First do your homework…You should not even think about hiring anyone until you know : What exact cabinets youwant,what sink you want,counter tops,faucets…..appliances, Etc warming drawers to keep food warm, wine fridge,microwave drawer,……….If you know nothing of the above spend some money on a “kitchen designer”. A designer would be a good start and they should be able to give you a “ballpark ” figure on how much project would cost. Next get estimates from local builder or remodeler. “GET REFRENCES” Check if they have INSURANCE.!!!!!!!Good luck

State contractor license board is a good place to start.
