"CMK just finished a major remodel of my kitchen. A wall was taken down, the ceiling was raised, and cabinets and an island were installed. It is beautiful! I worked with Annie to design the kitchen of my dreams and Carlos was the project manager."

Tampa Kitchen Remodeling FAQ
Kitchen remodel costs in Tampa vary by scope and materials. A cosmetic update with cabinet refacing, new countertops, and backsplash typically runs $25,000 to $45,000. A mid-range renovation with new custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and layout changes runs $45,000 to $75,000. A full custom kitchen with structural wall removal, fully custom cabinetry, and a waterfall-edge island starts at $75,000 and can exceed $150,000. Every CMK estimate includes labor, materials, permits, daily project management, and our one-year Peace of Mind Warranty.
A realistic budget for a quality Tampa kitchen remodel generally starts around $25,000 for cosmetic updates and $45,000 or more for a full custom renovation. A common guideline is to budget 10 to 15 percent of your home's value for a major kitchen renovation. We provide a detailed, fixed proposal during the design phase, so you know your full investment before any work begins.
The 30% rule is a guideline suggesting homeowners avoid spending more than about 30 percent of their home's total value on any single renovation, to protect resale value. For a kitchen specifically, many designers suggest keeping the remodel between 10 and 15 percent of the home's value. These are guidelines, not hard limits. Your CMK designer can help you plan a remodel that fits both your goals and a sound investment range for your neighborhood.
A $10,000 budget can cover minor refreshes like painting cabinets, swapping hardware, or replacing a faucet and light fixtures, but it is below the range for a full custom kitchen remodel with new cabinetry, stone countertops, and professional installation. CMK focuses on high-quality custom remodels, with most full kitchen projects starting around $25,000. We are happy to discuss the most cost-effective approach for your goals during a free consultation.
A typical kitchen remodel with CMK takes 6 to 10 weeks depending on scope. Full gut renovations involving layout changes, new plumbing, and electrical work may take 10 to 14 weeks. Your dedicated project manager provides a detailed timeline during the design phase and keeps you updated daily throughout construction.
Yes. Most kitchen remodels in Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco counties require permits, especially when plumbing, electrical, or structural changes are involved. CMK is among the highest-volume residential remodeling permit holders in Tampa Bay and handles all permitting and inspections on your behalf as part of our full-service design-build process.
Refinishing (painting or staining existing cabinets) is the lowest-cost option and works when boxes are in good shape. Refacing replaces doors, drawer fronts, and veneer while keeping existing boxes, which is a good middle option. Full replacement gives you new layout, sizing, and storage, and is the right choice for dated or damaged cabinetry or when changing the kitchen footprint. Your CMK designer will recommend the best path for your kitchen and budget.
