Final Trim Work - Completed poorly

I’m so frustrated. The contractor I hired had subs in painting and caulking the trim work. Now all of my brand new baseboards, door frames, and window frames have paint strokes, caulk drips, clumps, etc. They look pretty terrible up close. It’s all BRAND new and shouldn’t look like this. Can I make him sand them and start over? I still owe him more money for the job, and I hired him to start on another flip for me next week- but I’m definitely rethinking it with the subpar work that has just been done. Dealing with contractors is definitely the most difficult part of this business..and I think especially since I am a woman. Any and all advice is appreciated. Thanks.

with painting you have to be very specific.. in the deep south half those dudes will paint the windows shut and it looks like they have parkinsons there is so much splatter.  even on higher end homes.. 

in Oregon We have some really really good Russian painters those dudes can paint and its museum quality.
