Old cribs with WIDE slats pose a safety risk to babies and toddlers. They can get their head through the slat, but cannot get their head back out of the slat. They can strangle themselves with their head through the slat.

How much more should you charge to install hard woood on a 45?

As in most construction jobs, the amount of extra time it takes to cut one slat multiplied by the amount of slats to be cut. Or add it in your labor units per slat prior to estimate. If the majority of the slats require a single cut then the time for the second cut should be only added along with any additional time for layout. I don't think the labor to install it will change but little things like marking them to align the nail holes and any additional trim work should be accounted for. I am an electrician and estimator with very little knowledge of the labor units used in hardwood flooring but as an example: If one slats labor unit is .25/ea from truck to finish with one cut, then estimating an additional hour for layout, then divided by the amount of slats to get a single labor unit {for sake of my pea brain I will say 60 slats will yield an additional minute or .01 labor unit per slat}. then adding the additional cut of lets say 5 minutes .065 labor units to match the labor unit used for the first cut. Presently giving you .075 units per slat 60 slats X .075 = 4.5 additional labor units. This then is added to any additional trim pieces or slats the configuration generated for your adder cost. Hope this doesn't confuse matters. Good luck to you and I will keep an eye on this if there are any clarifications to be made.
