Life in Oldsmar happens close to home, and the kitchen is where everyone lands. The trouble is that most Oldsmar kitchens were never built for that. The 1920s through 1950s and mid-century homes along the leafy southern lanes near Old Tampa Bay, in Tampa Shores and off Shore Drive, and the 1970s through 1990s subdivisions north of Tampa Road in Cypress Forest, Bayside Meadows, and Forest Lakes all came from eras when the kitchen was walled off from the living and dining rooms.
CMK Construction has been remodeling Oldsmar kitchens for over two decades. We know the slab plumbing inside the older bayside homes, the HOA architectural review that gated golf communities like East Lake Woodlands require, the durable finishes these Pinellas County homes call for, and the permit process through the City of Oldsmar. 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.
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 gated golf-course home in East Lake Woodlands is a completely different job than a kitchen in a 1950s block cottage on the leafy south end near Old Tampa Bay or a bayfront home off Shore Drive in Tampa Shores. The gated golf communities bring HOA architectural review. The older homes down by the bay, laid out along the tree-lined boulevards R.E. Olds platted in 1916, often need slab plumbing reroutes and updated wiring behind the walls. The 1970s through 1990s subdivisions north of Tampa Road in Cypress Forest, Bayside Meadows, and Forest Lakes 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 Oldsmar 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 Oldsmar 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 north Pinellas kitchens teaches you.

Real reviews from Oldsmar kitchen remodel clients across East Lake Woodlands, Cypress Forest, Tampa Shores, Bayside Meadows, Forest Lakes, and Gull-Aire Village.
"Full remodel of the kitchen in our East Lake Woodlands 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."
"Our Cypress Forest home had the original closed-off kitchen typical of these 1970s Oldsmar subdivisions. 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 1950s Tampa Shores block home near the bay 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 Bayside Meadows 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."
"Forest Lakes, complete kitchen remodel of a dated 1980s subdivision 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 Gull-Aire Village villa 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."
Estimates are where good and bad contractors look the most alike. These are the questions that separate them, worth asking any Oldsmar 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 Oldsmar or Pinellas County permit, handles HOA architectural-review 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.
