Downtown Sarasota's Trusted Bathroom Contractor

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.

Why CMK for Downtown Sarasota Specifically

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

Real reviews from Downtown Sarasota bathroom remodel clients across Golden Gate Point, the Rosemary District, Main Street, Gulfstream Avenue, the Bayfront, and Burns Court.

★★★★★

"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."

Patricia G.
Downtown Sarasota · Golden Gate Point
★★★★★

"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."

Jason L.
Downtown Sarasota · Rosemary District
★★★★★

"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."

Susan K.
Downtown Sarasota · Main Street
★★★★★

"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."

Brian M.
Downtown Sarasota · Gulfstream Avenue
★★★★★

"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."

Karen R.
Downtown Sarasota · The Bayfront
★★★★★

"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.

Common Questions

Common Questions About Downtown Sarasota Bathroom Remodels

Answers to the questions Downtown Sarasota owners ask us most often about timeline, permits, financing, waterproofing, and what's included.

Every CMK bathroom is built with the Schluter-KERDI waterproofing system installed under all tile. Schluter carries a lifetime manufacturer warranty when installed by certified contractors, which we are. No paint-on membranes, no skipped steps. It is the single biggest difference between a bathroom that lasts 30 years and one that starts leaking in 10, especially in Downtown Sarasota's bayfront humidity and salt air.
Cosmetic bathroom updates typically take 2-3 weeks. A standard mid-range remodel with new tile and a walk-in shower conversion runs 3-6 weeks. Full master bath remodels with new plumbing and a complete gut take 6-10 weeks, and high-rise condos can add time for elevator scheduling and building approvals. Your dedicated project manager provides a complete schedule before demo starts and communicates with you daily throughout the build, so you always know what's happening next.
Yes. Any bathroom remodel involving plumbing or electrical work in Downtown Sarasota requires a permit from the City of Sarasota building department, since downtown is inside the city limits, and high-rise condo projects usually need the association's approval too. CMK Construction handles all permitting and inspections on your behalf at no extra charge. You will never need to visit the permit office. We own the entire process from application to final inspection.
A CMK full-service bathroom remodel includes walk-in shower design and installation, tub-to-shower conversions, master bath remodels, custom tile with Schluter waterproofing, vanity and fixture upgrades, accessibility modifications (grab bars, roll-in showers, comfort-height toilets, zero-threshold entries), flooring installation, full City of Sarasota permit management, and a dedicated project manager from demo to final walkthrough. Every project is covered by our one-year Peace of Mind Warranty on all workmanship and materials we install.
Yes. CMK is a true design-build remodeler: one company, one accountable team. Our accredited designers create your plans and 3D renderings, you select every material at the CMK Sarasota Design Studio on Clark Rd, and our licensed plumbers, electricians under Registered Electrical Contractor ER 13016498, and carpenters build the bathroom. One team, one point of contact, from design through final walkthrough.
Yes. After your project begins you will walk through the CMK Sarasota Design Studio on Clark Rd to see and touch every tile sample, vanity option, fixture, and finish before construction starts. Nothing is ordered until you approve it in person. The showroom experience is one of the most-praised parts of working with CMK.
Yes. CMK partners with leading home-improvement lenders to offer financing for Downtown Sarasota bathroom remodels. Your project consultant will walk through current options during your free in-home consultation. Subject to credit approval.
