Thats an expensive quote, polycarbonate roofing is expensive and quite pointless for a dog house. You should just use a plywood roof. I recommend you go around home depots and check for the prices of the major items, you can cross check with the prices listed in the quotation. The contractors charge of 15% is quite low by typical industry standards (usual is 20-30% for materials and labor) but then he is probably going to make it up with expensive materials.

If you find cheaper materials, try to forge a deal wherein owner supplied materials are used but his mark up is increased, it will probably turn out cheaper.
