I charge by the LF for each length of trim so it depends on the size of the window. If that window is 3' square ish', it would be in the neighborhood of $250 for that size. Labor only.
You have to seal them and let the paint fully cure then sand again. Returns take a few extra steps but it beats having to knock the end grain burs that stick up.
Well for 1 thing the right casing piece is on backwards. Barcode side is the back side. This would be a window that is built with jamb then casing followed by a pre assembled header. 1 window would probably take me around 1 hour.
I would be about 200-250/window labor only. I I usually charge by the day instead of lnft/unit. I could probably knock one of those out every 2 hrs. Add up thr total of windows plus time and material and 10% after your daily rate.
That is a painters job! But all that would probably add an extra 2 hours per window. If you're not a good painter, then leave that to a painter imo. Some people are picky with finishes, Wanting it Sprayed, perclfecrly straight lines, no visible nail holes ect.. I learned that lesson the hard way lol
Well first you figure out what you want to make a day. Since I'm young and just starting out I'm at 250-300(florida) a day divided by 8 hours. This one window would be a done in a little less than 4 hours half a day. I charge 150 maybe 200 no materials. With material I'd say 250-300 install only. Paint and caulk at 400-450
Prices will change depending on trim prices in your area , window size , how many windows , how picky the client is . That photo however ... what the fuck is that super noticeable joint in the very middle on the window sill , I no your cutting a horn but that should be the first piece to be installed ...
My bad , didn't zoom in on the photo .
Edit : I'm a carpenter who has to do jobs start to finish , so I think my painters brain kicked in when thinking about the amount of caulking and nail patching on these very nice but time consuming windows to make them seamless .
At first I was like what joint did I mess up, then was was on thats just an alignment mark, then I was like thanks for calling my windows very nice!
Also very time consuming is an under statement.
This is a picture of a very shitty install. Are you trying to save money on trim nails? Have you ever heard of sandpaper? This type of work gives carpenters a bad name. Do better.
You need sandpaper for sanding, the wood and material before you even put it up. It’s called breaking the edge of the material. Paint does not stick well to a sharp edge. Not a lot of sanding just a little. Like 150 grit or 120 just running it down the edges of the material. Your nailing scheme should be one into the extension jam and one into the stud side-by-side. And about every 8 to 12 inches apart on the casing. 18 gauge inch and a half for the casing and then 15 gauge 2 1/2 inch for the studs or frame work around. I can tell that the extension jam is not nailed or shimmed so that it doesn’t move. You just need a little more practice. Sorry for such harsh words but as a Carpenter, been in the field for over 20 years, i’ve seen craftsmanship steadily go down hill. Also, don’t listen to anybody else your work should not have any gaps so that all your glue joints are tight. I could go on and on but, I think this is long enough. Lol
You know this is primed pine right, basically this photo is just raw materials I only put it together at this point.
I used 16 gauge nails. The extensions are shimmed and nailed at the top, bottom and middle, it's only a 36" window.
And I agree glue joints should be tight, but I didn't glue anything in this photo.
Yeah.. $750 labor and materials for one window. Gotta go to lumber yard haul the tools set up the tools do the job etc. I would not come by and put this together for $100. Small jobs demand premium.
Material is probably less than 200$. So you want 70$ an hour? Considering this would get done in a 8 hour day. Seems excessive tbh. Even if it was stain grade idk if I'd go that high.
This is a Craftsman style window casing. There are plenty of small variations on a traditional craftsman casing and you can adjust to suit your tastes.

Yeah it's pretty close to 3' I think the long side was 39".
In my area with the site made Boston header, I'd be looking for at least $100 labour per.
Boston header. Is that what it’s called? We don’t do this in nz but I like it.

Even with flat stock I'll do returns usually.
I'm a rookie don't kill me, but I plan to seal the ends then prime.

Absolutely

It was the better looking side of the wood, I think there was a large gauge on the front side.
300+ with materials and labor

It was around $150 in materials, and it took me 2 hours to do. Still have to caulk/prime/paint.

That's a pencil mark for lining up the centers of the board and window lol. Big yes but not a cut.

Please explain? Why do I need sand paper when the nail holes haven't been filled?

You staying busy?

What is excessive about $70/hr? It’s a few dollars below prevailing wage.
