[James Boreno]

Hi BP Fam,

See Imgur Link for Cracked Stairnose Photos

Installed Vinyl Stairnose in my rental about 6 Months ago, but my tenant sent me these photos that it's starting to crack. What do y'all suggest I do? It's a total of 14 steps, and I believe 3 are starting to crack.

1. 1) Should I replace the cracked stairnose with replacement vinyl stairnose and hope it doesn't happen again?
2. 2) Should I install carpet over the vinyl stairnose?
3. 3) Any other suggestions which are cost-effective as this unit is being rented to a tenant with a dog.
