Our Story

We strive to treat others the way we want to be treated. 

How It All Started

Wagner was founded in 2001 by Allen and Lisa Wagner. Allen dreamed of working for a construction company that valued people and doing the right thing over turning a profit. He became determined to create that place and Wagner General was born. Starting with the two of them in their upstairs “computer room,” Allen and Lisa created what is now a two-branch commercial construction company of 60+ employees that strives to put clients’ and employees’ needs above those of the owners and emphasizes a culture of honesty as well as teamwork.

Our Core Values

Several years ago, our ownership team took the time to sit down and evaluate our current company. A few values stood out as not only accurate of who we are, but also what we strive to be. These core values define who we are and how we work.

  • At Wagner, we aim to be Wholehearted, or honest and sincere in our approach to our jobs and lives.
  • We want to remain Approachable, keeping ourselves down to earth and humble to always build environments for questions to be asked and answers to be given without anyone feeling dumb.
  • We want to continue to Grow, always learning and constantly improving our processes.
  • We want to be Neighborly, always helping those around us to achieve their goals.
  • We tend to be a pretty Easy-going bunch, taking time to laugh at ourselves and each other even amid the busyness and chaos we often find ourselves in.
  • Lastly, we strive to keep Reliability amongst our team, producing high quality work and relationships you can trust.

We quote these values at every company meeting, and we end with quoting the Bible verse Proverbs 16:3, “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.” We remind ourselves of this along with these values because we believe staying true to these words and these values is how we want to build a lasting legacy in the construction industry and with everyone we work with.

The Road Ahead

As we look ahead, we are excited about the opportunities to grow and innovate, while staying true to the values that have shaped our success. We are committed to continuous improvement, building lasting partnerships, and tackling new challenges with creativity and determination. The road ahead is filled with promise, and we are ready to embrace the future together with confidence.
