The neighbor is elderly and I am taking this as a project . This cannot be done in one day. She bought the materials I just have to clean strip and paint and make it look as new as possible. The furniture is like 50 yrs old so it means alot to her. Does 200.00 sound like too much?

I've called around and they would charge her more than 300.00

You already have quotes from professionals and I assume you aren't a master furniture restorer. You can reasonably assume this project won't take very long from start to finish so you can charge her a rate of your choice since she already has the materials needed for the project. Keep in mind that this elderly neighbor probably lives on a fixed income. You might want to consider charging a decent amount so as not to break her bank.

Figure up the amount of time it will take, then apply the amount per hour you're willing to work for. $200 doesn't sound like too much to me, but that's just me.
