We Know Longboat Key Homes Better Than Anyone
Longboat Key is a Gulf barrier-island town that spans the Sarasota–Manatee county line, and its homes are as varied as its shoreline. Gulf-front condominiums and estate homes along Gulf of Mexico Drive, the island's main road. Canal-front and golf-community homes in Bay Isles and Country Club Shores, tucked between Sarasota Bay and the Longboat Key Club. Waterfront estates in Emerald Harbor, Sleepy Lagoon, and Buttonwood Harbour, the historic north-end cottages of Longbeach Village, and vacation-rental properties across the island. Many of these homes still have their original dated kitchens and baths, and after decades of salt-air, Gulf-Coast living they are ready for a true upgrade. A contractor who treats a Longbeach Village cottage the same as a Bay Isles canal home will miss something. We don't.
CMK has remodeled hundreds of homes across Longboat Key and the Sarasota–Manatee coast. We've opened up closed floor plans along Gulf of Mexico Drive, replaced original cabinets and laminate with custom cabinetry and quartz, updated dated kitchens and baths in Emerald Harbor and Country Club Shores, and built custom kitchens and baths in canal-front and Gulf-front homes in Bay Isles and near the Longboat Key Club. Slab plumbing reroutes, load-bearing wall removal, hurricane- and impact-rated window upgrades, FEMA flood-zone and salt-air-resistant finish choices, elevated coastal construction, and HOA approvals across the island's many community associations. We've seen it, solved it, and done it on a street near yours.
That's the difference between a generic Gulf Coast contractor and a Longboat Key specialist. Our Sarasota Design Studio is a short drive south via St. Armands Circle and the Ringling Causeway, so our crews are here all the time.

Reviews from Longboat Key Clients
"Our Longbeach Village cottage off Gulf of Mexico Drive finally opened up. CMK took down the wall to the living room, added a large quartz island, and handled the permit through the Town of Longboat Key. We still finished on schedule. It looks like a brand-new home now, not the original 1960s plan."
"Spa master bath in our Bay Isles canal home. Freestanding tub, frameless walk-in shower, Schluter waterproofing throughout. CMK pulled the Town of Longboat Key permits and finished in seven weeks."
"Full kitchen and master bath in our Country Club Shores home, both under one CMK contract. Same PM, same crew, same designer. Even the permits went through together."

Longboat Key Remodeling FAQ
Answers to what Longboat Key homeowners ask most before starting a kitchen or bathroom remodel: Town of Longboat Key permits, service coverage, history, multi-scope projects, and our showroom.
Yes. Longboat Key is an incorporated Gulf barrier-island town spanning the Sarasota–Manatee county line, so kitchen and bathroom remodels are permitted through the Town of Longboat Key building department, and Sarasota–Manatee county reviews may apply for flood-zone and coastal-construction work. Structural changes, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC all trigger permitting requirements, and any work that affects the exterior may also need approval from your community or HOA. CMK pulls every Town of Longboat Key permit under our own license numbers (General Contractor CGC 1516665, Plumbing CFC 1430533, and Electrical ER 13016498), so you never need to visit the permit office. Work done without permits can cause 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 every neighborhood on Longboat Key (34228), including the Longboat Key Club, Bay Isles, Country Club Shores, Emerald Harbor, and the Gulf-front and canal-front homes along Gulf of Mexico Drive, plus nearby St. Armands, Lido Key, Bird Key, and Sarasota. Don't see yours listed? Call us. We likely serve it.
CMK Construction has been in business since 2004, more than 20 years of kitchen and bathroom remodeling across the Gulf Coast. We have completed hundreds of remodels across Longboat Key and the Sarasota–Manatee coast, including Gulf-front condominiums near the Longboat Key Club, canal-front and golf homes in Bay Isles and Country Club Shores, elevated piling homes along Gulf of Mexico Drive, and vacation-rental properties throughout Emerald Harbor and Longbeach Village. We have been voted Best of the Best six consecutive years, 2020 through 2025.
Yes. CMK handles both scopes under one contract with a single dedicated project manager overseeing design, permits, scheduling, and inspections from start to finish. There is no handoff between teams and no competing contractors. Many Longboat Key homeowners combine a kitchen and bathroom remodel at the same time. It is often more efficient since permits are pulled together and the disruption happens in one stretch rather than two, which matters even more for vacation-rental homeowners who want the property back in service quickly.
Yes. CMK's Sarasota Design Studio is at 3483 Clark Rd, Sarasota, FL 34231, about 25 to 35 minutes from Longboat Key south via St. Armands Circle, the Ringling Causeway, and U.S. 41, the closest CMK showroom to Longboat Key. The 4,000 sq ft showroom has real cabinet samples, countertops, tile, and hardware you can see and touch as part of your build. Once your project is underway, a CMK designer will walk through selections with you in person. Learn more about our Sarasota showroom.
