So my contractor charges 10%. So for this project it would have 5K for the contractor fee or less.

Not the PP but with the information given, how can you possibly say if this is crazy or not? You have no idea the variables.

What’s your actual net worth may I ask?

I’m curious at what NW and college tuition situation you feel comfortable spending $100K on a kitchen reno.

This isn't going to be management fee... a significant chunk of this is pretty clearly going to be disbursed to labor, materials and + dumpster, permits, overhead, etc. There's a lot not listed in OPs breakdown that would be wrapped into the contractor's cost burden - labor like demolition, cabinet installation, drywaller, carpenter-rough, carpenter-finish, painter etc.,. Then materials could potentially including lumber, plywood, durock, tile, floor patching, window + trim, crown molding, etc). Everything adds up as quickly.

The electrical was an absolute chore…we had to have literally everything redone and I had three quotes and they were all about the same..within $750. We gutted to the studs, completely redid the layout and the contractor includes the hardwood floors and painting adjacent rooms.

That contractor and electrician bill, OMG! They sure danced out happy with those figures.

Yes, demo, dumpster, drywall, trim, permits, hardwood floors, all finish work. He did a ton and was not expensive given the to the studs nature.

We're still living with our steel cabinet / vinyl floor kitchen 20 years after moving in. The floor and cabinets and appliances are all shot and we figure we can't get it all done for less than $30k. Still don't have it!

We used cash for a $150K renovation

We are also using cash for a $125k kitchen renovation. We saved it over the years knowing we wanted to replace/re-do our kitchen. I keep telling myself that it is cheaper than moving . . .
