"Full remodel of the kitchen in our 1980s single-family home near High Point Community Park. CMK opened the wall to the living room, built a large 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 Highpoint Families Live
Life in Highpoint happens close to home, and the kitchen is where everyone lands. The trouble is that most Highpoint kitchens were never built for that. This established, inland community in eastern Pinellas County is full of single-family homes built between the 1970s and 1990s, with a scattering of older block houses from the 1940s through the 1960s and small condo and apartment buildings around Feather Sound and Gateway, all from an era when the kitchen was closed off from the living and dining rooms.
CMK Construction has been remodeling Highpoint kitchens for over two decades. We know the slab plumbing inside older block homes, the association approvals that condo buildings require, the durable finishes these practical central Pinellas homes call for, and the Pinellas County permit process that covers this unincorporated community. Opening a small, closed-off original kitchen to the rest of the house is the project we're asked for most, and we've done hundreds of them.

Built for Highpoint Homes, Not Generic Remodels.
A kitchen in a 1990s single-family home near High Point Community Park is a completely different job than a kitchen in a 1970s concrete-block home off 150th Avenue North or a condo near Feather Sound. Condo buildings bring association approvals. Older block homes along the Belcher Road corridor and in South Highpoint often need slab plumbing reroutes and updated wiring behind the walls. Newer 1990s and 2000s homes across the Gateway area each have their own quirks.
The layouts share one problem: they close the kitchen off from the rest of the home. Small original kitchens walled off from the living and dining rooms. Block-home kitchens with a single doorway and no line of sight to where the family gathers. Builder-grade cabinets, dated finishes, and no island. None of them match how people in Highpoint actually live, which is casually and usually with company.
We've solved every one of these, hundreds of times. Load-bearing walls removed with engineered beams and Pinellas County permits. Condo-association and permit paperwork managed without you lifting a finger. Durable finishes and hardware built for everyday family use. That's what two decades of central Pinellas kitchens teaches you.

400+ Verified Reviews. 4.8 Stars.
Real reviews from Highpoint kitchen remodel clients near High Point Community Park, 150th Avenue North, Belcher Road, South Highpoint, Gateway, and Feather Sound.
"Our home off 150th Avenue North had the original closed-off kitchen typical of these 1970s Highpoint houses. 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, connected space that fits how we actually live."
"We replaced the original kitchen in our 1970s block home near Belcher Road 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 South Highpoint home is an older Florida block house and the kitchen had never been touched. CMK designed cabinetry that fits the home perfectly, updated the wiring and plumbing behind the walls, and treated the place with real respect. The result looks like it belongs there."
"Gateway area, complete kitchen remodel of a dated 1990s home. CMK steered us toward durable finishes and hardware that hold up to everyday family use, which no other contractor even mentioned. The quartz island and new layout completely changed how we entertain."
"We're in a Feather Sound condo 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 Highpoint Kitchen Remodel Estimate
Estimates are where good and bad contractors look the most alike. These are the questions that separate them, worth asking any Highpoint 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 Pinellas County permit, handles condo-association 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.
