Hello,
we have a crack in the corner of the window frame, see picture. The installation company is willing to retouch the crack with paint or similar. According to an expert, there is a risk that the frame may crack further and that this is a thermal bridge.
Are there any opinions on this?

The issue with the plaster is not your problem. That’s their problem.
The question is rather whether the situation might get worse during the replacement due to waterproofing and so on.
I wouldn’t make such a decision alone; someone knowledgeable should be involved. Waterproofing and similar aspects are an important point. The money needed for that can certainly be well invested.

The concern is completely justified, which is why I say bring in an expert. My expectation is that the seller will involve one of his subcontractors with fewer complaints on record than the one who originally did the work here. But the second person will probably be working alone again; the seller won’t hire a separate skilled plasterer. We only have a contract with the general contractor. They pass on all complaints that do not concern their own work directly to the subcontractor. We have no influence over the party actually performing the work.
