Is this bid too high?

Hello BP,

I just acquired an approx. 1400 sq foot single family that needs some work on the subfloor in one of the bathrooms. I’ve gotten one bid thus far, with more to come. I’d like your opinion on whether or not this bid is too high.

I realize it may be somewhat difficult to determine without seeing the property.

The full hallway/guest bath needs some sub flooring repaired/replaced with no damage to the joists underneath, and new sheet vinyl laid down. The bid is for this, replacing the vinyl in the master bath, and for replacing both toilets and wax rings. Whoever does the repair will likely have to move the bathtub then reinstall it after the repair is done. Total amount is $2,950 and the property is in North Carolina. Both the master and hall bath are of average size for a 1400 sq ft house.

The same contractor gave me an outlandishly high bid for repairing the deck at the same property, and I’m not sure how labor intensive subfloor repairs are. Hence, I’m seeking advice from you all.

Thank you very much in advance!
