Help: Rehab contractor quote in Indianapolis Reasonable?

Hi dear BP family

I have a newer 2006 house under contract and need some cosmetic rehab (Indy). This is a mid level 4bd home about 1990 sqft. We are projecting a 1250 to 1300 per month rent. Here's the first quote I got:

Upstair bedroom and staris New Carpet Throughout, about 1100 sqft, -- $1,860

Paint Walls tan color and trim and doors white, light drywall work included -- $3,520

Laminate flooring throughout kitchen, living, dinning. About 800 sqft, -- $4,845

Power wash home with a bacteria killing agent -- $350

Looks like some of the quotes are higher than California. Is this rate reasonable? Would you suggest get another quote from a different contractor? Any recommendations? Thanks!

I always like to get at least two quotes, but preferably 3 when I am working with contractors in a new area.  It's amazing how different they can be!
