Life in Clearwater happens around the water, and the kitchen is where everyone lands afterward. The trouble is that most Clearwater kitchens were never built for that. Condo galleys on Clearwater Beach and Sand Key, closed-off kitchens in 1950s Skycrest and Morningside block homes, and builder-grade layouts across Countryside all came from an era when the kitchen was hidden away.
CMK Construction has been remodeling Clearwater kitchens for over two decades. We know the slab plumbing inside mid-century block walls, the association approvals and construction windows that beach condo buildings require, the finishes that hold up to salt air, and the permit process at the City of Clearwater's Construction Services Division. Open-concept conversions are 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 Clearwater Beach or Sand Key condo tower is a completely different job than a kitchen in a 1950s Skycrest block ranch or a 1980s Countryside family home. The condos bring association approvals, certificate of insurance requirements, elevator reservations, and strict construction hours. The ranches hide slab plumbing and load-bearing block walls. The estates of Harbor Oaks add nearly a century of original construction to work around.
The layouts share one problem: they close the kitchen off from the rest of the home. Condo galleys sealed behind a wall. Ranch kitchens cut off from the Florida room. Builder-grade Countryside kitchens with thin cabinets and no island. None of them match how people in Clearwater 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 City of Clearwater permits. Building paperwork and construction windows 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 Clearwater kitchen remodel clients across Clearwater Beach, Island Estates, Skycrest, Countryside, Harbor Oaks, and Morningside.
"Full gut of our Clearwater Beach condo kitchen. CMK handled the building's approval paperwork, worked inside the allowed construction hours, and protected the hallways every single day. The board had nothing but compliments. The finished kitchen is brighter, more open, and worth every week of the wait."
"Our 1957 Skycrest block home had the original closed-off kitchen. CMK removed the wall to the living room with an engineered beam, rerouted the slab plumbing, and our project manager Barry walked us through every step. The house finally feels like one space instead of little rooms."
"We replaced the builder-grade kitchen in our Countryside 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 Harbor Oaks home is almost a hundred years old and we were nervous about anyone touching it. CMK designed cabinetry that looks like it was always here, updated the wiring and plumbing behind the walls, and treated the original details with real respect."
"Island Estates 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."
"Open-concept conversion in our Morningside 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."
Estimates are where good and bad contractors look the most alike. These are the questions that separate them, worth asking any Clearwater 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 Clearwater permit, handles condo association 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.
