Without knowing more specifics of the work performed: A "$21K bill just for interior painting" is on the high-side, especially without an estimate/contract.
I think most outsiders would agree. Geesh, some contractors could pull the walls, restud, redrywall, and repaint for that.

However, $3K in materials indicates that a signifigant amount of work was done.
High-end patterned moulding is difficult to install, and requires a signifigant amount of skill and experience to install. 45deg cuts with glue make an intricate room very time consuming.
The specifics and original condition of this situation are still unknown.

Hope the house was built with correct insulation, soffits, and vapor barriers so the homeowners don't have to do it all over again a year from now.
