Advice on how to charge for damaged flooring/trim etc on move out

We just had our tenants move out and I'm trying to figure out how to charge for some of the damages. They were good tenants for the most part and cleaned the house pretty well but there are some things. 

Any tips/advice/encouragement is greatly appreciated.

Garage door - they had a car roll into it so I'm getting an estimate. It just dented.

Floor - there is one decent sized scratch on the laminate. How do you recommend we charge for this? Is this something we can fill? I'm not familiar with fixing laminate flooring!

Trim - there are  a couple places where it looks like something bashed into the trim and took some chunks out. Not sure how to charge for this or fix it.

Yard - they didn't really keep up the yard as we would have liked (we are moving to include yard service to avoid this in the future) There are big chunks of dirt where grass used to be, some of the plants we had planted died due to not being watered etc.  Also, lots of yard debris that should have been swept up and disposed of. 

Screen door - the screen door was taken out and leaning against the wall and has a tear in it. Do I need to get a whole new door or is there a way to replace just the screen? 

Painting - there are holes from hanging pictures and some spots that need touched up. Is this something you normally charge for or is this considered more normal wear and tear?
