If I told you that the cost of refinishing my driveway was $2000, you would have no idea if that is a good price or a bad price. You have to know how many sq feet they did, if parts of the driveway needed repair, how much sharkbite they used, etc.
Same goes for painting your house, cleaning your house, all depends on sq ft, quality of product used, prep time, warranty, etc.
If you asked this same question about what you spent on your car/suv, even if it was for the exact same year, model, trim, your pice could be thousands of $$$ apart because of options.

I can think of a lot more than one item. Mike Scott Plumbing has fixed prices for a lot of items, including a disposal, expansion tank, water heater, replacing push-pull valves, and they will give you a phone quote for many other items and they will also quote you an hourly rate for other work. Also, what about installing a ceiling fan, light fixtures, and other electrical tasks. Replacing a roof on equal sized houses, or power washing a house, or painting the exterior of a courtyard villa. Most people want to know what these things cost, not that you got a "reasonable" price. That doesn't provide any useful information at all.
