Sarasota is unlike anywhere else in Florida. The mid-century ranches of Gulf Gate and South Gate. The craftsman bungalows of Laurel Park. The waterfront homes of Siesta Key and Lido Shores. Every neighborhood has its own character, and every kitchen has its own challenges.
CMK Construction has been remodeling Sarasota kitchens for over two decades. We understand load-bearing walls in 1920s bungalows, the open-concept conversions Sarasota homeowners want most, and the permit requirements unique to Sarasota County Building and Permitting. We also build the entertaining kitchens Siesta Key and Lido Shores waterfront homes deserve: oversized islands, premium appliances, and finishes chosen in person at our Sarasota Design Studio.
From cabinet refacing to full gut renovations, CMK handles every part of your Sarasota kitchen remodel.
Custom and semi-custom cabinets designed for your layout, plus islands with seating, storage, and waterfall-edge stone.

We've completed kitchen remodels throughout Sarasota. Chances are, we've already worked on your street. Here's a look at the neighborhoods we serve most frequently.
Don't see your neighborhood? Call us. We serve all of Sarasota (34231, 34232, 34233, 34234, 34236, 34237, 34239, 34242) and surrounding areas.
Sarasota is unlike anywhere else in Florida. The mid-century ranches of Gulf Gate and South Gate. The craftsman bungalows of Laurel Park. The waterfront homes along Siesta Key and Lido Shores. Most were built between the 1920s and the 1970s, and most have the kitchen layouts to prove it.
Closed-off galley kitchens. Cramped peninsulas. Walls between the kitchen and the Florida room that made sense in 1965 and don't make sense now. Sarasota homes have real character, but the kitchens often don't match how modern families actually live.
We specialize in open-concept conversions that respect the bones of your home while giving you the kitchen you've always wanted. Load-bearing walls removed with proper beam support and Sarasota County permits. Cast-iron drain lines replaced. Galvanized supply lines swapped out. Original character preserved where it matters; modern function added everywhere else. And in the waterfront homes of Siesta Key and Lido Shores, we design entertaining kitchens with oversized islands and premium finishes that finally match the caliber of the house.
Sarasota homeowners have choices. Here's why thousands of them have chosen CMK, and why they refer us to their neighbors.

Real reviews from Sarasota kitchen remodel clients across Gulf Gate, Southside Village, Laurel Park, Siesta Key, Lido Shores, and Downtown Sarasota.
"Our Gulf Gate kitchen remodel with CMK was everything we hoped for. The galley layout had been bothering us for 15 years, and CMK opened it completely into the living room. The design session at their Sarasota showroom made every choice easy, and our project manager was on-site multiple times a week. The finished kitchen is stunning."
"CMK did our Southside Village kitchen from top to bottom. Custom cabinets, quartz island, new plumbing. Our project manager Davis kept us informed every day. Other contractors said the wall couldn't come out. CMK engineered it and got the permit in two weeks."
"We have a 1930s Laurel Park bungalow and were worried no one would understand what we were trying to preserve. CMK got it immediately. New cabinets that look like they belong, quartz countertops, updated plumbing, and our kitchen still feels like it belongs to the house. Worth every penny."
"CMK removed a load-bearing wall in our 1960s ranch and turned a dark galley into an open kitchen. Permits, beam, demo, finish work. They handled everything through Sarasota County. The house 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 condo kitchen needed a full gut. CMK pulled every Sarasota County permit, managed every inspection, and delivered on schedule. Clean work, honest pricing, no surprises."
Most Sarasota 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 Sarasota 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.
