I would honestly probably take that, but I highly doubt we live in the same area. I'd also practice on my own kitchen first, just to make sure I don't screw yours up.
Contractors charge a ton these days and it makes no sense to me. I'd hire out the countertops (one drop and I'm out $3k), but the rest would probably take 2 full days of work, plus maybe one or two partial days on either end for planning and cleanup/touchups. With less than half of that being parts (I think $7k is a decent high estimate), that would probably be like $300/hr, a little less if I rent tools instead of buying them.
I think contractors charge so much because work can be hit and miss, but if it's a side hustle, there's no reason to charge so much.
