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)

Get a quote to replace the entire door and frame, it's probably cheaper.

I bought a "cheap" prehung exterior door recently it was like $300 I think. There's absolutely no way it would be cheaper to just replace the whole door. Especially if you want a decent looking door.
