"Our Summerfield master had the corner garden tub we hadn't used in a decade. CMK took it out, built an oversized walk-in shower with frameless glass, and walked us through the Schluter waterproofing before a single tile went up. The HOA approval and Manatee County permit were handled for us."
Why Remodeling Bathrooms in Lakewood Ranch Is Different
The master bathroom is the room a Lakewood Ranch homeowner uses twice a day, every day, and in most villages it still looks exactly the way the builder left it. Summerfield, Greenbrook, and Riverwalk masters from the late 1990s and 2000s came with a corner garden tub, a framed-glass shower, and a cultured-marble double vanity. Even newer Esplanade and Lorraine Lakes homes ship with spec-level finishes.
CMK Construction has been transforming bathrooms across the Ranch for over two decades. We know the slab plumbing under these homes, the gate and HOA approval process, the CDD paperwork, and the permits at Manatee County Building & Development Services (Sarasota County for Waterside). From a garden-tub-to-shower conversion to a full spa master suite, or an aging-in-place villa bath in Del Webb, we've done it all.

Built for Lakewood Ranch Homes, Not Generic Bath Remodels.
The bathrooms in Lakewood Ranch weren't built badly, they were built identically. A corner garden tub under a window, a framed shower wedged beside it, cultured marble on the vanity. Walk ten masters in Summerfield or Greenbrook and you'll see the same room ten times.
CMK plans each remodel around the home and the owner. In the 1990s and 2000s villages, that usually means taking the garden tub out and rebuilding the space around an oversized walk-in shower, a freestanding tub where it fits, and a real double vanity. In Del Webb and Esplanade villas, it means curbless showers and comfort-height fixtures that keep the bath as easy in ten years as it is today. In Country Club East estates, it means a spa master that finally matches the house: full-height tile, heated floors, and glass without frames.
Every bathroom CMK remodels gets Schluter waterproofing under every tile. It's a lifetime-warrantied membrane that most Lakewood Ranch contractors skip, and it's the single biggest difference between a bathroom that lasts 30 years and one that starts leaking in 10.

- ✓ Schluter waterproofing on every tile installation, warranted for life
- ✓ Licensed plumbers on every project

Real reviews from Lakewood Ranch bathroom remodel clients across Summerfield, Del Webb, Country Club East, Greenbrook, Esplanade, and Waterside.
"We remodeled our Del Webb villa bath so we can stay in it for the long run. CMK built a curbless shower with a bench, anchored the grab bars into solid blocking, and installed a comfort-height vanity. It's safe without looking medical."
"Full spa master in our Country Club East home. Freestanding tub, heated tile floor, double vanity, and a shower with body sprays we picked at the Sarasota showroom. Our project manager Barry sent updates daily and the schedule they gave us before demo is the schedule they hit."
"CMK redid the kids' bathroom in our Greenbrook home: new tile surround, a double vanity that survives school mornings, and real storage. Three weeks start to finish, clean job site every evening."
"Our Esplanade master was builder spec from day one. CMK rebuilt it with floor-to-ceiling tile, frameless glass, and a quartz-top vanity, and they handled the HOA paperwork. It finally looks like it belongs in this house."
"We're in Waterside, so our permit ran through Sarasota County, and CMK handled it without us touching a thing. The builder bathroom is now custom, and the 3D renderings matched the finished room exactly."
What to Ask Before Hiring a Bathroom Remodeler in Lakewood Ranch
Behind the tile is where a bathroom remodel succeeds or fails, and you can't inspect it after the fact. Ask any Lakewood Ranch contractor these questions before you sign, 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 humidity destroys low-grade 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 Manatee or Sarasota County permit, handles the HOA and CDD paperwork your village requires, 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.
