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. From Gulf Gate to the water's edge, we've done it all.
Real kitchen remodels across Sarasota, from Gulf Gate ranches to Laurel Park bungalows to Southside Village homes. See how we open closed-off floor plans, modernize mid-century kitchens, and preserve the character that makes Sarasota homes special.

Sarasota's mid-century kitchens were built for a different era. CMK opens floor plans, removes load-bearing walls with engineering and Sarasota County permits, and builds fully custom kitchens from design through final inspection. We specialize in transforming the compartmentalized layouts common in Gulf Gate ranches and South Gate mid-century homes into the bright, open spaces these properties deserve.
See our custom kitchen designs →Siesta Key. Lido Shores. Bird Key. Sarasota's waterfront and coastal homes were built to live with the doors open. We design kitchens with sliding glass walls, pass-through windows to the lanai, and dual-zone islands that turn the kitchen into the center of year-round entertaining. Pair with quartz waterfall islands and integrated panel-ready appliances for the full coastal-modern look.
Compare countertop materials →Gulf Gate ranches. Laurel Park bungalows. South Gate mid-century homes. Sarasota's older homes require a contractor who understands Sarasota County permits, load-bearing wall dynamics in post-war construction, and how to modernize a space without destroying its character. CMK has done hundreds of these. Every permit pulled and managed by CMK.

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.
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.
