Just wondering about plug figures for cost of carpenter to base and case (MDF, I know some of you hate it, but it’s going to be painted), and install solid core prehung doors. I will do stairs, install cabinets, and everything else trim/finish might involve.
I’ve gotten to the point where I just want to do what I want to do, and I have never enjoyed moldings or doors. Can’t even think of one time. Not even with my new knee pads.
I’ve seen a price per sq foot a couple of years ago, but now I can’t find it.
What’s fair, and how is it most commonly quoted? Also be interested to hear what is expected of trim/finish in different areas of the country. Does anyone fill nails/gaps, or does the painter do that where you live too? I live in Quad Cities, Iowa.
Thanks in advance,
Bill
