I just ordered a shutter for my downstairs bedroom window - the owner of the company came to my house. In a few weeks, one of his workers will be here to install. Do u ever tip the worker in a similar situation? If so, how much?

In the past I always dealt with the owner of window treatment companies.

In the situation the OP has given, no, I wouldn't tip.

No.

We generally don't tip in such cases unless we've asked the worker(s) to go above and beyond or they did so on their own. Usually, that would be after a big project.

We did tip our moving guys because they were exceptional, and we did the same with a couple other jobs.

For one shutter installation? I don't think so.

No, this is not a service worker earning minimum wage.

No, I wouldn't tip a guy hanging a couple of shutters. I've tipped movers in the past, and I tipped the painters who painted the entire interior of our home because they really did some extra things that helped me out.

If I paid to have it installed, I wouldn't tip.

No, he is doing his job.  If you asked him to go above and beyond with a personal request, I would pay an appropriate amount for the extra work done.
