Life in Palm Harbor happens around the water and the golf course, and the kitchen is where everyone lands afterward. The trouble is that most Palm Harbor kitchens were never built for that. Old Florida cottages on the canals of Ozona and Crystal Beach, 1970s and 80s golf-resort homes around Innisbrook, and the original kitchens in deed-restricted communities like Lansbrook and East Lake Woodlands all came from an era when the kitchen was hidden away.
CMK Construction has been remodeling Palm Harbor kitchens for over two decades. We know the plumbing inside older coastal cottages, the HOA architectural review that golf and lake communities require, the finishes that hold up to canal and gulf-side salt air, and the permit process at Pinellas County Building and Development Review Services. Open-concept conversions are the project we're asked for most, and we've done hundreds of them.
From cabinet refacing 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 an Ozona or Crystal Beach waterfront cottage is a completely different job than a kitchen in a 1970s Innisbrook golf-resort home or a deed-restricted Lansbrook or East Lake Woodlands family home. The waterfront cottages bring older coastal construction, canal-side conditions, and flood-zone considerations. The golf and lake communities bring HOA architectural review. The 55-plus homes of Highland Lakes often call for accessibility upgrades. Newer 1990s and 2000s builds across the area each have their own quirks.
The layouts share one problem: they close the kitchen off from the rest of the home. Cottage kitchens sealed behind a wall from the water view. Resort-era kitchens cut off from the living room. Original kitchens with dated cabinets and no island. None of them match how people in Palm Harbor actually live, which is casually, with the gulf light in, and usually with company.
We've solved every one of these, hundreds of times. Load-bearing walls removed with engineered beams and Pinellas County permits. HOA review and county paperwork managed without you lifting a finger. Cabinet hardware and finishes chosen to stand up to salt air. That's what two decades of coastal Pinellas kitchens teaches you.

Real reviews from Palm Harbor kitchen remodel clients across Lansbrook, Ozona, Crystal Beach, Innisbrook, East Lake Woodlands, and Highland Lakes.
"Full remodel of the kitchen in our Lansbrook golf-community home. CMK opened the wall to the great room, built a huge 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 Ozona cottage sits right on the canal and had the original closed-off kitchen. 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 space with the water view we always wanted."
"We replaced the original kitchen in our East Lake Woodlands 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 Innisbrook home is from the resort's early golf-course era 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."
"Crystal Beach waterfront home, complete kitchen remodel. CMK steered us toward finishes and hardware that stand up to the salt air, which no other contractor even mentioned. The quartz island and new layout completely changed how we entertain."
"We're in the 55-plus Highland Lakes community 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 Palm Harbor 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 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.
