"Our Bayshore Beautiful kitchen remodel with CMK was flawless from start to finish. Our sales rep Chris was crystal clear on what would happen and it did. The design session was fun choosing all the amazing products, our project manager was on site 2–3 times a week, and the new kitchen is everything we hoped for."
We Know South Tampa Kitchens Better Than Anyone
South Tampa is unlike anywhere else in the Bay. The bungalows of Hyde Park. The waterfront estates along Bayshore. The mid-century homes of Palma Ceia. The revitalized townhomes of Channelside. Every neighborhood has its own character, and every kitchen has its own challenges.

We understand load-bearing walls in 1920s craftsman homes, the open-concept conversions South Tampa homeowners want most, and the permit requirements unique to the City of Tampa. From Bayshore to the water's edge, we've done it all.

South Tampa Homes Have Character. Their Kitchens Usually Don't.
South Tampa is unlike anywhere else in Tampa Bay. The bungalows of Hyde Park. The waterfront estates along Bayshore Beautiful. The mid-century ranches of Palma Ceia and Sunset Park. The craftsman homes of Davis Islands. Most were built between the 1920s and the 1990s, and most have the kitchen layouts to prove it.
Closed-off galley kitchens. Cramped peninsulas. Walls between the kitchen and the living room that made sense in 1978 and don't make sense now. South Tampa homes have real character, but the kitchens often don't match how modern families actually live.
We specialize in open-concept conversions that respect the bones of your home while giving you the kitchen you've always wanted. Load-bearing walls removed with proper beam support and City of Tampa permits. Knob-and-tube wiring replaced. Galvanized plumbing swapped out for PEX. Original character preserved where it matters; modern function added everywhere else.

Real reviews from South Tampa kitchen remodel clients across Hyde Park, Palma Ceia, Bayshore Beautiful, Davis Islands, Sunset Park, and Ballast Point.
"Hands down the best kitchen remodel contractor in South Tampa. While CMK may not be the lowest bid you receive, I can assure you they will do the best work. Our project manager Davis was always available and kept us apprised of every step, and the finished Palma Ceia kitchen is exceptional from end to end."
"We hired CMK for a full kitchen remodel in our Hyde Park home and could not be happier. Aimee, CMK's Interior Designer, made us feel right at home in their showroom, and Barry under-promised and over-delivered. Three other companies bid the kitchen but no one matched how thorough and detailed CMK was."
"We had CMK open up the wall between our kitchen and living room. Total game changer for our 1960s ranch. Permits, engineering, demo, beam, finish work. They handled everything. House feels twice as big and the kitchen island is everything we wanted."
"Our 1925 bungalow needed a kitchen that worked for a modern family without losing the historic character. CMK got it. The new cabinets look original to the house but everything functions like a brand-new build. Worth every penny."
"After interviewing four contractors for our kitchen remodel, CMK was the only one who actually walked us through their showroom and let us touch real materials. The PM, Nick, ran the whole project on schedule. Couldn't recommend them more."
