That is primed MDF stock plus the calculator's default 16 crew hours, which you set, at the $29.12 median carpenter wage.

The openings that come back off it are what everyone gets wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Each door and cased opening is worth about <strong>3 ft<\/strong>, and that figure is built, not guessed. A 2\/6 door slab is 30 in wide. Two jamb legs at 11\/16 in add 1-3\/8 in. Two colonial casings at 2-1\/4 in add 4-1\/2 in. Call it 36.<\/p>\n<p>Closets get base inside.

They lose it on the corners and the finish.<\/p>\n<p>Inside corners get coped, because a coped joint holds when framing moves and a miter opens up. Outside corners want a test cut, since no wall is a true 90. Old floors slope, so long runs get scribed.<\/p>\n<p>Fill the holes, caulk every joint, sand, prime the cut ends, paint. On a repaint, add pulling the old base and patching what comes off with it.<\/p>\n<h2>What the labor side pays<\/h2>\n<p>Carpenters posted a May 2025 national median of $29.12 an hour and a mean of $31.55.
