I
intend to ask them to fix the painter's screw-ups too, and then I'll
just forward that bill to the painter. If they balk, my lawyer is ready
to help me and complaints will be made to the BBB and my state as well.

I'm sure you realize that YOU must pay the roofer and collect from the
painter. The roofer has no dog in the race and must be paid for his work,
no matter who or what the cause.
