Whether you are using a plumber or an electrician or other maintenance personnel for a scheduled appointment or an emergency call – the standard rule of thumb is that no tipping is required. It’s not expected and is not the norm.
In fact, skilled craftsmen or technicians such as painters, alarm service techs, handymen, appliance repairmen, electricians and plumbers are generally well paid professionals and tipping is just not required.
Despite this – we are aware that some customers are so appreciative of work done above and beyond by our plumber who either “came to the rescue” during an emergency call or simply spent more time on the job or performed tasks that were not part of the original job – that they felt they needed to provide a monetary tip.
Of course – we appreciate the accolades and the gesture and we at Atlantis Plumbing would like to ask you that instead of giving a tip to our plumber, that you please provide us with a review / testimonial on websites like Yelp or Google.
These reviews help us tremendously not only with our website marketing but also by letting others know of the quality work that we were able to provide you with.
