Any input will be appreciated.

Probably in the range of $100-$175, depending on workmanship quality of upholstery shop and whether they remove/install headliner or you do. In my case, I had the headliner recovered last year after putting up with the sagging for about 18 months. Shop I used is probably the best shop in my area (all the custom street rodders use his upholstery service) and he only recovered the headliner. Wife & I removed it and then re-installed it. Tedious but straightforward. Cost me $150.

If you DIY, maybe $50 in materials, depending on quality of new covering. Biggest effort is getting the old adhesive completely removed from support backing.
