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.

During this whole time I mucked around in tiny crawl spaces with mouse crap and snakes, cleaned sewage off of myself more than once, made at least two emergency room visits (one for drilling a hole straight through my hand installing cabinet knobs), sweated my *** off in attics in the summer.

At first they didn't understand, but I took the bat and took a full swing at a cabinet.

Also lots of small things filter & smoke detector batteries need changed, hardware is missing from one cabinet.

We are on the fence of either replacing my kitchen cabinets, or just painting them.

All new flooring, cabinets, countertops, complete bathroom makeovers, light and water fixtures and so much more!
