Odessa family life runs through the kitchen: weeknight dinners, homework at the counter, half the neighborhood over on game day. The kitchens themselves haven't kept up. The 1980s and 1990s custom estates on the acreage of Keystone and Van Dyke Farms still carry closed-off layouts, and the 2000s through 2020s master-planned communities of Starkey Ranch, Asturia, and Ivy Lake Estates came with builder-grade cabinets, laminate or basic-stone counters, and islands too small to seat anyone.
CMK Construction has been remodeling kitchens northwest of Tampa for over two decades. We know the plumbing reroutes under these homes, the well-and-septic systems on the older acreage estates, the soffits hiding ductwork above the cabinets, and the permit process on both sides of the line. Odessa straddles the Hillsborough-Pasco county line, so most kitchen remodels require permits through Hillsborough County Development Services or Pasco County Building Construction Services, depending on which side of the line your home sits, plus the HOA architectural reviews many communities add. Open-concept conversions and builder-grade-to-custom upgrades are the projects we're asked for most, and we've 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.

The custom estates on the acreage of Keystone and Van Dyke Farms went up in the 1980s and 1990s, many on well and septic, with kitchens closed off from the rest of the house. The gated golf homes of The Eagles and Nine Eagles followed, and the master-planned communities of Starkey Ranch, Asturia, Ivy Lake Estates, and Grey Hawk at Lake Polo arrived from the 2000s on with builder-grade kitchens installed by the thousand. Even these newer homes often carry standard builder finishes in houses that deserve better.
Each one asks for something different. The older estates hide their own plumbing reroutes, well-and-septic systems, and custom framing. The master-planned homes hide ductwork and wiring in the soffits above the cabinets, and the wall between the kitchen and family room is the one everyone wants gone. Many Odessa communities add an HOA architectural review, and because Odessa straddles the Hillsborough-Pasco county line, the permit may run through either county.
We've solved every one of these, hundreds of times. Walls verified against the framing and removed with engineered beams and proper permits. Plumbing rerouted without tearing up half the house, well-and-septic setups included. Builder-grade boxes replaced with custom cabinetry that runs to the ceiling. That's what two decades of remodeling northwest of Tampa teaches you.

Real reviews from Odessa kitchen remodel clients across The Eagles, Keystone, Starkey Ranch, Ivy Lake Estates, Grey Hawk at Lake Polo, and Van Dyke Farms.
"Our home in The Eagles had a big kitchen but a closed-off 1990s layout. CMK took the wall down to the family room, ran custom cabinets to the ceiling, and built the quartz island we'd wanted for years. They handled the gate access, the HOA approval, and the Hillsborough County permits, and our project manager kept us updated every single day."
"We have an older estate home on acreage in Keystone and the kitchen was original to the house. CMK opened it to the dining room, rerouted the plumbing for the new island sink, and worked around our well and septic setup without a single surprise. They knew exactly what they'd find inside this house before demo even started."
"Full custom kitchen in our Starkey Ranch home. The showroom selections made every decision easy because we touched every cabinet door and countertop slab before signing off. CMK pulled the Pasco County permits and finished right on schedule."
"New cabinets, countertops, backsplash, and under-cabinet lighting in our Ivy Lake Estates home. Our project manager sent daily updates, the job site was clean every evening, and there were no surprises on the invoice. The kitchen looks like it belongs in a brand-new house."
"Our Grey Hawk home is only a few years old, but the kitchen was standard builder spec. CMK redesigned it around entertaining: a 10-foot island, panel-ready appliances, and a full-height backsplash. It finally matches the rest of the house. The 3D renderings showed us exactly what we were getting before anything was ordered."
"CMK combined our Van Dyke Farms kitchen and breakfast nook into one big open space. The soffits came out, the ductwork got rerouted, and the new pantry wall holds more than our old cabinets ever did. This is the second project CMK has done for us and it won't be the last."
Most Odessa homeowners remodel a kitchen once, maybe twice, and every contractor sounds equally confident in the first meeting. These are the questions that show you who's actually equipped to do the job, worth asking any company, 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 permit, whether it runs through Hillsborough County Development Services or Pasco County Building Construction Services, handles the HOA paperwork where your community requires it, and schedules every inspection at no extra charge, start to finish. CMK pulls every permit under license numbers CGC 1516665, CFC 1430533, and ER 13016498.
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.
