Downtown Sarasota is unlike anywhere else in the region. The high-rise condo towers along Gulfstream Avenue and the Bayfront. The historic cottages of Burns Court and Towles Court. The bungalows of Laurel Park. Every building has its own character, and every kitchen has its own challenges.
CMK Construction has been remodeling Sarasota kitchens for over two decades. We understand the tight footprints and shared systems of high-rise condos, the open-concept conversions downtown owners want most, the older framing in 1920s cottages, and the permit requirements of the City of Sarasota building department. We build the entertaining kitchens bayfront condos deserve: islands, name-brand appliances, and finishes chosen in person at our Sarasota Design Studio.
From professional cabinet installation to full gut remodels, CMK handles every part of your kitchen remodel.
Custom and semi-custom cabinets that finally run to the ceiling, plus oversized islands with the seating and storage builder kitchens never had.

We've completed kitchen remodels throughout Downtown Sarasota. Chances are, we've already worked in your building or on your block. Here's a look at the areas we serve most frequently.
Don't see your building or block? Call us. We serve all of Downtown Sarasota (34236, 34237) and surrounding areas.
Downtown Sarasota is unlike anywhere else in the region. The high-rise condos along Gulfstream Avenue and the Bayfront. The historic cottages of Burns Court and Towles Court. The bungalows of Laurel Park. Many were built decades ago, and most have the kitchen layouts to prove it.
Closed-off galley kitchens. Cramped peninsulas. Walls that block the bay view and made sense decades ago but don't now. Downtown homes and condos have real character, but the kitchens often don't match how people actually live today.
We specialize in open-concept conversions that respect the bones of your home or condo while giving you the kitchen you've always wanted. Walls opened with proper structural support and City of Sarasota permits. Aging drain and supply lines replaced. Original character preserved where it matters; modern function added everywhere else. And in the high-rise condos along Gulfstream Avenue and the Bayfront, we design entertaining kitchens with islands and custom finishes that finally match the caliber of the building.
Downtown Sarasota owners have choices. Here's why thousands of homeowners have chosen CMK, and why they refer us to their neighbors.

Real reviews from Downtown Sarasota kitchen remodel clients across Golden Gate Point, the Rosemary District, Burns Court, Gulfstream Avenue, Main Street, and the Bayfront.
"Our Golden Gate Point condo kitchen remodel with CMK was everything we hoped for. The galley layout had blocked the bay view for years, and CMK opened it completely into the living room. The design session at their Sarasota showroom made every choice easy, and our project manager coordinated every elevator delivery. The finished kitchen is stunning."
"CMK did our Rosemary District condo kitchen from top to bottom. Custom cabinets, quartz island, new plumbing. Our project manager Davis kept us informed every day. Our building manager signed off with no issues because CMK handled the City of Sarasota permits and all the paperwork."
"We have a 1920s cottage in Burns Court 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."
"CMK reworked the kitchen in our Gulfstream Avenue high-rise and turned a closed galley into an open, light-filled space. Permits, plumbing, cabinetry, finish work. They handled everything through the City of Sarasota and our condo association. The unit feels twice as big 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 Main Street condo project on schedule. Kitchen is gorgeous. Highly recommend."
"Our downtown condo kitchen needed a full gut. CMK pulled every City of Sarasota permit, managed every inspection, and delivered on schedule. Clean work, honest pricing, no surprises."
Most Downtown Sarasota owners 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.
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.
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, start to finish.
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.
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.
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 is open to active clients.
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.
