Can I deduct from security deposit for my own labor

Hi, My tenant has moved out and there is a lot of little things that need to be done to ready the place for the new tenant.  Ie replace bulbs, clean, paint, fix broken cabinets, patch holes, repair broken appliances.  If I were to hire someone to do the work then I would deduct some of that labor from the deposit, but what if I did the work myself.  Could I deduct for my own labor?  The rental is in California.
