Holiday Tipping Guide for Building Professionals
How can you show your appreciation to your service providers during the coming season? Read our holiday tipping guide to find out more.
· When it comes to service providers, including grounds crews and property managers, tipping is still optional. Don’t feel pressured to give cash tips that you can’t afford. A small handmade gift or baked item is still perfectly acceptable.
· If you are providing a gift to someone who’s provided service for you all year long, consider adding short note of appreciation.
· The amount is entirely up to you. It is the gesture which counts, not the amount of the tip.

How Much to Tip Building Staff
If you’re a resident, consider a small token of appreciation for the hardworking building staff who have been serving you all year long. According to Brick Underground, while only a minority of residents tip building staff, it does happen regularly.
