How did you arrive at this price?
I only ask because most hardwood installers don't charge the "square footage" price for the stairs. My guy charges $4 per square foot for flooring and $150 per tread for stairs. This does not include removal of previous flooring, excessive floor prep (removal of many staples, glue, drywall mud, taking out un-eveness), or undercutting the door jams.
Another note, you should include +10% in your flooring order for waste.
If your husband is a carpenter, he could easily do this job. I would say the only tool he is likely missing is the flooring stapler. The Bostitch one is the "gold standard" and is $350, but there are a variety of fine knock offs that can be had for $100-$150 that will work just fine. You should also check your local Craigslist, as this is a common tool to purchase, use once, and immediately resell.
