"Full remodel of the kitchen in our Bardmoor golf-course home. CMK opened the wall to the great 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 Largo Families Live
Life in Largo happens close to home, and the kitchen is where everyone lands. The trouble is that most Largo kitchens were never built for that. Mid-century Florida ranch and concrete-block homes from the 1950s through the 1970s across Ridgecrest, Keene Park, Southwest Largo, and East Bay, along with the golf-course homes around Bardmoor and the upscale pocket of Harbor Bluffs, all came from an era when the kitchen was closed off from the living and dining rooms.
CMK Construction has been remodeling Largo kitchens for over two decades. We know the slab plumbing inside older block homes, the HOA architectural review that golf communities like Bardmoor require, the durable finishes these central Pinellas homes call for, and the permit process through the City of Largo (or Pinellas County for unincorporated areas). 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 Largo Homes, Not Generic Remodels.
A kitchen in a golf-course home in Bardmoor is a completely different job than a kitchen in a 1960s Ridgecrest concrete-block ranch or an upscale home in Harbor Bluffs. The golf communities bring HOA architectural review. Mid-century ranch and block homes in Keene Park, Southwest Largo, and East Bay often need slab plumbing reroutes and updated wiring behind the walls. Newer 1990s and 2000s subdivisions across the 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 Largo 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 City of Largo or Pinellas County permits. HOA review 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.

Real reviews from Largo kitchen remodel clients across Bardmoor, East Bay, Ridgecrest, Harbor Bluffs, Southwest Largo, and Keene Park.
"Our East Bay home had the original closed-off kitchen typical of these 1970s Largo ranches. 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 1960s Ridgecrest 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 Harbor Bluffs home is a mid-century Florida ranch 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."
"Southwest Largo, complete kitchen remodel of a dated block ranch. 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 Keene Park ranch 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 Largo Kitchen Remodel Estimate
Estimates are where good and bad contractors look the most alike. These are the questions that separate them, worth asking any Largo 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 Largo 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.
