Tampa kitchens run the full range, and so do the reasons to remodel them. The 1920s Seminole Heights bungalow has a kitchen at the back of the house that was meant for a cook, not a host. The 1950s Carrollwood ranch put the kitchen behind a wall. The 2000s estate in Tampa Palms or New Tampa shipped with builder-grade cabinets that already feel ten years old. Different eras, same goal: a kitchen that finally matches how Tampa families live and entertain today.
CMK Construction has been remodeling Tampa kitchens for over two decades and across every ZIP from 33602 to 33647. We know how knob-and-tube wiring runs through Tampa Heights bungalows, which Carrollwood floor plans hide a load-bearing wall behind the peninsula, and how the City of Tampa permit office moves. We also build the entertaining kitchens Tampa Palms and Westchase homeowners want: oversized quartz islands, custom two-tone cabinetry, and panel-ready appliances chosen in person at our Design Studio.
From professional cabinet installation to full gut remodels, CMK handles every part of your kitchen remodel.
Custom and semi-custom cabinets that finally run to the ceiling, plus oversized islands with the seating and storage builder kitchens never had.

Tampa's housing stock spans a century, and each era hides its own surprises. The pre-war bungalows of Seminole Heights and Tampa Heights run knob-and-tube wiring and galvanized plumbing behind the kitchen wall. The 1950s and 60s ranches of Carrollwood tuck a load-bearing wall behind the peninsula. The 2000s estates of Tampa Palms and New Tampa shipped with builder-grade cabinets in a layout that never fit the home.
Each one fails differently, so each one is opened differently. Bungalow kitchens get a full rewire and replumb before a single cabinet goes in, with the original character preserved. Ranch kitchens get an engineered beam and an open-concept conversion. Estate kitchens get custom two-tone cabinetry, an oversized quartz island, and panel-ready appliances that finally match the rest of the house.
We have done all of it, hundreds of times, inside this city. Load-bearing walls removed with structural engineering and City of Tampa permits. Slab plumbing rerouted. Every permit and every inspection through the City of Tampa or Hillsborough County is ours from application to final.
Tampa homeowners have a lot of contractor options. Here's why thousands of Tampa Bay families have chosen CMK, and why they refer us to their neighbors.

Real reviews from Tampa kitchen remodel clients across Seminole Heights, Carrollwood, Tampa Palms, Westchase, Tampa Heights, and New Tampa.
"Our 1925 Seminole Heights bungalow had knob-and-tube wiring behind the kitchen wall and original pine floors we wanted to save. CMK rewired the whole back of the house, refinished the floors, and built a kitchen that looks like it belongs in a 100-year-old home but functions like a brand-new one. Carlos was on site three times a week."
"We had a closed-off galley kitchen in our Carrollwood ranch since 1968. CMK took down the wall to the family room, added an eight-foot island, and rerouted the plumbing through the slab in two days. Zach kept us posted on everything. Worth every penny and finished a week early."
"Full custom kitchen remodel in our Tampa Palms home. The original 2003 cabinets and laminate counters were finally gone. Custom two-tone navy and white cabinets, quartz waterfall island, integrated panel-ready appliances. Aimee at the showroom helped us pick every finish and Davis ran the build to the day."
"Three other Tampa contractors told us we couldn't open the kitchen wall in our Tampa Heights bungalow because of the original framing. CMK had an engineer out within a week, designed a beam to carry the load, and got the City of Tampa permit through on the first submission. The new kitchen feels twice as big."
"Westchase HOA approval can be a nightmare and CMK handled it without us touching it once. The kitchen itself is everything we wanted. Custom shaker cabinets, marble counters, brass hardware throughout. Sahara managed the project and Barry the lead carpenter did beautiful work. Six other contractors bid this and CMK was the only one who walked us through their showroom in person."
"Our New Tampa kitchen was original 2002 oak with a peninsula we hated. CMK reconfigured the whole layout, ripped out the peninsula, added a real island with seating, and replaced the cabinets in custom inset shaker. Nick was our PM and the man does not miss a detail. We finally have the kitchen we should have had on day one."
A kitchen remodel is one of the biggest checks most Tampa homeowners will ever write to a contractor, and most people only do it once or twice. These are the questions worth asking before signing any contract, with any company, not just CMK.
Why it matters: Unlicensed contractors can void your homeowner's insurance and leave you liable for code violations.
Good answer: A state-issued CGC license number on every estimate, plus general liability and workers' comp on file. CMK is CGC 1516665 with Registered Electrical Contractor ER 13016498.
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.
Why it matters: Without a named project manager, you spend the build chasing updates from a salesperson who has already moved on.
Good answer: A named PM, a real person you can call, who visits the job multiple times per week and communicates daily.
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 covering both workmanship and materials for at least one year. CMK's Peace of Mind Warranty does both.
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 4,000 sq ft CMK Design Studio on W. Hillsborough Ave is open to active clients.
Why it matters: "It will 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.
