Would you tip carpet installers?

[cabbagecabbage]

Two guys are installing carpet in two rooms right now. They're really nice and working their butts off. Would you tip?

[olive]

No, I don't think so. Not unless they're doing something above and beyond. I've tipped furniture delivery guys when they've moved furniture around my house into the basement when they really didn't have to.

[lilac05]

I didn't.

If you want to?

I don't think that's expected

[soozy87]

No but I would find out their names and give them a good review if they give me a survey at the end or I would go to the company website and review them.

[panicfoot]

phew...i'm glad everyone said no. I didn't tip.

[cabbagecabbage]

While I don't think I need to, I think I'm going to tip them anyway. I'll be sure to tell our salesperson I was happy with them too but these are two guys who barely speak English who contract for the local carpet store with their own tools and van. They aren't even employees I don't think. I appreciate your answers but reading them made me realize I wanted to tip them. Plus I have a nice bedroom again. I'm so happy!

Eh, I don't think you *need* to, but if you feel like they're doing that great of a job, getting it done well/quickly/cleanly, then I would probably thank them with some dead presidents.

I'm no help but did you move all the furniture beforehand or do they to that? I'm contemplating getting new carpet upstairs.

They move it for $45/room per our contract but we had to remove electronics and pay $25 extra for the treadmill. They dissembled and reassembled our bed and asked how to arrange it and vacuumed.
