Stonehenge is on a distinguished road
It all depends on the wording onf your contract, but in general, you should probably think of it this way:

If you hired a builder to build a house for you, and the drywall wasn't done properly, who would you most likely call to get the problem fixed? Probably the contractor.

So even if you have wording otherwise, clients are going to expect that they can come to you to solve whatever problems they are having, and you'll do what's needed to remedy that situation.

And someone else should probably jump in here, but if there's a problem that results in a lawsuit (let's hope it never happens), the plaintiff will probably use the shotgun approach and sue anyone that may have had a hand in the work, contractor and sub. Right?

I'm sure someone here has done some work on either side of this (actually, I have, so I should check the paperowkr I have), to see how to best insulate yourself.
