We Know Lido Key Homes Better Than Anyone
Lido Key is a Gulf-front barrier island inside the City of Sarasota, and it remodels unlike anywhere else in the county. Most of the island is condo living, from the mid-rise buildings along Ben Franklin Drive to residences like L'Elegance, Lido Regency, Orchid Beach Club, and Lido Surf & Sand, where every remodel runs through an HOA architectural review and a building-specific set of rules for elevators, work hours, and floor protection. The rest of Lido Key is single-family coastal homes in South Lido and North Lido, many steps from Lido Beach or a short walk to the shops and restaurants of St. Armands Circle. Salt air, high humidity, and a coastal flood zone shape every decision, from the finishes that hold up to the way wet areas are waterproofed.
CMK has completed hundreds of remodels across the Sarasota barrier islands, including Gulf-front condo kitchens opened up for entertaining, coastal master baths built with salt-tolerant materials, and full interior remodels in single-family South Lido homes. We know how to stage a high-rise remodel through a single service elevator, how to protect common areas and neighboring units, and how to move a project through the City of Sarasota building department and any coastal review it triggers. When something unexpected shows up behind a wall, we have already seen it.
There is a difference between a contractor who occasionally crosses the bridge and one who works the barrier islands regularly. CMK has crews on Lido Key and around St. Armands often, and we plan every island project around condo access, parking, and building rules from day one.

Reviews
Reviews from Lido Key Clients
★★★★★
"CMK remodeled the kitchen in our Ben Franklin Drive condo and understood the building rules from the first call. They coordinated the service elevator, protected the hallways, and kept the noise inside the approved hours. The design session at their Sarasota showroom made every choice easy, and our project manager was on-site throughout. The finished kitchen is stunning."

"We had a tub-to-shower conversion done by CMK in our South Lido home. They knew which tile and hardware would hold up to the salt air, handled every permit through the City of Sarasota, and the Schluter waterproofing was explained in detail. The finished tile work is exceptional. Couldn't be happier."

"Our high-rise unit near St. Armands Circle needed a full gut. CMK pulled every City of Sarasota permit, worked through the HOA review, and managed every inspection on schedule. Clean work, honest pricing, and they left the common areas spotless. We would hire them again."

Common Questions
Lido Key Remodeling FAQ
Answers to what Lido Key condo owners and homeowners ask most before starting a kitchen or bathroom remodel: permits, service coverage, timeline, and how CMK works.
Yes. Most kitchen and bathroom remodels on Lido Key require permits through the City of Sarasota building department. That covers structural changes, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC, and coastal properties may also involve flood-zone and wind-load review. CMK pulls every permit under our own license numbers so you never have to deal with the permit office. Work done without permits can create problems at resale and may void your homeowner's insurance. Schedule a consultation and we will walk through what your project requires.
Yes. CMK serves all of Lido Key (34236), including Lido Beach, St. Armands Circle, Ben Franklin Drive, South Lido, North Lido, and Lido Shores, along with nearby Bird Key, Golden Gate Point, Longboat Key, and Downtown Sarasota. Whether you own a Gulf-front condo or a single-family coastal home, we likely serve your building or street. Don't see yours listed? Call us.
CMK has been in business since 2004, over 20 years of kitchen and bathroom remodeling in the Tampa Bay and Southwest Florida region. We have completed hundreds of projects across the Sarasota barrier islands, including Gulf-front condo remodels along Ben Franklin Drive, coastal home updates in South Lido, and full interior remodels near St. Armands Circle. We have been voted Tampa Bay Times Best of the Best six consecutive years, 2020 through 2025.
Yes. CMK coordinates both scopes under a single contract with one project manager handling design, permits, scheduling, and inspections from start to finish. There is no juggling between separate contractors and no competing schedules. Many Lido Key homeowners combine a kitchen and bathroom remodel under one contract. Permits are pulled together and the disruption is consolidated into one project timeline instead of two.
Yes. CMK's 4,000 sq ft Sarasota Design Studio is at 3483 Clark Rd, Sarasota, FL 34231, a short drive from Lido Key across the Ringling Bridge. Once your project is underway, this is where you make your selections: you sit down with your CMK designer and choose every cabinet, countertop, tile, and fixture in person, with the real samples in hand, and those choices carry straight into your build.
