Would you tip the people who installed your fence?

I have 3 guys here installing my fence.....am I supposed to tip them after spending close to 6,000 for it? If so, how much?

I didn't. They are being paid by the owner. I did however offer them drinks and Dh offered them a pizza, although they had their own food with them.

I would definitely. I would give $5 each. They are not the owners, so yes, I would tip.

At most I would do $10 each as a compromise. But no way, I would not NOT tip them. My theory is, you never know when you have to call back to have something fixed etc and a small tip can go a long way.

I think $10 a piece is good. It would be enough for them to buy lunch at the deli or wherever.
