Ruskin has been growing since 1908, and its bathrooms tell two stories. The older riverfront and farm homes near the Little Manatee River and along the U.S. 41 and College Avenue corridors were built decades ago with original baths inside: pink and avocado tile, cast-iron tubs nobody steps into, and showers that have quietly aged behind the glass. The newer master-planned communities like Hawks Point, Belmont, Cypress Creek, and River Bend have the opposite problem, builder-grade finishes that were dated the day the paint dried, cultured-marble vanity tops and fiberglass tub-and-shower combos. Different eras, same story: a great Ruskin house waiting for a bathroom that finally matches it.
CMK Construction has been transforming Ruskin bathrooms for over two decades. We know how to gut an original riverfront bath down to the studs, upgrade a builder-grade bath into a high-end spa master suite, convert an unused fiberglass tub into an open walk-in shower, and design an accessible curbless shower for aging in place. We handle the neighborhood HOA approvals, the deed-restriction paperwork, and the Hillsborough County permits so you never have to. From a single shower update to a full primary suite, we've done it all.

Ruskin grew up as a farming town on the Little Manatee River, and that history shapes every bathroom here. The older riverfront and farm homes near the river and along College Avenue and U.S. 41 still carry their original baths: cast-iron tubs, small-format tile, and worn-out fixtures that decades of humidity finished off years ago. The newer master-planned communities, Hawks Point, Belmont, Cypress Creek, and River Bend, have builder-grade baths instead: fiberglass tub-and-shower combos no one uses and cultured-marble tops. The homes are excellent. The bathrooms are simply due for an upgrade.
CMK plans for all of it before demo. In an original riverfront bath, that means gutting to the studs and dealing with what we find behind the tile, because decades of Florida humidity are unforgiving. In the newer builder homes, it often means converting an unused fiberglass tub into an open walk-in shower with floating vanities and large-format tile that makes the room feel bigger. In the larger homes closer to Tampa Bay, it usually means a full spa master suite: freestanding tub, oversized shower, double vanity, and high-end finishes throughout. And for the long-time owners planning to stay put, we design accessible, curbless walk-in showers for aging in place that look like a spa, not a hospital.
Every bathroom CMK remodels gets Schluter waterproofing under every tile. It's a lifetime-warrantied membrane that many contractors skip, and it's the single biggest difference between a bathroom that lasts 30 years and one that starts leaking in 10, especially with Florida's relentless humidity and the salt air working on a home this close to the bay.
Ruskin homeowners have choices. Here's why thousands of Tampa Bay families have chosen CMK, and why they refer us to their neighbors.

Real reviews from Ruskin bathroom remodel clients across Hawks Point, Belmont, Cypress Creek, the Little Manatee River, Bahia Beach, and River Bend.
"We updated the master bath in our Hawks Point home and it is a completely different room. CMK handled the HOA approval paperwork, kept the job site spotless, and passed every inspection the first time. The walk-in shower with frameless glass made the whole upstairs feel new."
"Tub-to-shower conversion in our Belmont home, finished in four weeks like they promised. Our project manager Nick explained the Schluter waterproofing before any tile went up, and the new shower looks like it came out of a magazine. The gated community access was no problem for their crew."
"Our early-2000s builder-grade bathroom in Cypress Creek felt dated and cramped. CMK reconfigured the layout with a floating vanity and a curbless shower with a linear drain, and the room feels twice as big. Smart design, clean work, high-end finishes throughout."
"Spa master bath in our riverfront home near the Little Manatee River. Freestanding tub, oversized walk-in shower, double vanity. The Design Studio made every selection easy once we were underway, and the finished room is the best part of the house now."
"Bahia Beach master bath, full remodel. CMK upgraded our tired builder-grade bath with high-end tile, frameless glass, and a new floating vanity. The Schluter waterproofing gives us real peace of mind with the salt air and humidity out here near the bay, and there was not a single surprise on the invoice."
"We remodeled our River Bend bathroom so we can stay in this house as we age. CMK built a curbless walk-in shower with a bench, anchored the grab bars into solid blocking, and it looks like a spa, not a hospital. Could not be happier."
Bathrooms are the single most common place a remodel goes wrong years after it finishes, almost always because of how the shower was waterproofed. These are the questions worth asking any Ruskin contractor before signing a contract, with any company, not just CMK.
Why it matters: This is the single biggest difference between a 5-year bathroom and a 30-year bathroom. Florida's relentless humidity destroys budget 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.
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.
Why it matters: Homeowner-pulled permits make you personally liable for code compliance, not the contractor.
Good answer: The contractor pulls every Hillsborough County permit, handles neighborhood HOA 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.
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, 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.
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 4,000 sq ft CMK Design Studio on W. Hillsborough Ave is open to active clients.
