Is $1,900 to patch and paint a ~3'x5' section of drywall a fair price?
Project Details
A plumber opened up a ~3’x5’ section of drywall in my living room to run new pipes. Now I need it patched and painted. The wall is drywall with plaster skimmed over it. I'm looking for honest feedback on the quote and whether it sounds about right for the scope and location.

The quote is for patching and painting a section of drywall that was opened up by a plumber. The wall is drywall with plaster skimmed over it. The work includes: - Removing damaged drywall and cleaning the area - Adding blocking to support the patch - Hanging new 5/8” drywall - Taping, 2–3 coats of mud, sanding smooth - Priming and painting to match (2 coats) - Some light cosmetic work elsewhere on the wall (filling nail holes, etc.) - Protecting the floor and cleanup afterward
