"Our 1925 Old Northeast bungalow has one 5x7 bathroom, and we were sure nothing could be done with it. CMK reconfigured the layout with a floating vanity and a curbless shower with a linear drain, and the room feels twice the size. They treated the original house with real care."
Why Remodeling Bathrooms in St. Petersburg Is Different
Small, tub-only bathrooms are the most common layout problem we see across St. Petersburg. The 1920s bungalows of Old Northeast and Historic Kenwood were built with one compact bath, the 1950s block homes of Disston Heights got an alcove tub and a single-sink vanity, and plenty of Downtown condos still carry their original 1980s fixtures.
CMK Construction has been transforming St. Petersburg bathrooms for over two decades. We know the cast-iron drains and plaster walls inside the historic districts, the slab plumbing in mid-century block homes, and the permit process at the City of St. Petersburg, including preservation review where it applies. From a simple tub-to-shower conversion to a full master suite, we've done it all.

Modernizing St. Petersburg Bathrooms Without Destroying Original Character.
A bathroom in a 1925 Old Northeast bungalow is not the same job as a bathroom in a 1958 Disston Heights block home or a Downtown St. Pete condo tower. The bungalows max out at 5x7 feet with cast-iron drains and plaster walls. The block homes run their plumbing through the slab. The condos add association approvals and strict construction windows before a single tile comes off.
CMK plans for all of it before demo. In Historic Kenwood and the Old Northeast, that means reconfiguring tight footprints with floating vanities, curbless showers, and large-format tile that makes a small room feel bigger, while keeping the details that make these houses worth owning. In Shore Acres and Snell Isle, it's usually the opposite problem: a dated master bath that doesn't match a waterfront home, rebuilt around an oversized walk-in shower and a freestanding tub.
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.

400+ Verified Reviews. 4.8 Stars.
Real reviews from St. Petersburg bathroom remodel clients across Old Northeast, Historic Kenwood, Shore Acres, Disston Heights, Pinellas Point, and Downtown St. Pete.
"Tub-to-shower conversion in our Disston Heights block home, done in four weeks like they promised. CMK rerouted the slab plumbing, walked us through the Schluter waterproofing before tile went up, and the finished shower is beautiful."
"Master bath remodel in Shore Acres. Double vanity, soaking tub, frameless glass shower. Our project manager Aimee was on top of every detail and sent updates daily. The schedule they gave us before demo is the schedule they hit."
"Full gut of our Downtown St. Pete condo bathroom. CMK worked inside the building's construction windows, handled the association paperwork, and passed every inspection the first time. They were the only contractor who could explain the waterproofing process clearly before we signed."
"We remodeled our Pinellas Point bathroom so we can stay in this house as we get older. CMK built a curbless shower with a bench, anchored the grab bars into solid blocking, and installed a comfort-height vanity. It looks like a spa, not a hospital."
"Our Historic Kenwood bungalow bath still had the original cast-iron tub and plaster walls. CMK converted it to a walk-in shower, kept the period details we loved, and handled the historic-district paperwork with the city. The room finally matches the rest of the house."
Questions to Ask Your St. Petersburg Bathroom Contractor
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 St. Petersburg contractor before signing a contract, with any company, not just CMK.
-
What waterproofing system do you use behind the tile?
Why it matters: This is the single biggest difference between a 5-year bathroom and a 30-year bathroom. Florida's coastal humidity destroys cheap 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. -
Are you licensed and insured in Florida?
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. -
Do you pull all permits, or do I?
Why it matters: Homeowner-pulled permits make you personally liable for code compliance, not the contractor.
Good answer: The contractor pulls every City of St. Petersburg permit, handles any historic-district review, and schedules every inspection at no extra charge. -
Who manages my project day-to-day?
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. -
What's your warranty, and what does it cover?
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. -
Can I see your showroom and pick tile, vanities, and fixtures in person?
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.
