Basic

Straightforward job, easy access, standard materials, nothing unexpected behind the surface.
Standard
$136 – $190
The most common outcome: typical scope, mid-grade materials, a little prep or adjustment along the way.
Extensive
$190 – $220+
Larger scope, premium materials, difficult access, or repairs needed before the main work can start.
Typical time on site
About 1 hrs – 2 hrs for a standard job, not counting material pickup or a return visit if something unexpected turns up.
Labor vs. materials
Roughly 85% labor and 15% materials for this type of work.
Item and part count
A simple crib assembles quickly; convertible cribs, dressers with multiple drawers and gliders take longer.
Anti-tip anchoring
Dressers and changing tables should be anchored to the wall, which means finding a stud or using a rated anchor.
Number of pieces
Assembling a full nursery set in one visit costs less per item than a single piece.
Local labor rates
Rates vary market to market. Your quote reflects what the pro in your ZIP actually charges — not a national guess.
Small job — know the risk
It looks simple on paper, but shut-off valves that won't close, live circuits, and damage hidden behind the wall are what turn a 30-minute job into a much bigger repair bill. At this price point a pro visit is usually cheap enough that most homeowners just book it and move on.
Most homeowners in this range end up hiring out: the price is fixed before work starts, and the pro who does the job stands behind it.
