Who Shares Your Vision?
It’s ideal to collaborate with a design-build company who reflects your vision, style, and personality when you take on an exciting remodel. Cabex Construction masters the art of renovation by designing fully custom, breathtaking homes you truly must see to believe (one such home increased the value of the west side of the Country Club, but more about that in a minute).
Raising home values since 2007, Cabex Construction is your remodeling specialist capable of handling every aspect of your project from the luxurious design to the actual craftsmanship. The result? An extravagant living space designed for even the most eclectic homeowner.
A Question for Cabex: What Can I Expect a Designer to Ask Me?
There are some common questions we like to ask our clients. How do you want to use your space? What is the overall goal with the remodel? Do you want low maintenance or high-end materials for the finished product? These questions make sure we’re steering the design conversation in the right direction.
One-Stop-Shop
As a licensed contractor (CBC1263965) and design-build firm, Cabex Construction is there for you every step of the way. Cabex is a one-stop remodel company from the design work, architectural work, engineering, all the way to the custom build-out.

A Question for Cabex: What is the Most Important Advice a Designer Can Give?
The best advice we can give through the design process is to really be open to suggestions and ideas that pull you outside the box. That’s really going to add an extra level of design and service to your space and to your design. In short, have fun!
At the beginning of the design process, the designers at Cabex Construction like to tell their clients to bring inspiration photos. They start there and customize those images into the design for the client’s space. Those designs are brought into programs and built into 3D models and floor plans to make it even easier for the client to visualize their space, make changes, and nail down all the details.

A Question for Cabex: What Remodel Adds the Most Value?
If we had to choose one area to upgrade to add the most value, we would say start with the kitchen. If you think about it, the kitchen is where you spend a lot of your time, right? Why not invest in an area you’re going to be entertaining in and spending time with family?
Standing Out in the Sarasota Crowd
Owner and CEO Joe Menna explains how Cabex Construction stands out from other remodeling companies in Sarasota and Bradenton.
“When you come to us and we give you a price, we’re hard pricing it,” Menna says, “so the difference is we’re not giving you allowances. We’re working with you to make all the selections so that when we come to the table and give you a price, it’s from everything we picked out for your space. We’re also doing all the drawings and then we’re putting it all into the contract so that everyone knows what’s happening up front. Because of this, we’re able to eliminate as many questions as possible.”
A Question for Cabex: What is Your Favorite Design Trend This Year?
So many Florida homeowners are looking for a unique fireplace element. The only difference with these fireplaces is that they’re purely for ambience and have no heat. These water vapor fireplaces run on electricity and water and use LED lights to deliver the effect of fire.
Pretty Close to Perfect
Eliminating questions during design helps the entire project, even during construction, run smoothly. The result is a near-perfection remodel, much like the Country Club home mentioned earlier (pictured below). When Cabex completed this home in 2018 prior to the current market boom, the entire west side of the Country Club increased in value.

That’s the kind of quality you can expect from Cabex Construction, and that high-end quality comes with the right investment in your home. To that point, Menna says, “Don’t be scared of a larger investment if that means your project will be done right in the end. Invest in a reputable company to really give yourself the good quality that will make your home shine for years to come.”
A Question for Cabex: What are You Most Excited About in Your Showroom?
We just added a new collection of natural quartz in our showroom. Natural quartz is a favorite for homeowners because of its high-glamour styles, eclectic color choices, and life-long durability.
Looking for inspiration for your own upgrade? Visit our 3,000-square foot showroom at 5682 Fruitville Road or give us a call at (941) 780-7800 to book a complimentary design session with one of our designers. We’re excited to collaborate with you on what’s sure to be a beautiful reflection of your personality and style!
