| He cleaned the gutters, then power washed and sealed the decks. By himself, it was three 8 hour days total. He works for a service so I’m sure he doesn’t get all of it. What would you tip him? |

| $100. |

| Nothing, he gets paid by the service. |

| $100-200 |

This was what I was going to suggest too. |

| How much did he charge to do that? Seems like he took his time! |

No tip. You already paid him for his work.
Tipping culture is getting out of hand. We tip in restaurants because they don't get the standard minimum wage. Everyone else, tips are meant to be truly for exceptional service. |

15-20 percent of the total charged?
$100-200? |

| 10 per hour worked |

| I would give him $200 but I’m financially comfortable and I don’t care if it’s the culture or not. |

It would depend on the amount charged for the job--3 days does seem like a lot for the services provided.
Not sure why this took more than two days. |

| I don’t feel that this is a “tippable” service. If he went above and beyond for you, then sure give a tip but no obligation to IMO. |

This. If wasn't for the deck needing to dry, could have been done in 1 day even. Seems like the OP's handyman already tipped himself. |

| A good tip? Like don't cut your grass too short? |
