Assume you are hiring just another person at their rate/getting an estimate.
Anytime I get a buddy to do work in their field I assume I am hiring just another person up front.
I always ask before or after what do I owe for the help/work.
However, I don't think once I have had a buddy charge me full price when asked.
Either free if it's something they are coming over for : Electrician, Lawn Care, Plumber
Or discount if they have cost : Movers, Delivery/Courier, etc
NEVER take for granted they owe you free/discounted services since they are a friend.
Also, if you are getting a discount/free work make sure you are giving them referrals with other people!
