Electrician work cost reasonable in your opinion?

I wanted to check up on the bill I received from my electrician today. The work included a fault find for an open neutral inside (bulbs kept blowing out in a fixture). He found neutral wires not connected in a wall switch and fixed it. An outlet outside also stopped working, and he found the wires leading between two exterior outlets were damaged. He pulled the damaged wire leading between the two outlets and replaced it with new wire (about a 25 foot run). Problem fixed. He then removed an old, malfunctioning porch light and installed a new motion light on our porch. The final bill was $1,000 and he was here for about 5 hours. Is this reasonable for the work done and time spent?
