Not "miserly" at all, but fair.
However, if you feel it's too low, and if he does an amazing job, throw in a bonus if it makes you feel better.

Call out another contractor. A lot of them will give free estimates. Get a free estimate.

I would think it being the holiday season would make that easier, too.
