We Know Ruskin Homes Better Than Anyone
Ruskin is a growing, unincorporated community in southeastern Hillsborough County, spread out along Tampa Bay and the Little Manatee River and built on a long agricultural history, the tomato farms and produce fields the town has been known for since it was founded in 1908. Older riverfront and farm homes near the water and along College Avenue. Original 1960s through 1980s homes along the U.S. 41 corridor. Newer master-planned subdivisions from the 1990s and 2000s like Belmont, Cypress Creek, Hawks Point, and River Bend east of U.S. 41. Tampa Bay shoreline homes in Shell Point and Bahia Beach. The older homes are the ones we hear about most. Great lots, great water and river access, and kitchens and baths that never left the decade they were built in. A contractor who treats an older riverfront home the same as a new subdivision build will miss something. We don't.
CMK has remodeled hundreds of homes across Ruskin. We've gutted dated original kitchens in older homes near the Little Manatee River and E.G. Simmons Park, replaced worn cabinets and laminate with new custom and semi-custom cabinetry and quartz, reworked kitchens in newer communities like Belmont and Cypress Creek, and built custom baths in Tampa Bay shoreline homes at Shell Point and Bahia Beach. Salt-air-resistant finishes and hardware, hurricane and impact-rated window work, FEMA flood-zone and elevation requirements, slab plumbing reroutes, load-bearing wall removal, and HOA approvals across Ruskin's many community associations. We've seen it, solved it, and done it on a street near yours.
That's the difference between a generic Tampa Bay contractor and a Ruskin specialist. Our Design Studio is a straight run up U.S. 41 or Interstate 75, and our crews work Shell Point Road, College Avenue, and U.S. 41 all the time.

Reviews from Ruskin Clients
"Our older home near the river still had its original 1970s kitchen. CMK took down the wall to the living room, added a large quartz island, and handled the county permits. We still finished on schedule. Now the whole back of the house looks out at the yard the way it always should have."
"Spa master bath in our Belmont home. Freestanding tub, frameless walk-in shower, Schluter waterproofing throughout, and finishes picked to hold up to the humidity. CMK pulled the Hillsborough County permits and finished in seven weeks."
"Full kitchen and master bath in our Cypress Creek home, both under one CMK contract. Same PM, same crew, same designer. Even the permits went through together."

Ruskin Remodeling FAQ
Answers to what Ruskin homeowners ask most before starting a kitchen or bathroom remodel: Hillsborough County permits, service coverage, history, multi-scope projects, and our showroom.
Yes. Ruskin is an unincorporated community in Hillsborough County, so kitchen and bathroom remodels are permitted through Hillsborough County Development Services rather than a city office. Structural changes, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC all trigger permitting requirements, and any work that affects the exterior may also need approval from your community or HOA. CMK pulls every Hillsborough County permit under our own license numbers (General Contractor CGC 1516665, Plumbing CFC 1430533, and Electrical ER 13016498), so you never need to visit the permit office. Work done without permits can cause problems at resale and may void your homeowner's insurance. Schedule a consultation and we will walk through what your project requires.
Yes. CMK serves every neighborhood in Ruskin (33570), from the older riverfront and farm homes near the Little Manatee River to the master-planned subdivisions east of U.S. 41, including Shell Point, Bahia Beach, Antigua Cove, Hawks Point, Belmont, Cypress Creek, and River Bend. We also serve the surrounding communities of Apollo Beach (33572), Sun City Center (33573), Wimauma (33598), and Gibsonton (33534). If you don't see your neighborhood listed, call us. We likely serve it.
CMK Construction has been in business since 2004, more than 20 years of kitchen and bathroom remodeling across Tampa Bay. We have completed hundreds of remodels across Ruskin, including older riverfront and farm homes near the Little Manatee River, original 1960s through 1980s homes along the U.S. 41 and College Avenue corridors, newer master-planned homes in Belmont, Cypress Creek, and Hawks Point, and Tampa Bay shoreline homes in Shell Point and Bahia Beach. We have been voted Tampa Bay Times Best of the Best six consecutive years, 2020 through 2025.
Yes. CMK handles both scopes under one contract with a single dedicated project manager overseeing design, permits, scheduling, and inspections from start to finish. There is no handoff between teams and no competing contractors. Many Ruskin homeowners combine a kitchen and bathroom remodel at the same time. It is often more efficient since permits are pulled together and the disruption happens in one stretch rather than two.
Yes. CMK's Tampa Design Studio is at 13329 W. Hillsborough Ave #102, roughly a 40 to 50 minute drive from Ruskin up U.S. 41 or Interstate 75 north. It is the closest CMK showroom to Ruskin.
