Roofers typically focus on the exterior of a building and generally do not need to enter the interior during standard roof installation or repair work. Their primary responsibility is to assess, repair, or install the roofing materials on the outer part of the structure. Interior access is usually required by other professionals, such as contractors or inspectors, who may need to enter the attic or ceiling space.

While roofers typically do not need to go inside, there are some instances where interior access may be necessary:

• Roof Inspection: Roofers may need to access the interior of a building to conduct a thorough inspection of the roof structure, checking for any underlying issues or damage that could affect its performance.

• Repairs or Replacements: Certain roofing repairs or replacements might require limited interior access. For example, if there is significant damage to the roof decking or insulation, roofers may need to enter the building to make the necessary repairs.

• Skylight or Ventilation Installation: If the roofing project involves installing skylights, roof vents, or other components, roofers may need interior access to ensure proper alignment, sealing, or connection of these elements.

It’s important to communicate with your roofing contractor about any concerns or specific requirements regarding interior access. They will provide you with detailed information on their process and discuss any necessary interior access if it is required for your particular roofing project.
