Perico Bay is a gated waterfront community of villas and condominium homes on Perico Island, laid out for bay views and easy, single-level living. Most were built in the 1980s and 1990s, and most still have the closed-off kitchens and dated finishes to prove it. Every floor plan has its own quirks, and every kitchen has its own challenges.
CMK Construction has been remodeling kitchens across western Manatee County for over two decades. We understand shared-wall plumbing in condos and villas, the open-concept conversions Perico Bay homeowners want most, and the permit requirements of Manatee County Building and Development Services for unincorporated Perico Island. We plan around association rules and build finishes that hold up to salt air and coastal humidity, all selected in person at our Sarasota Design Studio.
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.

We've completed kitchen remodels throughout western Manatee County. Chances are we've already worked near you. Here's a look at the communities we serve most frequently.
Don't see your community? Call us. We serve Perico Bay and all of western Manatee County (34209, 34205, 34207, 34215, 34216, 34217) and surrounding areas.
Perico Bay is a gated waterfront community on Perico Island, a mix of low-rise villas and condominium homes laid out along Palma Sola Bay and the Intracoastal. Most were built in the 1980s and 1990s, and most have the kitchen layouts to prove it.
Closed-off galley kitchens. Cramped peninsulas. A wall between the kitchen and the living room that blocks the water view you bought the place for. Perico Bay homes have a wonderful setting, but the kitchens often don't match how people want to live in them today.
We specialize in open-concept conversions that work within the realities of a condo or villa while giving you the kitchen you've always wanted. Non-structural walls opened up, shared-wall plumbing rerouted with care, dated supply and drain lines replaced, and Manatee County permits and Perico Bay Club association approvals handled for you. We build finishes that hold up to salt air and coastal humidity, and we design around the bay views that make these homes special.
Perico Bay homeowners have choices. Here's why so many of them have chosen CMK, and why they refer us to their neighbors.

Real reviews from kitchen remodel clients across Perico Bay, Perico Island, Palma Sola, west Bradenton, and the Anna Maria Island communities.
"Our villa kitchen in Perico Bay Club had the same dark, closed-off layout since the '90s. CMK opened it up, added a proper island, and handled the association approval along with the Manatee County permit. The design session at their Sarasota studio made every choice easy, and our project manager was on-site all the time. The finished kitchen is stunning."
"CMK did our Perico Island condo kitchen from top to bottom. Custom cabinets, quartz island, new plumbing behind a shared wall. Our project manager kept us informed every day. Other contractors would not touch the shared-wall plumbing. CMK planned it and got the permit through Manatee County."
"We wanted a kitchen that finally matched the Palma Sola Bay view out our windows. CMK understood the salt-air environment, chose finishes that will hold up, and delivered a bright, open kitchen. Updated plumbing, quartz countertops, and it still feels like it belongs to the house. Worth every penny."
"CMK reworked our closed-off 1990s kitchen in west Bradenton into an open layout. Cabinetry, countertops, permits, finish work: they handled everything through Manatee County. The place feels twice as big now."
"After interviewing four contractors, CMK was the only one who walked us through a real showroom and let us touch everything before signing. The PM kept the whole project on schedule. Kitchen is gorgeous. Highly recommend."
"Our Bradenton Beach condo kitchen needed a full gut. CMK pulled every Manatee County permit, coordinated with the building, managed every inspection, and delivered on schedule. Clean work, honest pricing, no surprises."
Most Perico Bay homeowners only remodel a kitchen once or twice in their lives, which makes vetting a contractor harder than it should be. These are the questions worth asking before signing any contract, with any company, 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 Manatee County permit and schedules every inspection at no extra charge, start to finish.
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 CMK Sarasota Design Studio on Clark Rd 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.
