"Our 1930s cottage in the Village of the Arts had a tiny closed-off kitchen we lived with for years. CMK opened it to the dining room, built custom cabinets that fit the period of the house, and handled the City of Bradenton permits and historic-district details. Our project manager Aimee was here multiple times a week. It finally feels like the heart of the house."
Built for the Way Bradenton Families Live
Bradenton's housing runs from one end of the spectrum to the other. The restored 1920s and 1930s cottages of the Village of the Arts. The 1930s stone homes and waterfront estates along Riverview Boulevard and the River District. Mid-century block ranches through West Bradenton and Palma Sola. Master-planned homes in Tara and University Park. Almost all of them were built before anyone cooked and entertained the way we do now.
CMK Construction has been remodeling kitchens across the Bradenton area for over two decades. We know the plaster walls and original wiring in the historic cottages, the slab plumbing in mid-century block homes, the coastal-material considerations for Palma Sola and waterfront properties, and the permit process at the City of Bradenton and Manatee County. Open-concept conversions and full custom entertaining kitchens are the projects we're asked for most, and we've done hundreds of them.

Why Bradenton Homeowners Need a Specialist, Not a Generalist.
A kitchen in a 1930s Village of the Arts cottage is a completely different job than a kitchen in a waterfront home off Riverview Boulevard or a master-planned house in Tara. The cottages hide plaster walls, original wiring, and historic-district guidelines. The mid-century block homes of West Bradenton and Palma Sola run their plumbing through the slab. The waterfront and master-planned homes simply have kitchens that no longer match the rest of the house.
Each one fails differently, and each one is opened differently. Cottage kitchens get careful rewiring and replumbing with the original character preserved. Block-home kitchens get an engineered beam and an open-concept conversion. Waterfront and Tara homes get custom cabinetry, an oversized quartz island, and the entertaining layout the home always deserved.
We've solved every one of these, hundreds of times, across the region. Load-bearing walls removed with structural engineering and permits. Slab plumbing rerouted. Coastal-grade finishes for homes near Palma Sola Bay. Every City of Bradenton or Manatee County permit and inspection is ours from application to final.

Real reviews from Bradenton kitchen remodel clients across the Village of the Arts, River District, Palma Sola, West Bradenton, Tara, and downtown.
"Waterfront home off Riverview Boulevard, full custom kitchen. CMK designed a layout around the Manatee River views, an oversized quartz island, and panel-ready appliances. The showroom visit on Clark Rd made every selection easy. On schedule and the craftsmanship is outstanding."
"Our Palma Sola home had the original 1970s kitchen. CMK removed the wall to the living room, rerouted the plumbing, and gave us an island we actually use. They knew exactly what they would find behind these block walls before demo started. Davis kept us posted every day."
"We replaced the builder-grade kitchen in our Tara home with custom cabinets, a quartz waterfall island, and new lighting. Picking everything in person at the Sarasota showroom made the decisions easy. On budget, on schedule, and the install crew was meticulous."
"West Bradenton mid-century ranch. Two other contractors said the wall to the Florida room could not come out. CMK brought an engineer, sized the beam, and pulled the Manatee County permit without us lifting a finger. The whole back of the house is one open space now."
"Downtown Bradenton condo near the Riverwalk, full kitchen gut. CMK handled the building's approvals, worked inside the allowed hours, and kept the common areas spotless. New cabinets, quartz counters, and a layout that finally works. Could not be happier."
Questions to Ask Your Bradenton Kitchen Contractor
A kitchen remodel is one of the biggest checks most Bradenton homeowners will ever write to a contractor, and most people only do it once or twice. 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 Bradenton or Manatee County permit, handles any historic-district review, and schedules every inspection at no extra charge. -
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. Cabinet finishes 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 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.
