Estimated cost to replace 5 faulty GFCI outlets (midwest)

Can I get advice on what the estimated cost to replace 5 faulty GFCI outlets would be (by a licensed electrician).  I'm outside Chicago.  Researching for a client to make sure she doesn't get taken advantage of.  thanks in advance.

    @Julianne Croegaert

    In J Scott's book "The Book on Estimating Rehab Costs", he says that upgrading an outlet to GFCI costs $30-$50 per outlet. On top of this, an electrician will likely charge a $60-$100 service fee for coming to your property.

    Of course you should verify these numbers with an electrician, but these estimates should be pretty close!

    @Julianne Croegaert

    I highly recommend it! He goes through literally every step of a rehab and provides this info:

    1. overview of that system in a house
    2. tips for inspecting that system
    3. tasks to fix problems for that system
    4. costs associated with those tasks
