Is this estimate too high to replace my roof?

Question

It has two layers on it right now so those will need taken off. I have a ranch style house. I had one estimate so far and I about fell off my horse. I think he said it was 40 square. The dollar amout he gave was 11,400. That included putting in a ridge vent and covering up old style vents. Any comments? Any rules of thumb to know about?
