"Our cottage kitchen a block off Pine Avenue had the same closed-off layout since the 1960s. CMK opened it into the living room and gave us a bright, coastal kitchen that still feels like old Anna Maria Island. The design session at their Sarasota studio made every choice easy, and our project manager was on-site multiple times a week. Stunning result."
We Know Anna Maria Island Kitchens Better Than Anyone
The City of Anna Maria is unlike anywhere else on the Gulf Coast. Old-Florida beach cottages a block off the sand. Low-rise homes and small condominiums kept low by the city's strict height limits. The blocks near Pine Avenue, Bean Point, and Bayfront Park. Every one has its own character, and every kitchen has its own challenges.
CMK Construction has been remodeling Anna Maria Island kitchens for over two decades. We understand compact cottage floor plans, the older plumbing hidden in mid-century homes, the open-concept conversions island homeowners want most, and the permit requirements unique to the City of Anna Maria Building Department. We build bright coastal kitchens with islands, name-brand appliances, and finishes chosen in person at our Sarasota Design Studio, and we build with materials that stand up to salt air.

Anna Maria Island Cottages Have Character. Their Kitchens Usually Don't.
The City of Anna Maria is unlike anywhere else on the Gulf Coast. Old-Florida beach cottages near Pine Avenue. Low-rise homes near Bean Point and Bayfront Park. Small condominiums kept low by the city's strict height limits. Many were built decades ago, and most have the kitchen layouts to prove it.
Closed-off galley kitchens. Cramped peninsulas. Walls between the kitchen and the Florida room that made sense when the cottage was built and don't make sense now. Anna Maria Island homes have real character, but the kitchens often don't match how families and seasonal owners actually use them today.
We specialize in open-concept conversions that respect the bones of your home while giving you the kitchen you've always wanted. Load-bearing walls removed with proper beam support and City of Anna Maria permits. Cast-iron drain lines replaced. Galvanized supply lines swapped out. Original cottage character preserved where it matters; modern coastal function added everywhere else, with materials chosen to hold up to salt air.

Real reviews from Anna Maria Island kitchen remodel clients across Pine Avenue, Bean Point, Bayfront Park, the City Pier district, and Gulf Drive North.
"CMK did our City Pier District kitchen from top to bottom. Custom cabinets, quartz island, new plumbing. Our project manager Davis kept us informed every day. Other contractors said the wall couldn't come out. CMK engineered it and pulled the City of Anna Maria permit in two weeks."
"We have a 1930s cottage near Bayfront Park and were worried no one would understand what we were trying to preserve. CMK got it immediately. New cabinets that look like they belong, quartz countertops, updated plumbing, and our kitchen still feels like it belongs to the house. Worth every penny."
"We're seasonal owners near Bean Point, so CMK managed the whole kitchen remodel while we were up north. Permits, beam, demo, finish work. They handled everything through the City of Anna Maria. The house feels twice as open now."
"After interviewing four contractors, CMK was the only one who walked us through a real showroom and let us touch everything before signing. The PM kept the whole project on schedule. Kitchen is gorgeous. Highly recommend."
"Our small condo kitchen needed a full gut. CMK pulled every City of Anna Maria permit, managed every inspection, and delivered on schedule. Clean work, honest pricing, no surprises."
Questions to Ask Your Anna Maria Island Kitchen Contractor
Most Anna Maria Island homeowners only remodel a kitchen once or twice in their lives, which makes vetting a contractor harder than it should be. These are the questions worth asking before signing any contract, with any company, not just CMK.
-
Are you licensed and insured in Florida?
Why it matters: Unlicensed contractors can void your homeowner's insurance and leave you personally liable for code violations.
Good answer: A state-issued CGC license number printed on every estimate, plus general liability and workers' comp on file. CMK is CGC 1516665 with Registered Electrical Contractor ER 13016498. -
Do you pull all permits, or do I?
Why it matters: Homeowner-pulled permits make you personally liable for code compliance, not the contractor.
Good answer: The contractor pulls every City of Anna Maria permit and schedules every inspection at no extra charge, start to finish. -
Who manages my project day-to-day?
Why it matters: Without a named project manager, you'll spend the build chasing updates from a salesperson who's already moved on to the next deal.
Good answer: A named PM, a real person you can call, who visits the job multiple times per week and communicates daily. -
What's your warranty, and what does it cover?
Why it matters: "We stand behind our work" is not a warranty. Get it in writing before you sign.
Good answer: A written, named warranty that covers both workmanship and materials for at least one year. CMK's Peace of Mind Warranty does both. -
Can I see your showroom and pick materials in person?
Why it matters: Catalog-only selections lead to surprises on install day. Tile and stone look completely different under real lighting.
Good answer: A real, walkable showroom where you handle cabinet doors, countertop slabs, tile samples, and fixtures before anything is ordered. The CMK Sarasota Design Studio on Clark Rd, the nearest showroom to Anna Maria Island, is open to active clients. -
What's your project timeline, and how do you handle delays?
Why it matters: "It'll take a few months" is not a schedule. Vague timelines almost always slip.
Good answer: A written project schedule with named milestones (demo, rough-in, cabinet install, countertop template, final inspection) and weekly progress updates.
