Is $4,195 to repair and upgrade fireplace components a fair price?

Project Details

I just texted to ask if they could just replace the rear panel, then paint them all to match. If that's okay, that would cut the cost in half for a repair. I've also asked about an electric replacement. I know that won't generate much heat, but my wife really just likes the look of a fire.

CSIA guidelines mandate replacement of cracked panels for safe operation and to prevent pyrolysis. - Left and Right Factory Panels Replacement: Replacement of all fireplace panels to achieve a universal and updated look, as original parts are no longer in service.
