US, only residents, please. What is the custom for tipping (or not tipping) contractor installers for things like refrigerators, water heaters, etc.? What about guys who deliver furniture and large TVs? Is there a custom out there I don't know about ? My husband seemed to think that no tipping is necessary (or expected). Thoughts? Thanks

I deliver rock,mulch,dirt and it makes my day when I get only one ten dollar tip for the day.
I got a grand total of about half of our customers tipping me.
In most cases the labor wont be getting paid squat to deliver or do the work.

Most of the workers do not normally get or expect a tip but if they had a problem or had to exert more of an effort than required on a normal job or had done an exceptional job a tip (if not baned by the company) would be appreciated. A tip should not be given out of the feeling of an obligation but as a token of thanks and a gesture of appreciation.

I would not tip in under those circumstances. Those people are fully compensated for what they do unlike foodservice, hotel staff, and other service jobs. They don't expect to be tipped and it would be awkward to do so.
Hand them some homemade cookies instead.

No. Either you or the store paid these guys to do a job. There is this reverse snob thing you might even be insulting someone. Of course there are people who will always take money if you want to give it to them but that still doesn't make it the correct thing to do.

While it's a nice gesture to try, many companies have a policy against accepting tips. I've even offered them water and they said they couldn't accept it.

Contractors no. Delivery guys, especially if they do "extra" for you should get something.
