Handyman is asking $500 to sand and fill the rot with putty, caulk and paint the door. Is that a fair ask? (NC) (album with multiple photos) (imgur.com)

$500 is the "I really don't want to do it" price.

I personally quote 5-10x the price of I don't want to do it.

No one is going to show up to your house for $100 or less. No matter the job, just not worth the time.
