We have an old semi-detached bungalow built in the 1950s with no updates in the kitchen. We want to do the following:

1. demolish/remove old counters (the kitchen has only 4 bottom cabinets and 3 top cabinets)

2. Put more electrical sockets in

3. Replace appliances (range/stove/oven, microwave, sink and dishwasher) except for fridge

4. Add dishwasher plumbing (plumbing stays the same for the sink)

5. Install new cabinets in same layout as before

6. Add a pantry cabinet

7. Add an island

8. New countertops/backsplash

9. We already have the flooring purchased from a while back, just need it installed

We got a quote of $80,000 not including appliances from the contractor we usually work with (Bob). Bob is not a bad guy and he does nice work, but this seems quite steep. We recently told Bob that we wanted him to renovate our basement, but my partner ended up deciding that he can do much of the work himself (he's quite good with this stuff). Unfortunately, with both of us working full-time jobs, we can't handle doing the kitchen as well. I wonder if Bob gave us this steep price because we told him we were going to borrow money to finance this renovation and because we told him we're no longer asking for him to do the basement.

My parents recently renovated their kitchen for way less than that with brand new everything and it looked great, but they live in another city in the GTA (peel region). In googling, I am seeing people say between $20,000- $40,000 and on the high-end $60,000 for Toronto; these numbers match what my parents paid for their kitchen.

This a semi-detached bungalow, with a fairly average-sized kitchen (I would even say it's smaller than average) and we're not looking to get our kitchen decked out in gold and diamonds. Is this quote unreasonable? Should we shop around for other quotes?
