We Know Palmetto Homes Better Than Anyone
Palmetto is a waterfront city on the north bank of the Manatee River, directly across from Bradenton, and its homes reflect that range. Riviera Dunes wraps a protected deep-water marina with waterfront single-family homes, townhomes, and condo buildings like Bel Mare, Laguna, and The Palms. Snead Island sits at the mouth of the river near Emerson Point, an old-Florida waterfront enclave. Downtown Palmetto holds established homes from earlier decades, while Trevesta, Sanctuary Cove, and Esplanade at Artisan Lakes bring newer master-planned construction from the 1980s through today. Every property brings different structure, wiring, plumbing, waterfront humidity, and flood and permit rules. A contractor who treats them all the same will miss something. We don't.
CMK has remodeled hundreds of homes across Palmetto and Manatee County. We've designed kitchens and baths for waterfront homes along the Manatee River and Terra Ceia Bay, remodeled condos at Riviera Dunes, and built practical, low-maintenance remodels for longtime Palmetto homeowners in Northwood Park and Palmetto Point. Cast-iron drain lines, slab plumbing reroutes, hurricane wind-load and impact-rated windows and doors, waterfront flood-zone rules, and HOA approvals. 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 Palmetto specialist. Our crews are in Manatee County every week.

Reviews
Reviews from Palmetto Clients
★★★★★
"Waterfront condo kitchen at Riviera Dunes. CMK opened the wall to the living room, added a big quartz island, and handled the building approval paperwork. We still finished on schedule. The new layout is unrecognizable from the original build."

Common Questions
Palmetto Remodeling FAQ
Answers to what Palmetto homeowners ask most before starting a kitchen or bathroom remodel: Manatee County permits, service coverage, history, multi-scope projects, and our showroom.
Yes. Palmetto is an incorporated city in Manatee County, so most kitchen and bathroom remodels are permitted through the City of Palmetto Building Department, while nearby unincorporated areas go through Manatee County. Structural changes, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC all trigger permitting requirements, and waterfront homes along the Manatee River and Terra Ceia Bay carry additional flood-zone and hurricane wind-load review. CMK pulls every 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 all of Palmetto (34221), including Riviera Dunes, Northwood Park, Palmetto Point, Sanctuary Cove, Trevesta, and Esplanade at Artisan Lakes, plus nearby Ellenton (34222), Bradenton (34205/34208), and Parrish (34219). 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 Palmetto, including waterfront homes along the Manatee River and Terra Ceia Bay, condos at Riviera Dunes, established homes in Downtown Palmetto, and newer construction in Trevesta and Esplanade at Artisan Lakes. We have been voted Tampa Bay Times 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 Palmetto 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.
Yes. CMK's Sarasota Design Studio is at 3483 Clark Rd, Sarasota, FL 34231, about 30 to 35 minutes south of Palmetto via I-75 or U.S. 41 (Tamiami Trail). The 4,000 sq ft showroom has real cabinet samples, countertops, tile, and hardware you can see and touch, and once your project is underway a CMK designer will walk through selections with you in person as part of the build.
