I think I can handle it, but I wonder what would be a fair price to charge (I live in the Denver area)?
thanks,

Repairing Door Frame - how much to charge?

Charge time and materials.
If you simply glue and screw the split jamb, charge them for an hour.
If you replace the jamb (which would be the highest quality repair), time + materials. The casing looks to be ok.
Friend? Stranger? Relative? $65 an hour is a pretty fair rate. OTOH, sometimes a freebie ends up with better benefits. Especially if it is someone that bakes a mean pie.
Whatever you charge, add a little for hazardous duty pay.
A kicked in door could mean you are walking into a bad situation.
