Should I charge tenant for scrapes and chips on new driveway?

Mila F.

Asking this after having searched Biggerpockets for an answer.

Would you deduct for scrapes and chips on a new concrete driveway? This is just a cosmetic issue, but it is now permanent. Scratches are more pronounced and deep in person than on the photos. I expect they'll fade over time, but for the turnover, I'm now stuck with this look.  

We replaced this section just last year due to plumbing repairs, the rest of the driveway is only 3 years old.  To make things more complicated, there was already some cosmetic damage on this driveway from my contractor accidentally running a pressurewasher on the curing concrete and leaving spinning brush circles in one corner. 

The property is in GA, A-/B+ class with premium rents for this area. Tenants were good, rented only for 1.5 years (bought a house). 

TIA for your input!
