I just completed a reno for some friends:

22 pine cabinets doors sanded down, knots replaced or repaired, sealed,
primed, 2 topcoats (60 hours)

Front and sides of all cabinets primed and 2 topcoats, some minor repair
(10
hours)

16 lineal feet of laminate countertop applied to edges and top with a
ceramic tile backsplash (12 hours)

2 exterior windows installed

I want to charge about 1/2 of the retail cost as these are friends - any
guesstimates?


You did that amount of work and you are asking what to charge to a
bunch of strangers on the internet?
You sir are a fool and an idiot.
You obviously have no contract with your "friends" and they obviously
have no idea what you intend to charge.
You may just find that when this is all said and done, your "friends"
may not be your friends anymore.
A case of beer and call it a day. Anything more and I think you will
find you are in for an interesting suprise.
Let us know how this one turns out.

I'll have to agree with Bubba,
How could you have done this work without first knowing what you were going
to charge your rriends. Did your friends have any approximate idea what you
might be charging? They might want to be your friends after you give them
the bill, even if it is half of what a tradesman would have charged.
