"We updated the primary bath in our Key Royale 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 house feel new."
Built for the Way Holmes Beach Homes Actually Function
Many Holmes Beach homes are Old-Florida beach cottages and canal-front and Gulf-front homes, and their bathrooms still carry the original finishes: cultured-marble vanity tops, fiberglass tub-and-shower combos no one uses, dated floor tile, and showers that have quietly aged behind the glass. The cottages just off Gulf Drive and Marina Drive, the upscale canal-and-golf homes on Key Royale, the West Bay Cove and Sunbow Bay condos, and the Gulf-front and canal-front homes near Bimini Bay and the Intracoastal Waterway 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 Holmes Beach bathrooms for over two decades. We know how to upgrade a dated original bath into a high-end spa primary suite, convert an unused fiberglass tub into an open walk-in shower, design an accessible curbless shower for aging in place, and turn vacation-rental baths around on a tight schedule. We handle the neighborhood HOA approvals, the deed-restriction paperwork, and the City of Holmes Beach and Manatee County permits so you never have to. From a single shower update to a full primary suite, we've done it all.

Built Right for Florida Humidity and Holmes Beach Homes.
Holmes Beach grew up as an Old-Florida beach town on Anna Maria Island, and its bathrooms were finished to match. The cottages off Gulf Drive and Marina Drive, the upscale canal-and-golf homes on Key Royale, the West Bay Cove and Sunbow Bay condos, and the Gulf-front and canal-front homes near Bimini Bay and the Intracoastal Waterway all share the same dated baths: fiberglass tub-and-shower combos no one uses, cultured-marble tops, and tile that has not aged well in Florida humidity and salt air. The homes are excellent. The bathrooms are simply due for an upgrade.
CMK plans for all of it before demo. In the beach cottages and vacation-rental units, 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 Gulf-front and Key Royale homes, it usually means a full spa primary 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 Holmes Beach and Anna Maria Island's 34217 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 City of Holmes Beach and Manatee County permitting and Holmes Beach neighborhood HOA approvals

Holmes Beach Bathroom Remodel Reviews
Real reviews from Holmes Beach bathroom remodel clients across Key Royale, West Bay Cove, Sunbow Bay, Bimini Bay, Longboat Key, and Anna Maria.
"Tub-to-shower conversion in our West Bay Cove 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 tight island access was no problem for their crew."
"Our dated original bathroom in Sunbow Bay felt cramped and tired. 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."
"Spa primary bath in our Bimini Bay home. 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."
"Longboat Key primary bath, full remodel. CMK upgraded our tired, dated 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."
"We remodeled our Anna Maria 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."
What to Ask Before Hiring a Bathroom Remodeler in Holmes Beach
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 Holmes Beach 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 City of Holmes Beach and Manatee 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 Clark Rd in Sarasota is open to active clients.
