JADQQ: Just Another Deck Quote Question

Emergency wheelchair ramp and stoop, a neighbor had just broken their leg and was still in hospital, needed something built before they returned home. Handyman built in 4 days, started the day after initial call. Last week of August in Central Texas heat. Solo build. Stoop was raised to meet door threshold, 30' ramp with a 30" tall stoop. Reused stoop ballesters but everything else is pressure treated pine with decking screws.

Handyman quoted $1150 for materials and $1150 for labor. No groundwork, built as a temporary ramp. Client is not happy with that price after the work has been completed. Who got screwed?
