For years on Conditional Progress releases we have used a cumulative total. Ex, apr. invoice (open) #$15.00, may 20.00, & june 35.00 so when doing the rel. thru 6/30/19, the amount that I use is $70.00 as being due. Is this correct?

I had a contractor do some outside painting for me and it was bubbling and not scrapped and sanded properly. he fixed some of the areas but I refused to pay him unless they were all corrected.
