Seconded. What they are doing is totally egregious.
You could run fiber never mind Ethernet for what they are quoting you.
Here's a kit list of what I would buy if I was treating myself to a fancy home setup directly related to their list.
ABR4500 / Netgear AC1750 @ $110
OR
Replace the ABR4500 & XWS2510 with
Netgear Orbi AC Mesh system, currently $344.99 on Amazon.
At this point you may as well stick with the same brand so to replace the AGS1016 go for;
Netgear 16 port Gigabit POE managed switch, currently $159.99 on Amazon.
Replace AGS1008M with;
Netgear 8 port Gigabit POE Managed switch, currently $79.99.
Total cost = $584.97 vs $2229.92
You could upgrade all of that hardware to Ubiquiti for Small business grade hardware. Based on what you've said I'd find a local small business networking supplier and have them quote you a cost for the above inc installation and support. Their time should be the most expensive item on the list NOT the hardware.
Good luck!
Invest in a Mesh Network. Its more money upfront but worth it. See here or here

Quite a few threads out there, one suggest I change the settings on my iPhone to:
