Ignore the dickheads. if painting them id charge 900 just bc id want to make 300$ a day. Would be hard pressed to get someone to build that for less than 1k with better materials. Bring on the downvotes you snotty losers. Also not bad for just throwing some stuff up most people cant even visualize much less produce decent work.

Time and material is may favorite way to charge for projects I can accurately bid. Keeps me from losing money and keeps the client from going wild with change orders. Just keep track of how long each step takes so you can bid it accurately next time.

Are you on a boat by chance?

My mentor had a joke about how to charge customers for jobs like this: while talking with them, keep increasing the pricing until they start to blink a lot. When they start blinking it’s a tell that it’s above their range, so dip back down below that and that’s your number. But seriously, determine how many hours are reasonable for the project, apply your hourly you want to be hired at, and add materials. When bidding the next jobs, you’ll know if you’re too high or too low. Too low and you’ll be busy non-stop while not seeing the bank account go up; too high and you’ll be jobless and not working. Pricing jobs out is trial and error unfortunately, and after more and more estimates you can find the sweet spot
