Top of stairs, cat destroys carpet by scratching it,, So she decides to not clean the carpets and just fix the carpet, Make the patch and she complains that I took left over carpet from attic and patched the carpet,,, She thought I could just trim it up.
What she was upset about was the 90 bucks I charged for patching her carpet.

She is moving and the management company is making her clean the carpets, do a pet job and repair top of stairs....

She decided carpet cleaning was not necessary and claims the cat didn't make any messes at all
'
The scratch mess she claims,, but didn't like the 90 bucks to fix it...

I said ok I was leaving she says no don't leave fix the scrathes so I did and begrudgingly she paid me the 90 plus tax
.

Best part is when she moves the PM company will send me in to clean and pet treat it and she will still pay for it out of her deposit.

I took pics for the management co. and after she complained and they called me I sent them the pics.

Always cover your butt when dealing with PM.

I would only do the work for the management. And collect check from management. Let them chase her for the money. Or collect pay up front. Never trust a tenant.

minimal staples

but i did get a good scratch and caught one under the fingernail

then my stupid stapler broke. stupid roberts gun

Me too man. I install top down. I use the stair claw tool forget the name of it. Makes life so easy. But with stips it makes it difficult to do top down. I do strip stairs though like pies. Because their like mini landings. And bull nose or upholstered steps. And concrete treads.
