Of course, if the rust is not a structural issue, but rather a cosmetic one, (unless you are contemplating a sale), it would not seem that there would be much in the way of damages.

No, nothing in writing concerning that observation and discussion. But even if it were, I would be bucking the "good old boy" network down here by going after that contractor, and would very likely get nowhere with it. The guy has run for county commissioner twice, and although he lost both times, I am sure he is well connected with those people who are commissioners.
I suspect that "cosmetic" rust, won't stay that way for long, and it will eventually eat through the metal panels, which would allow rain water to seep into the roof of the house.
