Do I Tip The Floor Installers

At the carpet guys our flooring installers contractors work very hard in providing excellent detail oriented work.

Do i tip the floor installers. So if you don t tip what do you do. Most people that do tip pay on average 20 per person per day. Most people seem not to tip floor installers extra. You can give them a tip or reward them with refreshments and snacks.

That s regardless of what the day has in store for them. Rather than handing out money to each mover give the sum to the foreman to divide among the crew specifying how much you want to. Generally skilled labor doesn t require tipping. Although it is not ideal there are special cases where the installers will have to carry out additional tasks like moving furniture so that they can get their job done.

Others find it patronizing. How much should i tip floor installers. You should always tip flooring installers. Here is what people tip on average.

I do tip the carting guy s assistant and if i hired a day laborer and he did a good job i would give him a large tip ie pay him what i thought he was worth and not his stated day rate. Most people don t tip. Instead they offer refreshments and buy dinner or lunch depending on the time of the day. But no i would not tip someone who is skilled enough to be laying floors.

Regardless if you feel the installers have done a great job and gone above and beyond it s up to you. 75 of the time the actually installer works for who ever you bought the floor from and also probably are getting paid a flat rate per day instead of by the job. Some installers like the idea of being tipped even recalling that one time someone gave me 30. Some installers don t even like being tipped but not all.

For a big job tip 10 to 15 percent of the total cost of the job.
