Do I Tip The Floor Installers

Here is what people tip on average.

Do i tip the floor installers.

Even fence installers themselves say they get tipped rarely. Generally skilled labor doesn t require tipping. You can give them a tip or reward them with refreshments and snacks. Regardless if you feel the installers have done a great job and gone above and beyond it s up to you.

At the carpet guys our flooring installers contractors work very hard in providing excellent detail oriented work. But no i would not tip someone who is skilled enough to be laying floors. 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 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. Some installers like the idea of being tipped even recalling that one time someone gave me 30. 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. Instead they offer refreshments and buy dinner or lunch depending on the time of the day.

However if you do want to tip them people tip on average between 10 30 per person per day averaging at around 20 per person per day. You should always tip flooring installers. 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 seem not to tip floor installers extra.

Most people don t tip. That s regardless of what the day has in store for them. Tipping carpet installers is also a good idea when they carry out additional job for you. So if you don t tip what do you do.

Others find it patronizing.
