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)

It's just going to rot more. The rot needs to be cut out completely, and replaced with new (pressure treated) wood. Not just some putty and paint.
