Fortunately, I have an uncle and his sons who remodel houses for a living. Some of the jobs he has done for me have been at cost, but he did charge me some labor on the kitchen update I did a few years back.
New oak cabinets, and I added a whole nother wall of cabinets that I didn't have before. He had a great supplier for the cabinets, so the price tag was only $1000. I priced a big box store on cabinet refacing, and the quote was easily over what I paid for new cabinets.
New laminate counter tops, tiled back splash, stainless sink, new faucet, new exhaust hood for the stove, new laminate flooring. The appliances were only a few years old or less, so they didn't get replaced.
Total cost with the new cabinets was under $4k, including labor.
I don't think I would do laminate flooring in the kitchen again, because of the fact that liquids spilled will seep into the seams and bubble the edges, but it is easy to clean. The floor was only $400 installed, so I can't complain about that.
