"Full remodel of our West Park Village townhome kitchen. CMK handled the Westchase Community Association approval for the exterior window change, kept the job site spotless, and finished on the day they promised. They opened up the wall to the dining area and the whole town-home feels twice as big now."
Designed Around the Way Westchase Families Live
Westchase was built largely between 1991 and 2005, and the kitchen is where everyone in the family lands. The trouble is that most of these homes still have the layout and finishes the builder put in. Closed-off kitchens behind walls, builder-grade cabinets and laminate counters, and floor plans that wall the cook off from the living and dining rooms. West Park Village townhomes, Stonebridge and Woodbridge villas, and the single-family homes around the Westchase Golf Club all share that same dated starting point.
CMK Construction has been remodeling Westchase kitchens for over two decades. We know how to open up a 1990s-2000s builder floor plan, where the load-bearing walls run, how to trade builder-grade finishes for high-end custom cabinetry and quartz, and how to clear a Westchase Community Association approval and a Hillsborough County permit without you lifting a finger. Open-concept conversions are the project we are asked for most, and we have done hundreds of them.

Built for Westchase Homes, Not Generic Remodels.
A kitchen in a West Park Village neo-traditional townhome is a different job than a kitchen in a maintenance-free Stonebridge villa or a single-family home on the Harbor Links golf course. What they have in common is when they were built: largely between 1991 and 2005, with builder-grade cabinets, laminate counters, and the closed-off floor plans that were standard at the time.
The layouts share one problem: they wall the kitchen off from the rest of the home. Builder-grade galley kitchens behind a half-wall. Cooks cut off from the great room. Thin stock cabinets and no real island. None of it matches how people in Westchase actually live now, which is casually, with the whole family in one open space, and usually with company.
We've solved every one of these, hundreds of times. Load-bearing walls removed with engineered beams and Hillsborough County permits. Westchase Community Association approvals handled for you whenever the work touches the exterior. Builder-grade finishes traded for high-end custom cabinetry and quartz. That's what two decades of Tampa Bay kitchens teaches you.

400+ Verified Reviews. 4.8 Stars.
Real reviews from Westchase kitchen remodel clients across West Park Village, Stonebridge, Berkeley Square, Harbor Links, The Vineyards, and Keswick Forest.
"Our Stonebridge villa still had the original builder-grade kitchen from the late 1990s. CMK removed the half-wall to the great room with an engineered beam, added a quartz island, and our project manager Barry walked us through every step. As a maintenance-free villa owner I appreciated how clean they kept everything."
"We replaced the original builder-grade kitchen in our Berkeley Square home with custom cabinets, a quartz island, and new lighting. Picking everything at the Tampa showroom in person made the decisions easy. On schedule, on budget, and the install crew was meticulous."
"Our Harbor Links home backs right up to the golf course and we wanted a kitchen worthy of the view. CMK reconfigured the whole layout, added a big window over the sink, and chose finishes that feel high-end without being flashy. Several neighbors have already asked who did the work."
"The Vineyards home, complete kitchen remodel. CMK steered us away from the low-grade builder finishes the house came with and toward high-end materials that will last. The quartz island and new open layout completely changed how we entertain."
"Open-concept conversion in our Keswick Forest home. Daily updates from the project manager, a clean job site every evening, and the schedule they promised is the schedule they kept. We've already recommended CMK to two neighbors."
Smart Questions for Your Westchase Kitchen Remodel Estimate
Estimates are where good and bad contractors look the most alike. These are the questions that separate them, worth asking any Westchase company before signing a contract, not just CMK.
-
Are you licensed and insured in Florida?
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. -
Do you pull all permits, or do I?
Why it matters: Homeowner-pulled permits make you personally liable for code compliance, not the contractor.
Good answer: The contractor pulls every Hillsborough County permit, handles Westchase Community Association paperwork where it applies, and schedules every inspection at no extra charge. -
Who manages my project day-to-day?
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. -
What's your warranty, and what does it cover?
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. -
Can I see your showroom and pick materials in person?
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. -
What's your project timeline, and how do you handle delays?
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.
