I have a relative who is out of work. I thought I would help him with
some re-modeling work. He is an experienced home re-modeler and I don't
question his experience.
My question is what to pay? The work might include installing
re-placement windows, re-model some bathrooms, new siding, etc. The
prevailing base wage rate established by the state (North East) for a
journey carpenter is about $38/hr.
He has no place to live so would move in here and we would provide room
and board.
Any thoughts?
How about $38/hr?
None of the work needs to be done. How about he does it for nothing but I
provide him with a place to live?
I would ask him what he thinks is fair, since it does include room and
board. If he usually makes $38 per hour, and he's doing it for room and
board. I would say a couple of hours a day would cover the room and board in
fine style, and then you should pay him the rest of what you decide is a
fair price.
