I gave my guy $20

he's based in SI.
I live in BK.
I don't think Manhattan is a far stretch (if that is what you mean)
and thanks Em, for being NO help in answering my question

I do not tip owners. If he has a helper, I'd give him/her/them, $20 (each).

I think you paid too much for 320 sf....it is like $1.71 a sf....the usual rate is 1.35....I wouldn't give him a tip on top of that..... just my opinion....

$1.35 is pretty cheap. Cheapest I ever saw was $1.50 sq ft and on the avg up to $2.50 sq ft (all depending on the exact job being done)

Re: Need quick "tipping" advice re" floor refinishing
I just asked Mike...he said it was pretty reasonable...if it includes refinishing AND lacquering...a small tip would suffice.
