Is $550 to remove a portion of an active gas pipe and cap it a fair price?

Project Details

Previous home owner had an aftermarket ventless fireplace, we got rid of that hideous thing but there's still an L shaped gas pipe sticking out of the drywall. The pipe is active and would need to cut around the dry wall to get at it. I am considering if I should DIY this or hire out a professional.

Repair a flue pipe that doesn't go through the roof

Repair the flue pipe for the indoor gas heating unit that was improperly installed. - Issue: Flue pipe was cut off and does not properly vent through the roof. - Current State: Only a half-inch gap connects to the outside. - Suspected Cause: Roofers likely cut the pipe and shingled over the hole during a previous roof replacement, placing the flue cap on top for cosmetic appearance. - Scope of Work: Correct the flue pipe installation to ensure proper venting through the roof.

Replace a gas line and find a leak

The quote is to replace a gas line and find a gas leak. The current 1/2 inch gas pipe will be replaced with a 3/4 inch pipe to meet village code. The pipe runs from the basement boiler room, up the wall of the first floor, and into the second-floor kitchen stove. It serves the 2nd-floor gas stove only.
