I did something similar 25 years ago in a lightly insulated three car attached garage. The cost to install a 40,000 BTU vented natural gas ceiling furnace with 80 feet of gas line was about $1600 at that time. It was sized for a modest 40 degree heat rise over the outside temperature. Installation, chimney, and gas line was well over half the cost. Going to a larger unit would have required a larger diameter gas line. For me, adding more ceiling insulation was cheaper than upgrading to a larger furnace. The cold concrete floor still absorbed a lot of heat fast. Your $4000 quote sounds like it is in the ballpark.
Electric heat will generate 3.4 BTU per watt. A 5000 watt heater will only produce 17,000 BTU, a 7500 watt unit will produce 25,500 BTU.
