, and reviewers consistently deal directly with a contractor named Ben, who runs the crews on site. In the last few months alone, the jobs on record read like a punch list of exterior and structural work: stucco patched invisibly before a new deck went in, two windows replaced with matched trim and paint on the outside, a porch rebuilt while keeping its original look, shutters pulled down for a fresh coat of paint, and an ice-dam water damage repair worked out directly with the homeowner's insurer. A realtor referred one client whose home Zir fixed up before it went on the market. None of the seven Google reviews from the last six months report a complaint. That consistency isn't new. The company shows up across Google, americanhomequotes.com, and a local business directory going back to 2023, and some reviewers describe being repeat customers who've called Zir back for several different projects over the years. americanhomequotes.com puts its overall score at 4.8, and the Google average holds at a full 5 stars across 26 ratings. One thing worth flagging: the company's own site lists new construction alongside its remodeling work, but nothing in the reviews describes a ground-up build — what actually shows up is porches, decks, additions, windows, and repairs. For anything sized like a full addition or new build, it's worth asking to see photos of a comparable project first. Zir Contracting reads like the right call for exterior and structural work on an existing house — a deck, a porch, a window swap, storm damage — where having one point of contact who shows up and explains the plan matters more than a large rotating crew.
