$900? Wow. I've been doing this for 25 years now and charge $250 for a bound fretboard. I cannot imagine charging 900 for 3 hours work.
Most of the times on Gibsons we just take the nibs off. I have done vintage Gibsons where it was desired to keep them on. That will bump up the cost a lot but still not 900. Maybe 500.
For the prices they are charging in your area you could ship that to a good repair shop and have it done cheaper.
