You put a contractor's lien on her property and then sue her in small claims court for the value of the work that you did. You make sure that the price you are charging is valid before you do so.

You can sue the customer. I hope you have evidence of the work you did, to use in court to support your bill.

Did the homeowner say why she will not pay?

In the future, always have a written and signed agreement with your customers. It can avoid problems.
