Your Trusted Partner for Home Improvement in Sarasota
Quality Craftsmanship | Honest Service | Lasting Results Since 1995
For over 25 years, Fix-it Wright Home Improvements has been transforming homes throughout Sarasota and the surrounding communities. What started as one man with a toolbox and a commitment to quality has grown into a trusted team of skilled craftsmen—but our core values have never changed.
We believe every home deserves attention to detail, every homeowner deserves honest advice, and every project deserves to be done right the first time. That's not just a philosophy—it's how we've built our reputation as one of Sarasota's most trusted home improvement experts.
Our Story
Built on a Foundation
of Craftsmanship and Community
The Beginning
In 1995, Sarasota native John Wright founded Fix-it Wright Home Improvements with a simple but powerful vision: to provide homeowners with the quality craftsmanship and personalized service that seemed to be disappearing from the home improvement industry.
Starting with small repair jobs and handyman services, John quickly built a reputation for showing up on time, doing what he promised, and treating every home with the same care he'd want for his own. Word spread through neighborhoods, and soon those small repairs turned into bathroom remodels, then kitchen renovations, and eventually complete home transformations.
Growth Through Trust
What sets our growth story apart is how it happened—not through aggressive marketing or cutting corners to scale quickly, but through satisfied customers who told their friends, neighbors, and family members about their experience. To this day, the majority of our business comes from referrals and repeat clients, a testament we're incredibly proud of.
As demand grew, John carefully assembled a team of skilled craftsmen who shared his commitment to quality and customer service. Every team member is thoroughly vetted, experienced in their trade, and trained in our approach to home improvement—one that prioritizes lasting results over quick fixes.
Today
More than 25 years later, we've completed hundreds of projects throughout Sarasota, Siesta Key, Venice, Bradenton, and surrounding areas. From minor repairs to major renovations, from historic home restorations to modern remodels, we've seen it all—and learned something from every project. We're still locally owned and operated, still committed to the same values that guided us from day one, and still treating every client like a neighbor (because in this community, they often are).
Meet John Wright
Founder
John Wright isn't just the name on the business—he's a hands-on expert who remains personally involved in every project. Born and raised in Sarasota, John has deep roots in this community and an intimate understanding of local homes, climate challenges, and what it takes to create lasting quality in Southwest Florida.
Experience That Matters
With over 25 years in the home improvement industry,
John has developed expertise across all aspects of residential construction and remodeling:
Complete home renovations
Kitchen and bathroom remodeling
Custom carpentry and woodworking
Structural repairs and modifications
Historic home restoration
Coastal home maintenance
A Different Approach
What distinguishes John's approach is his commitment to honest communication. He'll tell you when a repair makes more sense than a replacement, when you can save money without sacrificing quality, and when you should invest more for lasting results. This transparency has earned him not just customers, but relationships that span decades.
Community Connection
Beyond business, John is active in the Sarasota community, supporting local schools, youth sports programs, and charitable organizations. He believes in giving back to the community that has supported his business and raising the standard for what local contractors can be.
What We Believe
The Values That Guide Every Project
Quality Over Shortcuts
We believe in doing things right, even when no one's watching. Proper preparation, quality materials, and proven techniques cost more and take longer—but they deliver results that last. We'll never compromise your home's quality to save time or money.
Honest Communication
We believe you deserve straight answers, realistic timelines, and transparent pricing. If we see a problem, we'll tell you. If there's a more cost-effective solution, we'll share it. If we make a mistake, we'll own it and make it right.
Respect for Your Home
We believe your home is your sanctuary, and we treat it accordingly. Clean work practices, careful protection of your belongings, and thorough daily cleanup aren't extras—they're standard on every project.
Fair Pricing
We believe in competitive pricing that reflects the quality of our work without inflating costs. You'll receive detailed, itemized estimates that clearly explain what you're paying for and why.
Continuous Improvement
We believe there's always something new to learn. Whether it's new materials, updated techniques, or better ways to serve our clients, we're committed to growing and improving our craft.
Community Commitment
We believe in supporting the community that supports us. That means fair employment practices, supporting local suppliers when possible, and contributing to local causes that make Sarasota better.
