$15/hr here cash for a good local guy. Did that 2 yrs ago on the exterior of my cabin at the lake. Have another starting the interior in a week. Exterior cost under $400 to pressure wash, mask, paint and cleanup.

To be determined. We don't have Home Depot parking lot people up here so most likely yellow pages.

Go to Kijiji services section.

You should find good help for $25-$30 per hour.
