Why Wright’s
We’re a design-build firm, which means we plan and we build — under one roof, one contract, one team. Here’s what that means for you.
Architect, designer, project manager, and crew on one team. No finger-pointing between trades, no scope-creep handoffs, no surprises on day 60.
How we workEvery Wright’s project runs on JobTread. You see the schedule, the budget, the change orders, and daily photos — the same view your project manager has.
See the dashboardEvery Wright’s renovation comes with a 5-year craftsmanship warranty, on top of manufacturer warranties on materials. We stand behind what we build because we build it to be stood behind.
Our warrantyBy the numbers
Project transparency
From the moment we break ground until the final walkthrough, you see the same project view your project manager does. Live budget tracking, daily photos, schedule changes — nothing hidden behind a clipboard.
We’ve lived in this house 20 years. We’ve worked with a half-dozen contractors. None of them did what Wright’s did — we knew what was happening in our kitchen, every single day. It came in three days early, slightly under budget, exactly the way Connor said it would.
How we work
Every project follows the same shape, scaled to fit. You always know what week you’re in, what’s next, and what it costs.
Step 01 · Week zero
A 60-90 minute conversation, in your home, at no cost. We walk the space, listen to what you want, and tell you honestly what’s feasible at what budget.
Free · 60–90 minutesStep 02 · Weeks 1–3
Our designers and project managers build out the scope, materials, and schedule. You get an itemized estimate — every line, every dollar, every week, on paper.
Itemized to the dollarStep 03 · Week 4
Contract signed, deposit paid, start date confirmed. You see the full payment schedule up front — five payments tied to actual milestones, never to “vibes.”

We walk the finished space together, punch-list anything imperfect, fix it, and hand you the warranty. The five-year clock starts the day we hand you the keys back.
5-year craftsmanship warrantyProject tiers

“From design to final walkthrough, Connor and his team made the entire process feel effortless. Our kitchen is now the heart of our home—exactly what we dreamed of.”
Six counties, four hundred completed projects, and every project filed under a real address. Narrow by service, county, or scope to see the work that matches what’s in front of you.
Try widening the scope or removing a county. Or call to talk through what’s actually in front of you.
Four recent projects with the full story — the brief, the constraints, the trade-offs, what made it work. Pick a project, read the room.
The homeowners had a lake. The bathroom faced the lake. The bathroom did not, in any meaningful way, acknowledge that the lake existed. The fix took twelve weeks and reframed every line of sight around the window.
Burns Park’s housing stock punishes ambition: small footprints, original hardwood, neighbors who care about historic character. The brief was a modern galley that could host fourteen people on Thanksgiving without anybody having to eat in the hallway.
Birmingham zoning capped what could happen out, so the addition went up. Eight hundred new square feet, a primary suite with a vaulted ceiling, and a roofline that doesn’t argue with the original ranch — it pivots around it.
A Royal Oak office building from 1928, three previous tenants, drop ceilings hiding what turned out to be the entire structural reason to take the job. Eighteen weeks later, 4,200 square feet of coworking with the brick exposed, the beams visible, and four phone booths nobody can hear out of.
Two projects in the same category, sitting next to each other so the scope conversation gets easier. The difference between a refresh and a full gut is real, and it should be visible before the first site walk.
Both kitchens were designed for the same household — a family of four who cook every night and host twice a month. The scope diverged because one had load-bearing constraints; the budgets diverged because the homeowners had different five-year horizons. The brief never changed.
A finished kitchen looks like a finished kitchen — until something in it fails. The standards below are what separate a Wright’s renovation from one that merely looks the same on day one.
Particleboard cabinets fail at the screw — silently, and usually right after the warranty ends. Wright’s specs furniture-grade plywood boxes with dovetailed drawer joinery and Blum soft-close hardware on every project. The result is a kitchen that still operates like new in year fifteen.
Tile sealed at the grout line is only the visible defense. Schluter Kerdi membrane behind every wet wall is the one that actually keeps water out — and the one most contractors skip to save 1% of the budget.
Cheap trim is butt-jointed and caulked, which means it cracks at the first temperature swing. Wright’s mitered returns and pre-finished joinery hold their line through Michigan winters and summers alike.
Code is the floor, not the spec. Dedicated circuits for high-draw appliances, GFCIs at every wet area, and quarter-turn valves at every fixture mean fewer service calls and a safer house long after handoff.
A finish coat hides everything for 30 days and reveals everything after that. Wright’s prep schedule — sand, fill, prime, sand, two finish coats — is the same on every project, written into the scope, and signed off before paint touches the wall.
Wright’s intentionally runs lean. Every name on this page works on every project. The trade-off is fewer concurrent jobs and more attention paid to the ones in progress.
The team grows two or three people a year, on purpose. If a small company that pays well and runs clean job sites sounds right, the application takes ten minutes.

Connor and his team turned our outdated kitchen into the heart of our home. The project management system meant we always knew what was happening, and the craftsmanship exceeded every expectation.
Will and the carpentry team showed incredible attention to detail on our custom built-ins. Connor personally checked in throughout the project to ensure everything met their high standards.
Katherine coordinated with Connor to bring in their specialized crews at exactly the right times. The transition between teams was seamless — you can tell this isn’t their first renovation.

Ask us anythingMost kitchen remodels take 10 to 16 weeks from demolition to final walkthrough, depending on scope. The team provides a detailed visual timeline during the planning phase so homeowners can track every milestone. Custom cabinetry or structural changes may extend that window, and the proposal covers the exact schedule for each project.
For most projects, no. Wright’s Renovations maintains clean job site standards and contains work areas so families can continue living comfortably. For larger whole-home remodels, the team helps plan the most practical living arrangements and coordinates noisy work around daily schedules.

A 1960s colonial in Burns Park needed more space without losing the neighborhood character that made the homeowners fall in love with it. The Wright’s Renovations team designed and built a 600-square-foot addition that looks like it was always part of the home — with a chef’s kitchen, expanded master suite, and a mudroom that handles Michigan’s worst weather.
View the full projectThe original kitchen was a closed-off galley layout typical of 1960s construction — functional but isolating. The homeowners wanted an open-concept kitchen connected to a new master suite, but the home sat on a narrow lot with strict setback requirements.
The existing foundation required structural reinforcement before any addition could tie in, and the roofline needed to match the colonial aesthetic the Burns Park neighborhood is known for.
The team designed an L-shaped addition that maximized the buildable footprint while exceeding setback requirements. A structural steel beam allowed the load-bearing wall between kitchen and living room to be fully removed, creating a 28-foot sight line through the main living area.
Custom trim profiles were milled to match the home’s original 1960s millwork, and the new roofline was designed with matching pitch and overhang so the addition reads as original construction from the street.
From historic enclaves to new developments, the Wright’s Renovations team understands the architectural character and building requirements unique to each community.

Renovation is one of the largest investments a homeowner makes. The Wright’s team believes that investment should come with more than a handshake — it should come with a commitment to accountability, transparency, and craftsmanship that outlasts trends.
Every project is backed by documented standards, milestone-based payments that protect the homeowner, and a follow-up schedule that proves the team stands behind the work long after the final walkthrough.
Connor showed us a virtual walkthrough of the planned renovation that made it easy to understand every change. The project tracking system let the whole family see real progress photos every day.
The basement had been a damp, cold storage room for twenty years. Katherine and the crew turned it into a space the kids actually want to hang out in. The waterproofing work alone was worth every penny.
Will walked through every line of the estimate and answered questions without a hint of impatience. After two other contractors ghosted after sending quotes, that alone was enough to earn the business.
Wright’s Renovations has rebuilt the contractor experience from the ground up. These are the systems that make it possible.
Every homeowner gets access to a visual timeline showing exactly where the project stands — completed milestones, upcoming phases, and photo documentation at every checkpoint. No more wondering what happened today.
Projects are matched to crews with specific expertise — not whoever is available. Kitchen specialists handle kitchens. Addition crews handle structural work. The result is faster execution, fewer mistakes, and better outcomes.
Homeowners pay as work reaches documented milestones — not on a fixed schedule. Each milestone is verified through inspection and photo documentation before the next payment is triggered. The money follows the work, not the other way around.
Homeowners receive updates before asking for them. Scheduled progress reports, same-day responses to questions, and advance notice of any changes. The team communicates like the project is their own home — because the standard should never be lower than that.
Every project begins with a conversation. The Wright’s Renovations team visits the home, listens to the vision, evaluates the space, and provides an honest assessment — with no obligation and no pressure.
The team responds within 24 hours — typically the same business day.
Every season in Southeast Michigan presents different opportunities for renovation. Here’s what the Wright’s Renovations team recommends — and why timing the start date correctly can save weeks on the project calendar.
Book spring starts in January or February. Permit lead times run 4–6 weeks during peak season.
Busiest months. Projects started in summer should be signed by late spring to lock in crew availability.
Ideal for interior work. Beat the holiday rush by starting interior projects in September.
The smartest homeowners plan in winter and break ground in spring. Scheduling advantage is significant.
