I see 2 things that are bugging me
you need 5 pipe diameters from pump to offset
to negate turbulence at the impeller
and you need vibration isolation [flex connectors] on the connections
the vibration of that motor will start the pvc to leak

actually no just need a price comparison on the work additionally this is pool plumbing
Ah ok I see now you replaced all your ball valves with Jandy never-lubes. Valves alone are $50 or so each. Plumbing for them looks easy just cut up a bit of cement. Materials $300 max. Maybe 1 hour of time. I'd say should be no more than $500. Depending on the market could have been up to $1000. Small job so many would charge more than it is worth to make it worth their time to come out.

work consisted of 2 inche of concrete removal coupler new pipe the jandy valves not including the pump.I think I missed where it mentions what the work consisted of.
The new work is exemplary in its execution. Potentially took some careful time to chip away at the concrete to expose enough pipe.
I personally would prefer unions over couplings so close to the slab.
Unless the drive time is a factor, anything over $1,000. would be fair.
