Most Lake Magdalene homes are established single-family houses built from the 1970s through the 1990s, set under mature oaks around Lake Magdalene and its chain of lakes, and their primary baths 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 Carrollwood and Carrollwood Village, the lakefront houses in Lake Heather Estates and along the chain of lakes, and the inland ranch homes in Chelsea Woods and Sugarwood Grove 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 Lake Magdalene bathrooms for over two decades. We know how to upgrade a dated original 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 Hillsborough County permits so you never have to. From a single shower update to a full primary suite with lake views, we've done it all.
From a single shower update to a full primary suite, CMK handles every part of your bathroom remodel.

Lake Magdalene grew up as an established lakefront community north of Carrollwood, and its bathrooms were finished to match the era they were built in. The homes in Carrollwood and Carrollwood Village, the lakefront houses in Lake Heather Estates and along the Lake Magdalene chain of lakes, and the inland ranch homes in Chelsea Woods and Sugarwood Grove 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. The homes are excellent. The bathrooms are simply due for an upgrade.
CMK plans for all of it before demo. In the more compact 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 lakefront homes, it usually means a full spa master suite: freestanding tub, oversized shower, double vanity, and high-end finishes throughout, often designed around the lake view. And for the long-time Lake Magdalene owners 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.
Lake Magdalene homeowners have choices. Here's why thousands of Tampa Bay families have chosen CMK, and why they refer us to their neighbors.
Lifetime-warranted waterproofing membrane installed under every tile we lay. No paint-on membranes, no skipped steps. Built to last 30+ years in Florida's humidity and salt air.

Real reviews from Lake Magdalene bathroom remodel clients across Carrollwood, Lake Heather Estates, Chelsea Woods, Carrollwood Village, Emerald Forest, and Sugarwood Grove.
"We updated the master bath in our Carrollwood 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."
"Tub-to-shower conversion in our Lake Heather Estates 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."
"Our 1990s builder-grade bathroom in Chelsea Woods 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."
"Spa master bath in our Carrollwood Village home near Dale Mabry Highway. 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."
"Emerald Forest 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."
"We remodeled our Sugarwood Grove 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."
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 Lake Magdalene contractor before signing a contract, with any company, not just CMK.
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.
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.
Why it matters: Homeowner-pulled permits make you personally liable for code compliance, not the contractor.
Good answer: The contractor pulls every Hillsborough County permit, handles neighborhood HOA paperwork where it applies, and schedules every inspection at no extra charge.
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.
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.
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.
