Understand the collateral support while the work is being done. Do
you feel $2000 is a reasonable price. Have a deadline and having
difficult time getting other contractors to respond. thanks

The price depends on where you live and the competitive environment. If
you have only gotten one response and the contractor is qualified
(licensed, etc.) then I would say $2000 is cheap, considering you want
to move the header and don't have any alternatives.
