You should be able to take your measurements to the SuperMegaHomeStore and at least look at the displays and play with the design software and get a rough estimate.
I did this once. You pick your cabinets and surfaces, and they build them and you pick up the parts and put them together. Hanging the cabinets does involve some skills and presents some issues (tiny errors build into big problems at the other end of the wall). But lots of home improvements shows tell you just how to do it. Just buy a few videos. Good excuse for a new nail gun.
You'll want an electrician and a plumber to do the hookups. Lots of places require it.
Probably wouldn't need to get a contractor, unless you are doing something completely custom and fancy. Might want to talk to an architect or an interior designer before you decide on some major changes.
