Is it normal for a plumber to put a wood board in place of an access panel?

He had to cut the drywall to gain access and put up a wooden board instead of an access panel. Is this normal practice for plumbers to do that?  I thought he would have installed an access panel instead of a wood board. He said it will look nice once I paint it to match the wall.

    It is not unusual.... probably more common than not.

    I would venture to say that about 80% of all accesses I see are a wood board.
