Estimated cost for installing hardwood floor/carpet on flooded house

[Roy C.]

Hello BP,

This is probably irreverent now but I just want to hear your opinion. My family had a rental house a couple of years ago. This two story unit got flooded due to water pipe on 2nd floor leaking overnight. This place was a MESS in the morning. There was water everywhere. So we hired a contractor to get rid of carpet and install hardwood/carpet. He was estimated that it would cost him $21k to finish the task.  I was pretty shocked at the cost, and in the end my family hired another contractor to do the job.  

My question is does $21k to get rid of carpet and install hardwood sound reasonable to you? 

Here are more details: The house had two floors and it's about 2300 sq ft.
