Fence quote question

Once we can, we’d like to install 110 linear feet of 6ft tall cedar fence. I got a quote of ~$6,500 for material, labor, etc, from a large retailer before the Coronavirus slowed everything down. I’ll get more quotes when I can, but anyone have thoughts on this ballpark number? Any fence installers want to contact me about a quote? I’m not really interested in the look of composite so I’d prefer to not have that debate if possible. Thanks so much and I hope everyone is staying healthy and well.

We build and/or install custom and prefab fences … but $6.5 k is very cheap. It won’t be quality work ?‍♂️

$6,500 sounds like a great price, for real cedar fence.
A good ceder fence is worth the investment; insect proof, less easily rot. And smells wonderful in the rain!
But make sure it is real Cedar; when I did one a few years ago, many contractors just dismissed the word Cedar as if it was a generic term for wood!
