modify ductwork for exposed ceiling

Is $1,000 to modify ductwork for exposed ceiling a fair price?

Project Details

I am opening a small bakery and want to remove the drop ceiling to expose ductwork in the lobby area. I'm considering doing this project myself to save money as I'm a small business owner trying to DIY as much as possible, but I'm not an HVAC person and need advice.

Quote Details

The HVAC guy quoted $1,000 for the following work: - Remove ductwork attached to the ceiling. - Install a vent on the end of the square ductwork.

Thank you for your feedback!
