East Lake's Trusted Bathroom Contractor

Built for the Way East Lake Homes Actually Function

Most East Lake homes sit in deed-restricted golf and lakefront communities built from the 1980s through the 2000s, and their bathrooms carry the original finishes that came with them: cultured-marble vanity tops, fiberglass tub-and-shower combos no one uses, beige floor tile, and showers that have quietly aged behind the glass. The homes in Lansbrook and East Lake Woodlands, the golf-course homes in Boot Ranch and Cypress Run, and the older lakefront homes along Lake Tarpon all share the same story, a great floor plan waiting for a bathroom that finally matches the rest of the house.

CMK Construction has been transforming East Lake bathrooms for over two decades. We know how to upgrade a dated builder-grade bath into a high-end spa master suite, convert an unused fiberglass tub into an open walk-in shower, and design an accessible curbless shower for aging in place. We handle the neighborhood HOA approvals, the deed-restriction paperwork, and the Pinellas County permits so you never have to. From a single shower update to a full primary suite, we've done it all.

  • Specialists in updating dated 1990s and 2000s builder-grade East Lake bathrooms
  • Full design-build: one team from concept to completion
  • Dedicated project manager on every job, with daily updates
  • All Pinellas County permits and HOA approvals handled by CMK

Why CMK for East Lake Specifically

Built Right for Florida Humidity and East Lake Homes.

East Lake grew up around deed-restricted golf and lakefront communities, and its bathrooms were finished to match. The homes in Lansbrook and Boot Ranch, the golf-course builds in Cypress Run and East Lake Woodlands, and the older lakefront homes along Lake Tarpon all share the same builder-grade baths: fiberglass tub-and-shower combos no one uses, cultured-marble tops, and tile that has not aged well in Florida humidity. The homes are excellent. The bathrooms are simply due for an upgrade.

CMK plans for all of it before demo. In the newer builder homes, that often means converting an unused fiberglass tub into an open walk-in shower with floating vanities and large-format tile that makes the room feel bigger. In the larger homes, it usually means a full spa master suite: freestanding tub, oversized shower, double vanity, and high-end finishes throughout. And for homeowners planning to stay, we design accessible, curbless walk-in showers for aging in place that look like a spa, not a hospital.

Every bathroom CMK remodels gets Schluter waterproofing under every tile. It's a lifetime-warrantied membrane that many contractors skip, and it's the single biggest difference between a bathroom that lasts 30 years and one that starts leaking in 10, especially in Florida's relentless humidity.

  • Hundreds of completed bathrooms across East Lake's 34685 and 34688 neighborhoods
  • Schluter waterproofing on every tile installation, warranted for life
  • Licensed plumbers (CFC 1430533) on every project
  • Accessible design options (roll-in, grab bars, zero threshold)
  • Familiar with Pinellas County permitting and East Lake neighborhood HOA approvals

What East Lake Homeowners Say

East Lake Bathroom Remodel Reviews

Real reviews from East Lake bathroom remodel clients across Lansbrook, Tarpon Woods, Ridgemoor, Boot Ranch, Cypress Run, and East Lake Woodlands.

★★★★★

"We updated the master bath in our Lansbrook home and it is a completely different room. CMK handled the HOA approval paperwork, worked cleanly in a tight home, and passed every inspection the first time. The walk-in shower with frameless glass made the whole upstairs feel new."

Cheryl A.
East Lake · Lansbrook
★★★★★

"Tub-to-shower conversion in our Tarpon Woods home, finished in four weeks like they promised. Our project manager Nick explained the Schluter waterproofing before any tile went up, and the new shower looks like it came out of a magazine. The gated community access was no problem for their crew."

Don & Pat H.
East Lake · Tarpon Woods
★★★★★

"Our 1990s builder-grade bathroom in Ridgemoor felt dated and cramped. CMK reconfigured the layout with a floating vanity and a curbless shower with a linear drain, and the room feels twice as big. Smart design, clean work, high-end finishes throughout."

Maria G.
East Lake · Ridgemoor
★★★★★

"Spa master bath in our Boot Ranch home near East Lake Road. Freestanding tub, oversized walk-in shower, double vanity. The showroom made every selection easy, and the finished room is the best part of the house now."

Robert F.
East Lake · Boot Ranch
★★★★★

"Cypress Run master bath, full remodel. CMK upgraded our tired builder-grade bath with high-end tile, frameless glass, and a new floating vanity. The Schluter waterproofing gives us real peace of mind in Florida humidity, and there was not a single surprise on the invoice."

Janice K.
East Lake · Cypress Run
★★★★★

"We remodeled our East Lake Woodlands bathroom so we can stay in this house as we age. CMK built a curbless walk-in shower with a bench, anchored the grab bars into solid blocking, and it looks like a spa, not a hospital. Could not be happier."

Vet Your Contractor

What to Ask Before Hiring a Bathroom Remodeler in East Lake

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 East Lake 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. Florida's relentless humidity destroys budget 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 Pinellas County permit, handles neighborhood HOA paperwork where it applies, 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 4,000 sq ft CMK Design Studio on W. Hillsborough Ave is open to active clients.

Common Questions

East Lake Bathroom Remodeling FAQ

Answers to the questions East Lake homeowners ask us most often about timeline, permits, HOA approvals, 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 Florida's relentless humidity.
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 larger East Lake remodels can add time for HOA architectural review and material lead times. Your dedicated project manager provides a complete schedule before demo starts and communicates with you daily throughout the build.
Yes. East Lake is an unincorporated community in Pinellas County, so any bathroom remodel involving plumbing or electrical work is permitted through Pinellas County Building Services, and many East Lake communities also require approval from your neighborhood HOA. CMK Construction handles all county permitting, HOA and deed-restriction paperwork, and inspections on your behalf at no extra charge. You will never need to visit the permit office.
Yes. Most East Lake master-planned communities are deed-restricted and governed by their own HOAs, and gated neighborhoods like Crescent Oaks and Eagle Watch add their own rules. We prepare and submit the architectural and modification request paperwork, coordinate gate and contractor access, and protect shared walls and common areas throughout the build. You sign the forms; we handle the rest.
Yes. Tub-to-shower conversions are one of our most-requested projects in East Lake. We remove the existing tub, reframe the plumbing rough-in, install Schluter waterproofing, and build a walk-in shower (curbless or curbed) with frameless glass and floor-to-ceiling tile. Most conversions finish in 3 to 4 weeks.
Yes. After your project begins you will walk through the 4,000 sq ft CMK Design Studio at CMK's Tampa location, about 25 to 30 minutes from East Lake via Tampa Road and the Veterans Expressway, to see and touch every tile sample, vanity option, fixture, and finish before construction starts. Nothing is ordered until you approve it in person.
Yes. CMK partners with leading home-improvement lenders to offer financing for East Lake bathroom remodels. Your project consultant will walk through current options during your free in-home consultation. Subject to credit approval.
