I can't see the grumbling about his labor bill here. Where did he give us total man hours and sq footage painted?

Have (well...had....he passed away) a client who painted high end stuff. Had maybe 3 guys as helpers. Did a big job for a multi-unit project which bill totalled $70k. Customer knew full well what the job was going to cost. Very experienced guy. Job was done, units weren't selling and he told the painter 'not paying, you don't have a signed contract for the extras i asked for'. my client foolishly sent the original contract to the guy as proof and it now is no longer in existence.

Lesson is my client THOUGHT he had a very good relationship with the folks involved. Did a LOT of work for them and related parties.

Moral of the story?

Progress billings and K.

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.
