Contractor quoted insurance $1800, insurance said no because they’ve already given us $11k for total repairs to the shower.

The current contractor was not the one who opened the ceiling. It was a mold remediation company who opened it and then told us closing it is not their responsibility.

When we told our contractor that our insurance company declined the proposal he dropped the quote by $800. $1k seems high to me to close up and repair the dry wall on the ceiling.

How much should this cost in a high cost of living area?

The original problem was our shower had a leak, ceiling was opened up to see where the leak was coming from.
