At least in the US, yes. The term "roofer" is typically used (in the <br>
US) to refer to tradesman who install roof coverings (i.e., roof <br>
shingles, etc.) onto an already constructed roof sub-structure.<br>
<br>
They ("roofers") also sometimes do small repair work (replace some <br>
rotten roof boards, etc.) while installing a new roof cover on an <br>
existing building, but they typically are not the builders of the full <br>
roof substructure.<br>
