"Full custom kitchen in our Gulf-front Crescent Beach condo. CMK designed the layout around the water views, handled the building's association approvals and elevator scheduling, and steered us toward finishes that hold up to the salt air. Our project manager Aimee was on top of every detail. The result is stunning."
Built for the Way Siesta Key Lives
Life on Siesta Key happens around the water, and the kitchen is where everyone gathers after the beach. The trouble is the kitchens themselves. Gulf-front and bayfront condos along Crescent Beach and Turtle Beach were built with closed galleys that waste the view. The canal homes of Siesta Isles and the cottages near Siesta Key Village often still have their original layouts. Even the larger homes near Point of Rocks and the Sanderling Club frequently hide kitchens that no longer match the caliber of the property.
CMK Construction has been remodeling kitchens across Sarasota County's barrier islands for over two decades. We know the coastal-material considerations for homes this close to the Gulf, the association approvals and construction windows beach condos require, and the Sarasota County coastal permitting and flood-zone documentation that island properties carry. Open-concept conversions and full custom entertaining kitchens are what Siesta Key homeowners ask for most, and we've built hundreds of them.

Why Siesta Key Homeowners Need a Coastal Specialist.
A kitchen in a Gulf-front Crescent Beach condo is a completely different job than one in a Siesta Isles canal home or a cottage near Siesta Key Village. The condos bring association approvals, certificate-of-insurance requirements, elevator reservations, and strict construction windows. The waterfront homes call for layouts that put the view first and finishes that survive salt air. And every island address carries Sarasota County coastal and flood-zone requirements that inland contractors rarely deal with.
The layouts share one problem: they were built to divide rooms, not to open the home to the water and the way people entertain here now. Galley condo kitchens sealed off from the living room. Canal-home kitchens cut off from the lanai. Cottage kitchens too small to host. None of it matches how Siesta Key lives.
We've solved every one of these, hundreds of times, across the barrier islands. Load-bearing walls removed with engineered beams and Sarasota County coastal permits. Condo building paperwork and construction windows managed without you lifting a finger. Cabinet hardware and finishes chosen to hold up to salt air. That's what two decades of coastal Sarasota County kitchens teaches you.

- ✓ Specialists in Gulf-front condo and canal-home kitchen renovations
- ✓ Load-bearing wall removal with structural engineering & permits
- ✓ Coastal-grade finishes and open-concept conversions that frame the view

Real reviews from Siesta Key kitchen remodel clients across Crescent Beach, Siesta Isles, Siesta Key Village, the Sanderling Club area, Turtle Beach, and Point of Rocks.
"Canal-front home in Siesta Isles. CMK opened the closed-off kitchen to the living room, added an oversized quartz island, and rerouted the plumbing. They knew the Sarasota County coastal permitting process cold and pulled everything without us lifting a finger. Davis kept us posted daily."
"Our Siesta Key Village cottage kitchen was dated and cramped. CMK reconfigured the layout, built custom cabinets, and added a breakfast bar. The showroom visit on Clark Rd made every selection easy. Finished on schedule and the craftsmanship is outstanding."
"Full custom kitchen in our Sanderling Club home. Two-tone cabinetry, a marble waterfall island, panel-ready appliances. CMK was the only contractor who walked us through a real showroom and let us touch every material before ordering. Worth every penny."
"Turtle Beach condo kitchen, full gut. CMK handled the association paperwork, worked inside the building's construction hours, and protected the common areas every day. New cabinets, quartz counters, and a layout that finally works for entertaining. Could not be happier."
"Point of Rocks home, mid-century kitchen opened up into a modern entertaining space. CMK removed a wall with an engineered beam, added an island, and used coastal-grade finishes throughout. Nick ran a clean, on-schedule project."
Questions to Ask Your Siesta Key Kitchen Contractor
A kitchen remodel is one of the biggest checks most Siesta Key homeowners will ever write to a contractor, and island and condo projects add wrinkles inland jobs don't have. These are the questions worth asking before signing any contract, with any company, not just CMK.
-
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 printed on every estimate, plus general liability and workers' comp on file. CMK is CGC 1516665 with Registered Electrical Contractor ER 13016498. -
Do you handle Sarasota County coastal permits and my condo association?
Why it matters: Barrier-island projects carry coastal and flood-zone requirements, and beach condos add association approvals. Homeowner-pulled permits also make you liable for code compliance.
Good answer: The contractor pulls every Sarasota County permit, handles the coastal documentation and association paperwork, 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 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. -
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 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. -
Can I see your showroom and pick materials in person?
Why it matters: Catalog-only selections lead to surprises on install day. Cabinet finishes 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. -
What's your project timeline, and how do you handle delays?
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.
