"Our Golden Gate Point condo master bath remodel was the best home investment we've ever made. CMK demo'd the original dated bathroom, moved the plumbing, installed a double vanity and a stunning walk-in shower. The whole project was on schedule and our PM kept us informed throughout."
Designed Around How Downtown Sarasota Homeowners Use Their Bathrooms
Downtown Sarasota bathrooms tell the story of the building. The dated tubs in aging condo towers. The single-sink vanities in Laurel Park bungalows. The step-in showers in older bayfront units. CMK has been transforming Sarasota bathrooms for over two decades.
We understand the plumbing quirks of older downtown homes, the coastal material considerations for bayfront high-rise condos, and the permit requirements of the City of Sarasota. From a simple tub-to-shower conversion to a full spa master suite with a freestanding tub and oversized walk-in shower, we've done it all.

Downtown Sarasota Bathrooms Are Overdue for an Upgrade.
The bathrooms in Downtown Sarasota's older buildings were built for utility, not comfort. Single vanities. Step-in showers with fiberglass surrounds. Dated tubs that no one uses anymore. They worked decades ago. They don't work now.
CMK specializes in turning dated Downtown Sarasota bathrooms into the spa-like spaces today's owners expect. For aging condos on Golden Gate Point and Gulfstream Avenue, that often means reclaiming the tub space for a proper walk-in shower and updating plumbing that hasn't been touched in decades. For the historic cottages of Burns Court and the bungalows of Laurel Park, it means working carefully around original framing and maintaining the character of the home. For bayfront high-rise units along the Bayfront, it means full spa master suites, freestanding tubs, oversized showers, and double vanities, built with materials that stand up to coastal humidity and salt air.
Every bathroom CMK remodels gets Schluter waterproofing under every tile. It's a lifetime-warrantied membrane that most Downtown Sarasota contractors skip, and it's the single biggest difference between a bathroom that lasts 30 years and one that starts leaking in 10.
- ✓ Hundreds of completed bathrooms in 34236, 34237, and across Sarasota
- ✓ Schluter waterproofing on every tile installation, warranted for life
- ✓ Licensed plumbers on every project
- ✓ Accessible design options (roll-in, grab bars, zero threshold)
- ✓ Familiar with the City of Sarasota building department process

400+ Verified Reviews. 4.8 Stars.
Real reviews from Downtown Sarasota bathroom remodel clients across Golden Gate Point, the Rosemary District, Main Street, Gulfstream Avenue, the Bayfront, and Burns Court.
"We had a tub-to-shower conversion done by CMK in our Rosemary District condo. They handled every City of Sarasota permit, the Schluter waterproofing was explained in detail, and the finished tile work is exceptional. Couldn't be happier."
"Our Main Street condo bathroom needed a full gut. CMK was the only contractor who could clearly explain the waterproofing process before we signed. They coordinated with our building manager and delivered exactly what they promised, on time."
"CMK remodeled our Gulfstream Avenue high-rise bath with coastal materials in mind. They knew what tile and hardware would hold up to the salt air off the bay. Beautiful work. The frameless glass shower is the centerpiece of the room now."
"The walk-in shower CMK built for us is exactly what we envisioned. Custom tile, linear drain, frameless glass. The project manager visited the site multiple times a week and the project came in on budget."
"We were nervous about remodeling the bathroom in our 1920s Burns Court cottage because of how much original character it has. CMK preserved everything worth preserving and modernized everything else. The old tub came out, a beautiful walk-in shower went in, and the room still feels like it belongs to the house."
What to Ask Before Hiring a Bathroom Remodeler in Downtown Sarasota
Bathrooms are the single most common place a remodel goes wrong years after it finishes, almost always because of how the shower was waterproofed. These are the questions worth asking any Downtown Sarasota contractor before signing a contract, with any company, not just CMK.
-
What waterproofing system do you use behind the tile?
Why it matters: This is the single biggest difference between a 5-year bathroom and a 30-year bathroom. Downtown Sarasota's bayfront humidity destroys inferior waterproofing.
Good answer: A name-brand sheet membrane system (Schluter-KERDI, Wedi, or equivalent) installed under every tile, with the manufacturer's lifetime warranty in writing. -
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 on every estimate, plus a CFC plumbing license on file. CMK is CGC 1516665 with plumbing under CFC 1430533. -
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 Sarasota permit 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.
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, especially on waterproofing.
Good answer: A written warranty on workmanship and materials, plus a separate manufacturer warranty on the waterproofing membrane. CMK's Peace of Mind Warranty covers both. -
Can I see your showroom and pick tile, vanities, and fixtures in person?
Why it matters: Tile and stone look completely different in catalog photos than they do in real samples under real lighting.
Good answer: A real showroom where you handle tile samples, vanity finishes, fixtures, and shower glass before anything is ordered. The CMK Sarasota Design Studio on Clark Rd is open to active clients.
