Lack of lead practices on home

Contractor claims they did lead testing on my 1971 home in April prior to window install but generated no proof until August. Once we got results they were incomplete, inconclusive, and seemed manufactured. We were told by EPA 15 windows needed approximately 30 swab tests done to conclude lead negative yet document shows only 9. No lead practices were followed day of install based on contractor stating lead testing in April showed lead negative. Since results did not come until Aug and install of windows was June we had environmental company come access to make sure we didn't get contaminated at time of install since we still had no results. Do I have any legal rights for potentially having our family put in harms way? Remaining balance is due and I'm not paying. Offered lower amount based off dissatisfaction and causing us unnecessary fear for months waiting for our results which we feel are manufactured. They now claim if we don't pay full amount they will put lien on home.
