I don't judge a customer by how clean his house is.  If the installation
requires my having to access certain areas of the house that may be
messy, have them remove any "offensive material" beforehand.  Don't jack
up your price because you don't like the neighbourhood.  Everyone that
calls you deserves a fair shake and your best effort.  That's what
"being a professional" is all about.  Make damn sure he can pay you for
your time and professional attitude though.
