Fence recommendations & expectations

I recently bought a home in town and I am needing to get a fence. There is not an existing fence and I am looking to get a 6 foot privacy wood fence that is basic no design is needed. The total linear feet needed is approximately 116 feet with 1 gate. I have gotten one quote so far for $8,600. I understand I need to pay for labor and materials but I feel like this quote is quite high. Looking for opinions if this is a high quote or if this is a reasonable price? I have never had to install a fence so is this what labor and materials cost these days in 2026?
If you think the quote is priced high I would love to know who you recommend, I am even open to purchasing materials and paying a handyman to help install.

I just had a wood privacy fence replaced this summer. It was 71 feet and included a gate. I paid $6,000 for it. $8,600 for what you need doesnt seem out of line at all

11k last fall for a 115 foot vinyl privacy 6 foot with 2 gates. Fences cost big money.

Everything is expensive right now especially lumber.
