Replacing BB - Skill level?

Is replacing a cartridge BB someone with intermediate skills and the right tools should be able to do? I have disassembled, cleaned and repacked the bearings on an older 105 square axle bb with loose bearings, so I know the process. But I have read warnings about home mechanics not being able to get the fixed cup tight enough so let the shop do it. I do have the appropriate remover for the Shimano splined bb, as well as crank puller, etc., but this will be the first time I try to use it. Any hints/warnings?
Thanks,
Raymond
