## The honest read

John Langwig & Company Inc. is a Somerville, Massachusetts remodeling and carpentry business. Houzz describes it as a full-service remodeler with more than 30 years of experience, and lists John Langwig & Company among its kitchen, bathroom, and home-remodeling categories.

The dated Houzz reviews, all from 2014–2015, describe repeated work on kitchens, bathrooms, additions, decks, finish carpentry, flooring, and repairs after water damage. Customers specifically praised meticulous work, clear communication, on-time completion, working within budget, thoughtful design suggestions, and careful subcontractor coordination. One reviewer described a wood floor installed after flooding that matched the adjacent older floors.

Houzz reports 5.0 stars from 13 ratings and shows nine projects, while a public permit listing says John Langwig filed four Boston building permits since 2012. The written accounts are strong but old, so homeowners should confirm current availability and whether the business is still taking new work.

This appears best suited to kitchen and bathroom remodeling, additions, finish carpentry, and broader home renovations in the Boston-area market. Confirm the current operating status, scope, license details, schedule, subcontractors, and written budget before booking.

**Strengths:**
- Finish carpentry — reviewer calls John a fine finish carpenter
- Project coordination — customers praise subcontractor management
- Timely completion — reviews cite on-time work
- Wood flooring — flooding repair matched existing floors

**Concerns:**
- Aged reviews — written customer accounts date from 2014–2015
- Current availability — confirm the business is taking new projects
