Seems legit to me. Pretty much any kitchen reno is hard to keep under $10k. It adds up soo fast
Assuming you get a contractor to do it for you, and most self-respecting contractors should refuse to do this job.
I'm in the middle of building new cabinets for my kitchen and I was freaking out over what the wood I'm using costs (about $25 for each 8'x1' plank) until I priced even the shittiest prebuilt cabinets at Lowe's. Holy fuck those things are expensive, and they're just shitty pressboard.
What kind of wood are you buying that's $25 for 8'x1'? There are hardwood options in the $1.5/foot range, so you must be getting something kind of fancy.
