If the guy quoted you $1800, you should have to pay $1800. It’s not your fault it took longer than he thought it would. Missing by $1000 on an $1800 bid is a rip off.
That said, it might not be worth having a builder’s lien placed against your property for a $1000. I would try to negotiate a price that you can both live with.
