If I am happy with the work they do I always tip. If I am not happy I don't and take steps to make sure it is fixed, 

 

Most of the time everything we have had done has been awesome. The couple of things we weren't too please with were rectified.

Not unless the installer does a few favors for you.    I had shutters installed......and the fella who did the work ALSO took down my drapes and blinds....AND hauled them out to the garage for me...........    So, in that case, I tipped him.

I wouldn't and I didn't. We recently replaced all of our windows with 4 Seasons windows, not cheap.

 

I consider the installers to have been paid by their employers for the job done.

 

I agree though with the poster who said that if they did things above and beyond their 'job' and I would have tipped them too.

Depends on the situation and relationship with the installer.

 

Around here in the hot deep South, a bottle of cold water is a must.

Tip if he goes above & beyond.
