If all ends up well (as we fully expect it will), we'd like to give each
of the two workers some sort of tip. What is the proper etiquette for
tipping contractors/workers for projects like this? Just wondering what
others here have done.



You could ask the owner what would be appropriate. If he can't come up
with a satisfactory answer, I'd give each a gift certificate to a nice
local restaurant.

My husband has his own, very small, masonry business. He usually has 2 guys
helping him. They ALWAYS appreciate a tip! I wouldn't give alcohol, you
don't know who may be going to AA, ect.
Here are other things that they appreciate......
....a place to go to the bathroom
....ice water, or soda and ice
....a sandwich and a bag of chips.
