QUESTION
I am willing to pay the agreed amount to repair my patio, the front porch, and the paintings of the house but refuses to repair the patio correctly.

More details to this question:
I refuse to proceed with the work of the back patio because I want them to sand, clean the beams before attaching the lattices but the company wants to finish the work fast by putting the lattices first and painting the patio without prepping the woods. The front porch was sand, primed accordingly so the work was ok. The question is can I stop them from finishing the patio and pay for the work done on the front porch and the paintings of the house. Is this not taking advantage of me being a 75-year-old woman?

Yes, you should be able to have them stop work if they are not doing it per the contract terms. You will have to pay for the work they did to this point, unless again, it's not what you contracted for or if they are unlicensed contractors.
