Is $3,800 to repair termite damage and structural issues a fair price?

Project Details

I have a 1950s bungalow and discovered serious termite damage under the roof sheathing after finding loose roof tiles. I had saved $1,500 for new gutters, which is now being diverted to these emergency repairs, likely delaying the gutter project. I'm handling attic insulation and window trim replacement myself to cut costs. I'm considering financing the roof and treatment but want to avoid added interest.

Quote Details

This quote addresses significant termite damage and structural issues found in the attic. - Structural Repair: Installation of a structural sister beam under a section of the ceiling. - Termite Treatment: Comprehensive full treatment for termites. - Payment Terms: An upfront payment of $1,200 is required to secure materials and cover tenting costs.
