Got quoted for moving a washer/dryer set upstairs

Haven't had any major work done in a while, so not sure if this quote is a bit outrageous or not.
We have a full size stacked washer/dryer downstairs that we talked about moving upstairs.
Upstairs, we have a 1/4 bath adjacent to a full bath. The 1/4 bath never gets used. We never go in there, so I was thinking we could move the washer/dryer in there and turn the existing space into something else.
That 1/4 bath already has a hot and cold line/drain. It would need a 220 run and also a vent run to the outside. The room is connected to the exterior which would make running a vent pretty simple.
Also, we would replace the doors with larger, standard doors. It has smaller doors right now.
So the work is really a little interior plumbing, running a 220 line, running an exhaust vent, and replacing a interior door.
We got a quote back.
$23,000
I was a bit taken back. Sounds a bit high. Not much material to buy and the work could be done in 2-3 days.

A drywall patch takes at least 2 days because the drywall compound has to dry before painting. Making bigger door openings is going to involve two rooms with drywall, paint, framing, finish trim, and flooring. 23K sounds high but you're underestimating the job scope.

That’s ridiculously high. There’s more work than you think but nowhere near that amount. In my opinion.

Wow
We are currently remodeling a master bath which involves moving the washer and dryer as we are stealing the spot where they were. Tearing down two walls, building one new one. Everything down to the studs and rebuilding. Clawfoot tub and curbless shower. Relocating all plumbing. Marble tile and counters.
About 3x the cost you were quoted, which I thought was high based on the cost of our 2019 remodel. You have made me feel better about what I am paying.
Honestly, you should be closer to $5000 than $23000.

I would advise getting separate quotes.
Get a quote for electrical, get a quote for plumbing, get a quote from a handyman for drywall/door work.
I bet you the quotes are much much less, more work on your part.

I don't suppose it would be easier to run a gas line for the dryer instead of 220V electric...if you have gas close you could swap out for a gas dryer. I'd be looking for just about any other solution before spending that to move a washer and dryer. Yeesh.
