Don't forget  new insulation in the walls.   I see you are from NEIA.   Spray foam those walls since you are tearing out the drywall.   Is this an older 2 story home?   While yo've got the walls torn out  run some electrical wire for  new outlets upstairs.    Very thankful  my husband did that.   The bedroom above our kitchen had ZERO  outlets.   Now,  we can plug in a window air conditioner when relatives visit.  

We did the demolition  and  electrical on our kitchen.   Took it to the  studs,  tore out 3 layers of flooring,   new ceiling,   We did pay a carpenter to do the drywall, install cabinets,  do the back splash. 

Laminate  countertop,  vinyl flooring,  middle of road cabinets.   Not counting  appliances...  about  $18,000.  $4,000  was the carpenter labor.   Plus  we paid a plumber too.    Did this in 2015.
