There are alot of different grades of the vinyl products. Some are quite cheap and flimsy.
If you compare to what you can get at Lowe's it may not be so bad -
At 44 linear feet, you are looking at 7 1/3 panels - well 8 panels. Each panel will have 2 posts, so 16 posts.
So breaking it down - Lowe's has 6' panels for $62 each. Post covers are $23 each. 4 x 4 pressure treated posts are $8 each and you'll need some quickcrete ($3 bag), post caps ($5) and assorted bolts & screws ($25).
So I calculate $1145 for just materials. A fencing company may get a better deal on materials if they buy direct. Alot of small contractors buy at the home centers just like you and me, but can get a 10% discount. Also, we are making a big assumption on the quality of the materials - there are lots of grades of vinyl, plus numberous ways of embellishing it.
So the rest is labor, profit and of course, skill. Approx $700.
I'd say it's reasonable if the quality of the materials is good, as well as the quality of the construction.
