For a kitchen that needs new sink, new range, new fridge, new white shaker cabinets, new granite countertops, new tile backsplash you are looking at 12k+For LVP it is maybe 1.25/sqft and then figure another 1k - 2k for installation.I learned first by calling and asking. 

at a bare minimum, new paint and carpet/plank everywhere and changing out all the cabinet hardware, electrical covers, fresh light fixtures, etc. will make things look fresh and clean.

Framing, drywall, tile, installation of cabinets, etc. 

I find that interior designers make the best "contractors" versus a full blown builder.They value engineer better with paint and flooring, and perhaps some cabinets.
