But the biggest thing for us was they took two kitchen carts, a microwave, curtains, and the shelves from our closet shelving systems with them. 

Originally, people tells me, it's too shiny.Second, I used to get after tenant for holes in the wall, where they hang pictures, shelves etc..

A pegboard is not much different then hanging shelves, pictures, etc on the wall. 

I would have to shelve 1-2% commission if I were to use one.

In the current environment, houses are flying off the shelves, so to speak.  

They’ve repainted all the blonde wood kitchen cabinets with Cherry wood stain (not well done), they’ve opened a bathroom wall party and inset shelving 3ft by 8 ft, they erected a large canopy in the back yard and built an attached tool shed (both not permitted) and so many other similar things.They had never asked permission of me to perform any of these changes and I am wondering how I go about collecting on repairs that will far exceed their original security deposit.

It has built in shelves that I'll be tweaking by adding a desk to.  

Where I live in GA my subdivision the existing houses fly off the shelves especially in the lower range for single story ranch houses ( development goes from 200k to millions on the high end).

*Trim molding around the island*Stairs*No shelves in pantry*Casing around the window*1 pendant light left to hang*Register vent covers and air vent under the island*Finish baseboard molding and register vent along the wall*Paint/Spackle touch up around the walls*Tile back-splash not finished*Cabinet hardware not installed*Lazy susan not attachedContractor: (sends me a copy of the bill) and says, "Ok we will address all concerns you have but will not do additional work like the steps until balance is paid"Signed,Please advise!!!

This is a much larger job than you'd think it would be, but if you add up the number of doors, shelves, window, baseboards, build ins, closets, etc there is a large area of woodwork that must be primed, touched up, and recoated.
