Tip help please (flooring installers)

[RBL]

Do you tip the men who install your hardwood? I am thinking yes, but I really have no idea if it is expected or not.

If so, how much? I think there are 3 guys and they will be here for about a day and a half.

TIA.

I wouldn't.
If you're home I would offer lemonade or coffee or whatever. I might buy them lunch or just give them homemade cookies or something. But I wouldn't tip. I could be wrong...

No, tipping isnt customary for that sort of thing.

No tipping but I second offering them something to drink. If they work for a flooring company, I wouldn't do lunch or cookies. If it's a couple of guys you or your H know I might.

I tip movers and the cleaning lady and one time I tipped the cable man when he had to go under my house in 100 degree heat. If I have someone working on my home I will not typically tip, but I will offer food and beverages. If they do something above and beyond what they are contracted to do I will give a tip, but that is unusual.
