Expensive Window Replacement - Is This Acceptable?

[Marcus Auerbach]

We are under contract on a nice house with brand new windows. At a cost of nearly $4,000 per window, I am not sure how I feel about their caulk job: they replaced the old oak trim and installed new white trim and while it looks like a clean job, they caulked over the paint. The job was done by a national window franchise, so I amssume they follow a process.  

I am used to seeing caulk applied efore paint. Is this an acceptable practice?
