Is $1,900 to patch and paint a ~3'x5' section of drywall a fair price?
Project Details
I'm in Pasadena, CA and wanted to get some honest feedback on a quote from a general contractor. 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 asking if the quote sounds about right for this scope and location, or if I should be shopping around more. I appreciate any insight, especially from those who work in SoCal or know going rates around here.

This quote is for patching and painting a section of drywall that was opened 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
