have them get two bids from pro’s. Then offer to do it for less than the least bid. Don’t get caught with no profit for your skill, cause in five years when they want you to come back and fix the cracks ” that you caused” you can do it. If it turns out they are really appreciative of what you did for them, offer to pay them for every new job they get for you. Or use the extra money to take them out to dinner, or buy them a gift for the apt.

i think that if you can get them to pay for the materials then you can charge about £5 per hour seen as its family. it will be alot cheaper than getting it done through the books. i am a trainee surveyor and can work it out for you if you want, materials and labour prices. the current rate for labour for a tradesman is about £23.85 per hour and finish is about £5 or £6 quid a bag white emulsion is about £16.50 per 10ltr and wood filler is about £10

Its family , the are pregnant too.

Give them equal time price I think.

Whatever both of them make together per hour. Plus materials. Your neice or nephew will be healthier cuz she doesn’t have to breath the fumes.

Yeah, whatever they both make per hour combined, painting is hard.

That’s a rather large apt….
So I’d say $1300.

I hate painting. This stinks for you.
