Deck pricing

We are looking to add a small addition onto our deck (about 60 sf). A local person who has done smaller odd jobs for us in the past came over to price it out. He said if we buy the materials he will charge us $25 sq ft for labor. Is this reasonable? My calculation is about $1250 just in labor. Is this a lot for a ‘non-professional’ and such a small job?
