"Our Lido Beach condo master bath remodel was the best home investment we've ever made. CMK demo'd the original bathroom, reworked the plumbing, installed a double vanity and a stunning walk-in shower. The whole project was on schedule and our PM kept us informed throughout."
Designed Around How Lido Key Owners Use Their Bathrooms
Lido Key bathrooms tell the story of the property. The dated tubs in Gulf-front condos along Ben Franklin Drive. The single-sink vanities in older South Lido homes. The tired step-in showers in units near St. Armands Circle. CMK has been transforming barrier-island bathrooms for over two decades.
We understand the plumbing quirks of coastal buildings, the material choices that stand up to salt air and high humidity, and the permit requirements of the City of Sarasota. From a simple tub-to-shower conversion to a full spa master suite with a freestanding tub and oversized walk-in shower, we've done it all, and we plan every condo project around HOA rules, elevator access, and protecting the units around you.

Lido Key Bathrooms Are Overdue for an Upgrade.
Many bathrooms on Lido Key were built for utility, not comfort. Single vanities. Step-in showers with fiberglass surrounds. Dated tubs that no one uses anymore. They worked decades ago. They don't work now, and salt air and humidity are hard on every one of them.
CMK specializes in turning dated Lido Key bathrooms into the spa-like spaces today's owners expect. For Gulf-front condos along Ben Franklin Drive, that often means reclaiming the tub space for a proper walk-in shower and updating plumbing that hasn't been touched in decades, all while working within the building's rules. For South Lido and North Lido homes, it means modernizing the whole space around the coastal exposure. For high-end units near St. Armands Circle and Lido Beach, it means full spa master suites, freestanding tubs, oversized showers, and double vanities, built with materials that stand up to coastal humidity and salt air.
Every bathroom CMK remodels gets Schluter waterproofing under every tile. It's a lifetime-warrantied membrane that most contractors skip, and it's the single biggest difference between a bathroom that lasts 30 years and one that starts leaking in 10, which matters even more in a coastal, salt-air climate.
- ✓ Hundreds of completed bathrooms across Lido Key and the barrier islands
- ✓ Schluter waterproofing on every tile installation, warranted for life
- ✓ Licensed plumbers on every project
- ✓ Accessible design options (roll-in, grab bars, zero threshold)
- ✓ Familiar with the City of Sarasota permitting and coastal review process

400+ Verified Reviews. 4.8 Stars.
Real reviews from Lido Key bathroom remodel clients across Lido Beach, Ben Franklin Drive, South Lido, St. Armands Circle, North Lido, and Lido Shores.
"We had a tub-to-shower conversion done by CMK in our South Lido home. They handled every permit through the City of Sarasota, the Schluter waterproofing was explained in detail, and the finished tile work is exceptional. Couldn't be happier."
"Our Ben Franklin Drive condo bathroom needed a full gut. CMK was the only contractor who could clearly explain the waterproofing process before we signed, and they worked cleanly around the building's rules. They delivered exactly what they promised, on time."
"CMK remodeled our master bath near St. Armands Circle with coastal materials in mind. They knew what tile and hardware would hold up to the salt air. Beautiful work. The frameless glass shower is the centerpiece of the room now."
"The walk-in shower CMK built for us is exactly what we envisioned. Custom tile, linear drain, frameless glass. The project manager visited the site multiple times a week and the project came in on budget."
"We were nervous about remodeling the bathroom in our Lido Shores home because of the coastal exposure. CMK chose materials that hold up to salt air and modernized the whole space. The old tub came out, a beautiful walk-in shower went in, and the room finally matches the rest of the house."
What to Ask Before Hiring a Bathroom Remodeler on Lido Key
Bathrooms are the single most common place a remodel goes wrong years after it finishes, almost always because of how the shower was waterproofed, and salt air only speeds up the failures. These are the questions worth asking any Lido Key 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. Lido Key's coastal humidity and salt air destroy inferior 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 Sarasota permit 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.
