Is $7,145 to perform various electrical upgrades and repairs a fair price?

Project Details

I recently had an electrician do some work at my place, and I’m wondering if the price I paid was fair or if I got overcharged. I’m still new to homeownership, so I don’t have much to compare it to. At the time, I just paid it because I wasn’t sure what to expect—but now I’m second-guessing. Was that a reasonable rate? Also, is there any good way to check if contractor quotes are fair? Like a tool or resource that breaks down average costs line-by-line? Just trying to learn for next time. The house didn't have any drywall at the time, just open walls. The work took probably 4 hours with 1 other guy helping.
