Changing brakes on a bike... let the LBS do it?

I've got a decent maintenance kit (27-piece), and I was wondering how hard it is to change brakes.

I just bought a Cross Check, and due to the typical weather in Florida as well as the need for adequate fender clearance, I've decided I'd swap out its cantis for v-brakes.

The LBS wants to charge me $38 on top of cost for parts, and I'm thinking that's a bit pricey if I can just do it myself.

Thoughts?
