replace rotted spindles and railings, and repair a post

Is $6,800 to replace rotted spindles and railings, and repair a post a fair price?

Project Details

I'm hoping to get some advice on replacing these rotted spindles by my stairs. I reached out to some handymen and only got a response from one. He said that I have custom spindles on the stairs. The quote feels like a "don't want this job" kind of quote, and I also had to pay him around $90 for the quote.
