New Tampa is a master-planned district of northeast Tampa, and the kitchen is where everyone in the family lands. The trouble is that most of these homes still have the layout and finishes they were built with in the 1990s and 2000s. Builder-grade cabinets and laminate or basic-stone counters, and floor plans that only half-open the cook to the living and family rooms. The golf-course homes of Hunters Green, the gated homes of Grand Hampton and Arbor Greene, and the estate homes of Tampa Palms all share that same dated starting point.
CMK Construction has been remodeling New Tampa kitchens for over two decades. We know how to open up a master-planned New Tampa floor plan, where the load-bearing walls run, how to trade builder-grade finishes for high-end custom cabinetry and quartz, how to handle slab plumbing reroutes, and how to clear HOA approval in communities like Tampa Palms and Hunters Green and a City of Tampa permit without you lifting a finger. Open-concept conversions are the project we are asked for most, and we have done hundreds of them.
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.

A kitchen in a golf-course home in Hunters Green is a different job than a kitchen in a gated Grand Hampton home or an estate home in Tampa Palms. The 1990s and 2000s homes came with builder-grade cabinets, laminate or basic-stone counters, and partially closed floor plans; the larger estate homes bring compartmentalized formal kitchens and original slab plumbing.
The layouts share one problem: they wall the kitchen off from the rest of the home. Dated galley kitchens behind a half-wall. Cooks cut off from the family room. Thin stock cabinets and no real island. None of it matches how people in New Tampa actually live now, which is casually, with the whole family in one open space, and usually with company.
We've solved every one of these, hundreds of times. Load-bearing walls removed with engineered beams and City of Tampa permits. Slab plumbing reroutes handled in Tampa Palms and Hunters Green homes. HOA approvals handled for you whenever the work touches the exterior. Builder-grade finishes traded for high-end custom cabinetry and quartz. That's what two decades of Tampa Bay kitchens teaches you.

Real reviews from New Tampa kitchen remodel clients across Tampa Palms, Hunters Green, Arbor Greene, West Meadows, Grand Hampton, and Cross Creek.
"Full remodel of our Tampa Palms kitchen. CMK handled the City of Tampa permit and the HOA approval for the exterior window change, kept the job site spotless, and finished on the day they promised. They opened up the wall to the dining area and the whole home feels twice as big now."
"Our Hunters Green home still had the builder-grade kitchen from the 1990s. CMK removed the half-wall to the family room with an engineered beam, added a quartz island, and our project manager Barry walked us through every step. As a busy family we appreciated how clean they kept everything."
"We replaced the dated, closed-off kitchen in our Arbor Greene home with custom cabinets, a quartz island, and new lighting. Picking everything at the Tampa showroom in person made the decisions easy. On schedule, on budget, and the install crew was meticulous."
"Our home backs onto a conservation preserve in West Meadows and we wanted a kitchen worthy of the view. CMK reconfigured the whole layout, added a big window over the sink looking out at the trees, and chose finishes that feel high-end without being flashy. Several neighbors have already asked who did the work."
"Grand Hampton home, complete kitchen remodel. CMK steered us away from the builder-grade finishes the house came with and toward high-end materials that will last. The quartz island and new open layout completely changed how we entertain in our gated Grand Hampton home."
"Open-concept conversion in our Cross Creek home. Daily updates from the project manager, a clean job site every evening, and the schedule they promised is the schedule they kept. We've already recommended CMK to two neighbors."
Estimates are where good and bad contractors look the most alike. These are the questions that separate them, worth asking any New Tampa company before signing a contract, not just CMK.
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.
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 permit, handles HOA paperwork where it applies, and schedules every inspection at no extra charge.
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.
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.
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.
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.
