Load bearing wall removal

[Frank Z.]

Hi, I’m in the Atlanta area and am having trouble finding a reliable contractor who can remove a load bearing wall. I have one estimate and i was hoping to get feedback as to whether or not it’s a good price. It’s an old house and the walls are plastered. There are 2 walls I’d like removed. One is 8 ft and not load bearing, the other is about 24 feet and load bearing. The estimate I got to remove the walls, take care of the electrical outlets and move the light switch on the wall, plus finish the ceiling to make it all look nice is for $4,400. This is not with a steal beam, just wood, and a column in the middle. Is that a good price? The contractor cane highly recommended, is nice enough, punctual, and seems very knowledgeable. I’m just new to construction and have no idea what something like this should cost. Thanks in advance!
