Life in Osprey happens around the water and the golf course, and the kitchen is where everyone lands afterward. The trouble is that most Osprey kitchens were never built for that. Deed-restricted homes from the 1980s through the 2000s across Southbay, Rivendell, and Willowbend, along with gated golf estates in The Oaks and bayfront boating homes on Little Sarasota Bay, all came from an era when the kitchen was closed off from the rest of the house.
CMK Construction has been remodeling Osprey kitchens for over two decades. We know the slab plumbing inside older homes, the HOA architectural review that The Oaks and other gated communities require, the finishes and hardware that hold up to Florida humidity near the bay, and the permit process through Sarasota County Building & Permitting. Open-concept conversions are the project we're asked for most, and we've done hundreds of them.
From professional cabinet installation to full gut remodels, CMK handles every part of your kitchen remodel.
Custom and semi-custom cabinets that finally run to the ceiling, plus oversized islands with the seating and storage builder kitchens never had.

A kitchen in a gated golf estate in The Oaks or a bayfront boating home on Little Sarasota Bay is a completely different job than a kitchen in a 1980s Southbay home or a condo at Meridian in The Oaks Preserve. The golf estates bring HOA architectural review and higher finish expectations. The bayfront homes bring older waterfront construction and humidity. The condos bring association approvals and tight layouts. Deed-restricted homes across Rivendell and Willowbend often need slab plumbing reroutes and updated wiring. Newer 1990s and 2000s builds each have their own quirks.
The layouts share one problem: they close the kitchen off from the rest of the home. Bayfront kitchens sealed behind a wall from the water view. Estate kitchens cut off from the great room. Original kitchens with builder-grade cabinets, dated finishes, and no island. None of them match how people in Osprey actually live, which is casually, with the light in, and usually with company.
We've solved every one of these, hundreds of times. Load-bearing walls removed with engineered beams and Sarasota County permits. HOA architectural-review and condo association paperwork managed without you lifting a finger. Finishes and hardware chosen to hold up near the bay. That's what two decades of Sarasota County kitchens teaches you.
Osprey homeowners have choices. Here's why thousands of Tampa Bay and Sarasota County families have chosen CMK, and why they refer us to their neighbors.

Real reviews from Osprey kitchen remodel clients across The Oaks, Southbay, Rivendell, Willowbend, and the Little Sarasota Bay waterfront.
"Full remodel of the kitchen in our golf-estate home in The Oaks Clubside. CMK opened the wall to the great room, built a large quartz island, and handled the HOA architectural review. Their project manager kept us posted every day and the crew left the site spotless. Worth every week of the wait."
"Our Rivendell home backs up to Little Sarasota Bay and had the original closed-off kitchen. CMK removed the wall to the living room with an engineered beam, rerouted the plumbing, and our project manager Barry walked us through every step. The house finally feels like one open space with the water view we always wanted."
"We replaced the original kitchen in our 1980s Southbay home with custom cabinets, a quartz island, and new lighting. Picking everything at the showroom in person made the decisions easy. On schedule, on target, and the install crew was meticulous."
"Our Willowbend home had a kitchen that had never been touched. CMK designed cabinetry that fits the home perfectly, updated the wiring and plumbing behind the walls, and treated the place with real respect. The result looks like it belongs there."
"Condo at Meridian in The Oaks Preserve, complete kitchen remodel. CMK handled the association approval paperwork and steered us toward finishes that fit the building perfectly. The quartz island and new layout completely changed how we entertain."
"We're in The Oaks Bayside and wanted a kitchen that's easier to move around in. CMK lowered a section of counter, widened the walkways, and added better lighting throughout. Daily updates from the project manager, a clean job site every evening, and the schedule they promised is the schedule they kept."
Estimates are where good and bad contractors look the most alike. These are the questions that separate them, worth asking any Osprey company before signing a contract, not just CMK.
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 printed on every estimate, plus general liability and workers' comp on file. CMK is CGC 1516665 with Registered Electrical Contractor ER 13016498.
Why it matters: Homeowner-pulled permits make you personally liable for code compliance, not the contractor.
Good answer: The contractor pulls every Sarasota County permit, handles HOA architectural-review 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 to the next deal.
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 before you sign.
Good answer: A written, named warranty that covers both workmanship and materials for at least one year. CMK's Peace of Mind Warranty does both.
Why it matters: Catalog-only selections lead to surprises on install day. Tile and stone look completely different under real lighting.
Good answer: A real, walkable showroom where you handle cabinet doors, countertop slabs, tile samples, and fixtures before anything is ordered. The 4,000 sq ft CMK Design Studio on Clark Road in Sarasota is open to active clients.
Why it matters: "It'll take a few months" is not a schedule. Vague timelines almost always slip.
Good answer: A written project schedule with named milestones (demo, rough-in, cabinet install, countertop template, final inspection) and weekly progress updates.
