⚖️  Law

I hired a painting company to paint the exterior of my house. One of the painters broke a chunk off the wooden window frame while moving a ladder. The painters initially refused to take responsibility but later agreed to fix it. However, they have not made any attempts to repair the frame. Should I pay them after they finish the painting job, or should I withhold payment until the frame is repaired? Should they charge me extra if they repair it, or am I responsible for the frame?

The contractor is fully liable for the damage they caused to the window frame, regardless of its age...
