I would guess it depends on your wireless goals. If you just need to supply a handful of devices connectivity it is not too much of an issue to install Access Points. If you are planning on getting into high density coverage to ensure sufficient bandwidth for many devices grouped together such as a 1-to-1 then working with an experienced installer may save you time and money.
There are a few vendors such as Xirrus that include installation, and guarantee coverage as part of the equipment costs.

Is this dangerous from a support perspective? I was thinking of either HP/3COM or Aruba. Doesn't seem to be really that much cheaper. Input on this would help.
