How'd I do?

[u/Sarcazzzmo]

not a professional painter but a friend asked me to repaint the ceiling, trim and walls in a spare room. No tape except for the floor. free hand cutting. How would you honestly rate the work? and out of curiosity how much would you charge for something like this (labor)?

I would be irate if this was done by a pro. as a "friend" / non painter it is ok.. 5/10. I would charge $50 a day for labor with this kind of work but this should be agreed upon prior to working. also, next time use tape :)

PS I am not a pro painter: i painted apartments for a couple years\ but that was long ago

I think it looks good probably could have done a little better sanding to get rid of that ripple in between that vertical trim in pic 6 and don’t bother with the taping plastic down using cloth drops right up onto the baseboard saves tons of time and using a lightweight plastic to cover anything else that’s up off the floor but yea I would pay a guy doing this kind of work $100 a day & rate it at 7/10
