I want to say it was about $100. I didn't have him backup or restore (totally comfortable doing that), so it was a well-paid hour, but totally worth it. In addition to the two MBP's I've done memory and HDD swap on, I've also replaced the battery in an old iPod classic. To my credit, it has worked just fine, but the case does have a blemish or two from my "learning". Based on that, and your same fears about pulling the glass off the iMac and getting a good clean seal when done (without any dust or stray hairs), I don't regret paying an "expert" at all. I didn't get to see him do it, so I can't comment any more that the videos and guides online (ifixit has guides/kits, too) would tell you. Either way, best of luck!
