Cost of front porch roof addition

HU-358628242
last year

We are looking to add a roof structure over our front porch. It will be a shed roof, 32' x 10' and will have a wood ceiling with electrical for lighting as well as a faux gable. I have listed the specs below on our contractor bid. We are located in southern Ohio and I am just curious if the estimate of $50,000 for this is excessive? I understand there are a lot of variables associated with estimates, but I am more so interested in the opinion of individuals that bid on similar jobs, and if this price is competitive with what you might offer?


Thanks in advance for any help!
