Holiday Tipping Etiquette for Home Pros

Whether you’re using a contractor to spruce up your master bath with a custom bath remodel or a plumber handyman to fix a leaky faucet, it’s always nice to remember the service professionals who care for your home at Christmastime. If you’re wondering how to show your appreciation for a job well done, here’s a guide to point you in the right direction.

To Tip or Not to Tip?

Painters. Calling in a painter to brighten up your walls with a fresh coat of paint? No tip is usually necessary, but if he’s done you a favor by going above and beyond the original scope of the job, then by all means go ahead and tip!
Handymen. Handymen typically earn over $100 an hour and don’t really expect to be tipped. If, however, you’ve found yourself a go-to guy who can be counted on for a variety of odd jobs, then a small token equal to his daily fee can be in order around the holidays.
Contractors/remodelers. Tipping is not expected for general contractors or their crew members. A job well done can be rewarded with a great review that can help bring in more business. On the other hand, you can opt to offer the contractor a monetary bonus for completing the project early or under budget. This could be covered by a percentage of the savings on the project.
