Attic blown in insulation aftermath issues, need second opinion

We hired a company (part of nationwide franchise) to remove 20+ yr old cellulose and blow in new attic insulation. There’s been nothing but issues with this company: for example contract stated R-49 work, crew did R-38 (owner gave them wrong information) so we ended up credit back of some money but lost discount owner had given us for R-49 work. Crew caused damages including to an aluminum exhaust duct which they almost walked away without fixing until I repeatedly begged them to fix. I just now noticed they had knocked an AC duct loose (it’s been a couple of months post job but that duct was fine pre attic work) and now I’ve done my best to tape it up until I can get AC contractor to fix. They also charged my credit card again a couple months after I paid & I had to go through hassle of credit card dispute.
ANYWAYS, my question is - the broken aluminum exhaust duct and ac duct are things I can SEE but now the blown in insulation is covering everything and I’m nervous they may have damaged other things I can’t see. Is there a service I can pay for maybe through another attic insulation company, home inspector, etc. to give everything a look and make sure nothing else needs repair? I’d just like some peace of mind. Thanks

Small dents and ripples in new gutters

We just had new gutters installed, they were replacement for gutters damaged by hailstorm (old gutters were the same color and manufacturer). After completion, I noticed random, sporadic areas of minor dents and ripples. I asked the installer who said it’s just how the metal comes out of machine. Is this due to some sort of misalignment issue with how aluminum is fed into machine? I’m almost positive my old gutters didn’t have these imperfections. Will it worsen over time or is this just cosmetic issue? Thx
