No matter who is doing a service at my home, I always offer water, pop, or coffee. I rarely tip skilled tradesmen unless they have done something that is so far above and beyond the contracted work. Furniture delivery people always get at least $10 each. Our movers got $50 each and they deserved every penny.
The part of tipping culture that frosts my shorts are counter tip jars where the only thing happening is a transaction. YMMV.
