For Kitchen & Bathroom Renovations
Stewards of the design-build experience.
Our designs may be fresh & timeless, but
our approach to client service is “old school.”
CKD Remodeling is a design-build firm that believes in long-term relationships, showing up on time, doing what we say we’re going to do, and providing the highest standard of service possible.
We specialize in kitchen renovations, bathroom remodels, and other large construction projects — but our clients love us most for our transparency, clear communication, and respect for their time and investment.
With us, you get a team committed to you and your home’s success.
President & Florida Certified Residential Contractor
Steve is CKD’s founder and Certified Residential Contractor (CRC) in Florida. His early career started with his family’s business, Creative Kitchen Designs in Woodstock, GA, which included a design showroom and on-site cabinet manufacturing facility. After receiving requests for full-service renovations, Steve received his general contractor’s license and founded CKD Remodeling in 1986.
Though originally headquartered in Atlanta, CKD Remodeling saw 35 years of success before relocating to the Milton, Florida area in 2021. Steve received his CRC license in Florida and has since renovated bathrooms, kitchens, and whole homes throughout the Pensacola area.
When he is not on the job site, Steve can be found cooking something delicious (he’s a former professional), spending time with his wife and rescue dogs, or out on the water.
