I have a sliding glass door that's not working properly, and I recently got a bid from a contractor for $6,700 to replace it. I live in California, and the door is a 9ft Anlin slider, which seems like a quality option. I'm curious if this price is in line with current market rates, considering it includes permits, taxes, labor, and hauling away the old door. Is this quote reasonable or just plain outrageous?

Honestly, $6,700 doesn't seem insane for a quality slider and all the extra services included. Just to give you a perspective, I had some extensive work done recently that ended up costing me $8,400, so costs can really add up.
It seems like a bit much to me, but the materials play a big role in the overall quote. You mentioned that the $6,700 covers everything, so if it’s all-inclusive, it might be worth it once you check other quotes.
Before you go basing your decision on just one quote, I'd suggest getting a few more estimates to compare. It’s hard to gauge if this is a good deal without knowing what other contractors are charging in your area.
