Do I Tip The Floor Installers

How much should i tip floor installers.

Do i tip the floor installers.

You can give them a tip or reward them with refreshments and snacks. Some installers don t even like being tipped but not all. 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. Generally skilled labor doesn t require tipping.

Here is what people tip on average. 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. Instead they offer refreshments and buy dinner or lunch depending on the time of the day. You should always tip flooring installers.

But no i would not tip someone who is skilled enough to be laying floors. So if you don t tip what do you do. 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. At the carpet guys our flooring installers contractors work very hard in providing excellent detail oriented work.

Some installers like the idea of being tipped even recalling that one time someone gave me 30. For a big job tip 10 to 15 percent of the total cost of the job. Most people that do tip pay on average 20 per person per day. Others find it patronizing.

Regardless if you feel the installers have done a great job and gone above and beyond it s up to you. Most people don t tip. Even fence installers themselves say they get tipped rarely. That s regardless of what the day has in store for them.

Most people seem not to tip floor installers extra.
