## The honest read

Wagner Woodworking is a craftsman-led Somerville-area carpentry business run by Cliff Wagner. Its website says it has 25 years in business, is licensed and insured, and focuses on decks, porches, trim restoration, and interior carpentry across Greater Boston and the North Shore.

Customers repeatedly describe porch and deck construction and repair, including rebuilding porches, replacing rotted wood, repairing framing, and building a deck above a garage. They also praise detailed work, clear communication, reliability, and tidy finished results.

The company’s Massachusetts HIC license is registry-verified active. Before booking, confirm the project scope, materials, schedule, and warranty terms; the company advertises a three-month warranty and free on-site consultations.

Wagner Woodworking appears well suited to homeowners needing custom decks, porches, historic trim, and detailed carpentry repairs.

**Strengths:**
- Deck and porch work — repeated praise for rebuilding and repairs
- Clear communication — reviewers cite responsiveness and reliability

**Concerns:**
- Small operator — projects are led by Cliff Wagner and his crew
