Nothing ever goes on time or schedule.
We never ever under stepped our bounds.
We almost always broke or damaged something.

^^^^^ This right here. Hopefully the majority of filming was exteriors, they can mess up a home quick with last minute decisions and camera angle changes.
Don't "clean as you go" or make any repairs. Wait until the dust settles and either let them fix things right or charge them appropriately to have it done by a third party. Production companies have insurance, let them pay the costs.
If you don't feel that they have made things right at the end of the day you can pursue legal channels and that will get their attention. They hate it if there is any chance of some party putting a "lien on the film negative" that would effect release of their "Pet Project".
