Damage to the outer covering and concerns about the supporting structure require different assessments. A roofer may identify signs that warrant another qualified professional's involvement. Owners should not assume that every issue is limited to replacing surface material.
What to do next
Keep people away from visibly unsafe areas and follow appropriate emergency guidance. Ask the assessor to identify the limits of the inspection and any referral needed. Document the scope of each professional's review so conclusions are not applied beyond what was examined.
