Is this Estimate to High?

So we are slowly stepping away from renovating the properties ourselves. I must say that I am enjoying managing the reno much more than I did swinging the hammer. I know that this is largely based on Area. I Wanted to know if someone could look at this estimate and tell me if it fair?

The first contractor that quoted me has renovated one of my other properties before and he has been fast and does good work. He does quote me in one lump and doesn't like to itemize the estimates(Which I hate).

Frame 2 small Door way headers in hallway and drywall area.
Patch 2  4x5 holes in living room ceiling with drywall
Frame 3 x 8 closet in master bedroom and drywall
Trim whole house with baseboard(1300 sft House)
Install 6 interior doors
Install 2 Ext Doors
Install Ext french doors in basement
Install 16 can lights throughout Living room, Kitchen and Hallway including running electricity to cans.
Install Cabinets for kitchen (approx. 12 cabinets uppers and lowers)
Install 1300 sqft of LVP flooring

Quote- He is quoting $12,000 Labor and $9,000 Material. He prefers me to pay him $600.00/day(2-3 man crew). He says he will most likely be able to finish in 4 weeks(12000) and will probably even finish before this so it may be less.

This is in Pittsburgh Pa
The Quote above including all Labor and Material Except the purchase of the cabinets.
