At least in the US, yes.  The term "roofer" is typically used (in the 
US) to refer to tradesman who install roof coverings (i.e., roof 
shingles, etc.) onto an already constructed roof sub-structure.

They ("roofers") also sometimes do small repair work (replace some 
rotten roof boards, etc.) while installing a new roof cover on an 
existing building, but they typically are not the builders of the full 
roof substructure.
