btw, just saw that roofer is defined as: "A workplace or office of a tradesman who is specialized in roof construction.", IMHO this should be more specific (if I am not misguided) by pointing out it isn't about the structure but about the cover, right?
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.
