"Full remodel of the kitchen in our Dunedin Isles home. CMK opened the wall to the great room, built a huge quartz island, and matched the cabinetry to the rest of the house. Their project manager kept us posted every day and the crew left the site spotless. Worth every week of the wait."
Designed Around the Way Dunedin Families Live
A Dunedin weekend runs through Main Street, the Pinellas Trail, and the causeway out to Honeymoon Island, and the kitchen is where everyone lands afterward. The trouble is that most Dunedin kitchens were never built for that. The Craftsman and Mediterranean Revival houses near downtown, the 1920s homes in Dunedin Isles, the 1950s through 1970s concrete-block ranches in Brae-Moor and Fairway Estates, and the older waterfront homes along Edgewater Drive all came from an era when the kitchen was a small room closed off from the rest of the house.
CMK Construction has been remodeling Dunedin kitchens for over two decades. We know the slab plumbing inside older block homes, the plaster and original trim in the historic houses off Scotland Street, the salt-air-resistant cabinet finishes and hardware that hold up near St. Joseph Sound, and the permit process through the City of Dunedin building department. Opening a closed-off kitchen to the living room without losing the character of the house is the project we're asked for most, and we've done hundreds of them.

Built for Dunedin Homes, Not Generic Remodels.
A kitchen in a 1920s Downtown Dunedin Craftsman or a Mediterranean Revival house near Scotland Street is a completely different job than a kitchen in a 1960s Brae-Moor concrete-block ranch or a Sound-front home on Edgewater Drive. The historic houses bring plaster walls, arched openings, and original trim worth keeping. The Dunedin Isles homes from the 1920s boom bring tight original footprints. Mid-century block homes in Fairway Estates and Loch Lomond often need slab plumbing reroutes and updated wiring. Waterfront homes near St. Joseph Sound add salt-air exposure and flood-zone review.
The layouts share one problem: they close the kitchen off from the rest of the home. Historic kitchens sealed behind a wall as a back-of-house work room. Block-home kitchens cut off from the living room. Original kitchens with builder-grade cabinets, dated finishes, and no island. None of them match how people in Dunedin actually live, which is casually, with the doors open, and usually with company back from Main Street.
We've solved every one of these, hundreds of times. Load-bearing walls removed with engineered beams and City of Dunedin or Pinellas County permits. HOA and condo association paperwork managed without you lifting a finger. Salt-air-resistant cabinet hardware and finishes chosen to hold up near the water, and new cabinetry detailed to sit right next to century-old trim. That's what two decades of Pinellas kitchens teaches you.

Real reviews from Dunedin kitchen remodel clients in Dunedin Isles, Downtown Dunedin, Brae-Moor, Fairway Estates, and along the St. Joseph Sound waterfront.
"Our home on Edgewater Drive looks straight out at St. Joseph Sound and still had the original closed-off kitchen. CMK removed the wall to the living room with an engineered beam, rerouted the plumbing, and our project manager Barry walked us through every step. The house finally feels like one open space with the water view we always wanted."
"We replaced the original kitchen in our 1960s Brae-Moor block home with custom cabinets, a quartz island, and new lighting. Picking everything at the showroom in person made the decisions easy. On schedule, on budget, and the install crew was meticulous."
"Our home a few blocks off Main Street in downtown Dunedin is a 1920s Craftsman and the kitchen had never been touched. CMK designed cabinetry that fits the period trim perfectly, updated the wiring and plumbing behind the walls, and treated the old house with real respect. The result looks like it belongs there."
"Sound-front home in Curlew Landings, complete kitchen remodel. CMK steered us toward finishes and hardware that stand up to the salt air off the water, which no other contractor even mentioned. The quartz island and new layout completely changed how we entertain."
"We're in a Fairway Estates ranch near the Dunedin Country Club and wanted a kitchen that's easier to move around in. CMK lowered a section of counter, widened the walkways, and added better lighting throughout. Daily updates from the project manager, a clean job site every evening, and the schedule they promised is the schedule they kept."
Smart Questions for Your Dunedin Kitchen Remodel Estimate
Estimates are where good and bad contractors look the most alike. These are the questions that separate them, worth asking any Dunedin company before signing a contract, 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 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 Dunedin or Pinellas County permit, handles HOA architectural-review paperwork where it applies, 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. Tile 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 4,000 sq ft CMK Design Studio on W. Hillsborough Ave 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.
