Contractor labor costs

[Lester Walkowicz]

Hello everyone, 

I wanted to know if $30/hour in North Jersey is a reasonable or too high to pay a contractor for labor.  He is someone I know that is very good.  He just started to be self employed and has no real experience in pricing out a rehab, so we though of an hourly pay for labor.

He would do pretty much most of the interior work, from flooring and tile installation, cabinet installation and trim.

Thanks in advance for feedback.
