Honest answer but - What if the homeowner was nice but said the bill was 1k from some hidden damage? I think that's the real ethics question. Maybe say I'll pay for the window but nothing else? Then why even pay for the window? The homeowner still has unpaid for damage.

I find it very interesting to challenge the ethics of any situation.
