"Our 1927 Seminole Heights bungalow had the original cast-iron tub we wanted to keep. CMK cleaned and re-glazed it, replaced all the galvanized plumbing behind the wall, re-tiled the surround with period-correct subway tile, and used the Schluter waterproofing we specifically asked about after reading reviews. Davis was our PM and was at the house every day."
Built for the Humidity, the Heat, and the Way Tampa Families Live
Tampa bathrooms run the full range, and so do the reasons to remodel them. A 1925 Seminole Heights bungalow still has its original cast-iron tub and galvanized plumbing. A 1985 Carrollwood ranch has a builder-grade tub-shower combo nobody uses. A Tampa Palms or Avila estate has a primary bath that simply does not match the rest of the house anymore. Different homes, same goal: a bathroom that finally fits how you live.
CMK Construction has been remodeling Tampa bathrooms for over two decades, and we waterproof every wet surface with the Schluter system regardless of scope. We know the galvanized plumbing hiding in older Seminole Heights and Tampa Heights homes, the City of Tampa permit process, and the spa-master expectations of New Tampa and Westchase homeowners. From a simple tub-to-shower conversion to a full freestanding-tub primary suite, we have done it all.

Built Right for Florida Humidity and Tampa Homes.
The most common bathroom remodel failure mode in Tampa is not design. It is waterproofing. A contractor who tiles over cement board without a membrane system is building a water damage problem that shows up in two to five years. The grout goes first. Then the caulk at the corners. Then the tile starts moving. Then there is mold inside the wall. Tampa's humidity never fully drops, which compresses that timeline on every bathroom in the city.
That single standard applies whether we are restoring a Seminole Heights bungalow bath around its original cast-iron tub, converting a tired Carrollwood tub-shower combo into an open walk-in shower, or building a full spa master in Tampa Palms or Avila with a freestanding tub and double vanity. The home and the finishes change. The waterproofing does not.
Every bathroom CMK remodels gets Schluter waterproofing under every tile. Kerdi-Board on the walls, Ditra under the floor, Kerdi-Band at every seam. Our licensed plumbers (CFC 1430533) reroute galvanized lines in older homes before demo is done, and every City of Tampa or Hillsborough County permit is ours from application to final inspection.

Real reviews from Tampa bathroom remodel clients across Seminole Heights, Carrollwood, Tampa Palms, Westchase, Tampa Heights, and New Tampa.
"We had a builder-grade tub and shower combo in our Carrollwood master bath from 1985. CMK converted the tub to a walk-in shower with a bench and a rain head, double vanity in custom shaker, and large-format porcelain tile floor to ceiling. The Schluter system was part of the scope from day one. Completed in five weeks exactly as promised."
"Primary bath in our Tampa Palms home was overdue for a complete gut. CMK gave us a frameless glass walk-in shower with a marble-look porcelain tile, a soaking tub as a feature piece, his-and-hers vanities with quartz tops, and heated floors throughout. Aimee at the showroom helped us get the design right. Best money we've spent on this house."
"We needed a curbless walk-in shower with grab bars and a fold-down bench for my father-in-law who moved in with us. CMK designed it around the occupational therapist's recommendations, pulled the City of Tampa permit, widened the doorway, and finished the whole job in three weeks. Sahara kept us on schedule and the tile work is exceptional."
"Tampa Heights bungalow bathroom, original tile from the 1940s and galvanized pipes. We kept the hex floor (CMK refinished it) and rebuilt everything else with Schluter and new plumbing. Three contractors said they couldn't keep the hex. CMK said yes, matched the grout color perfectly, and the floor looks original. Zach ran a very clean jobsite."
"New Tampa master bath gut renovation. Frameless glass shower with a huge bench and niche, soaking tub, double vanity, the works. CMK handled the Hillsborough County permit, the plumbing reroute through the slab, the drywall, the tile, everything. Carlos was our PM and I never had to chase a single update. He texted me every morning before 8am."
Questions to Ask Your Tampa 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 Tampa contractor before signing a contract, with any company, not just CMK.
-
What waterproofing system do you use behind the tile?
Why it matters: In Tampa's climate, a bathroom without a continuous waterproofing membrane behind the tile will develop mold and water damage within a few years. Caulk and cement board are not a waterproofing system.
Good answer: A name-brand sheet membrane system (Schluter-KERDI, Wedi, or equivalent) installed under every tile, on every wet surface, 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 liable for code violations on a bathroom plumbing or electrical project.
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 every City of Tampa permit, 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 Tampa or Hillsborough County permit and schedules every inspection at no extra charge. -
Who manages my project day-to-day?
Why it matters: Without a named project manager, you spend the build chasing updates from a salesperson who has already moved on to the next sale.
Good answer: A named PM, a real person you can call, who visits the job multiple times per week and communicates daily. -
Can I see tile, fixtures, and vanities in person before ordering?
Why it matters: Small tile samples and catalog photos look very different at full-room scale and in different light. Most homeowners who commit to materials without seeing them in person regret at least one selection.
Good answer: A real showroom with full tile displays, vanity mockups, and fixture selections where you can touch and approve everything before ordering. -
What does your warranty cover?
Why it matters: "We stand behind our work" is not a warranty. Waterproofing failures in particular need a contractor willing to come back and make it right.
Good answer: A written, named warranty covering both workmanship and materials for at least one year, plus a separate manufacturer warranty on the waterproofing membrane. CMK's Peace of Mind Warranty covers both.
