That seems too high to me. Definitely phone around and try and get another quote or two. Unfortunately, it is a fact that demand is incredibly high right now and some contractors can ask for anything and get it too at times. I'm in the construction industry and our labour rates have skyrocketed in the past two years. I always inform customers that they should get at least one more quote but, quite often, my company will be the only one that actually even returns their call. Such is the industry situation right now.
Try and get another quote though.
Good luck.
