The last crew I had in here to do cedar siding did an incredible job plus some extra that they threw in for nothing. There were two men who were here everyday, went out of their way to make sure I was happy, used 5/4 lumber when 2X would have sufficed (I did cover that expense but it was a change order they brought to me). They fixed other stuff that they uncovered. I mean to say these guys really hooked me up. They were all local guys. I did the usual bagels and coffee on the first day, comped their lunch on the third day. But I tipped the two pros a C note each. After that they showed once a week for a month just to check on their work.

I find that showing some care for the grunts, like coffee and lunch goes a long way during the job sorta like saying please and the tip says a huge thank you afterwards.
