A Letter from the President, John Cannon
As the saying goes, “they aren’t building any more land.”
Simply put, if you have a lot on one of the beautiful keys along the southwest Florida coast, have you considered building your dream home? Or, perhaps you’ve considered building a home, then offering it for resale? Then please consider John Cannon Homes.
Why John Cannon Homes?
For one reason, we’ve been here for over 36 years, building in many of southwest Florida’s most prestigious waterfront communities. We have earned a solid reputation for excellence, as a premier designer and builder of luxury custom homes.
Recognition. Just this year:
- Our 2 models both won Best Overall in this year's Parade of Homes, hosted by the Manatee Sarasota Building Industry Association.
- We have been voted Best Builder in the prestigious Sarasota Herald-Tribune’s Readers’ Choice Awards for 2023 – our 31st year by readers in Manatee, Sarasota and Venice.
- Voted the Best Home Builder | SRQ Magazine's Best of SRQ Local 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023.
- Voted the Best Home Builder | Sarasota Magazine's Best of the Best 2023.
Secondly, our commitment to what YOU want is first and foremost. We have worked with folks from Canada, Europe and across the United States. We know how to work “long-distance,” we continually stay in touch if questions arise to make sure there are no surprises along the way.
Thirdly, when you build a John Cannon home, you’ll enjoy real “buying power” because of our long-standing national and local vendor relationships. We mean it when we say “where affordability meets luxury” and one reason we can deliver on that promise is our confidence you will get the best possible price for all materials used in the building of your home. Plus, every John Cannon home is backed by both a Contractor’s Limited Warranty and a 10-Year structural warranty.
Your “On-Your-Lot Experts”
Before any building starts, however, the most important decision is how the home will work on your site. Often an inexperienced home builder, one who isn’t trained or concerned about understanding a site and it's special needs, or perhaps isn’t a hands-on developer, may run into problems and cause unnecessary delays costing you time and money. The “devil in the details” starts on-site and we are experts when it comes to site evaluation. Remember, each home we build is a custom home and adjustments in taste, style, and also your special site considerations are what we do best.
