I guess I would ask myself why I didn't recognize the problems (that the roofer noticed) when I went and re-inspected the roof. If the problem was not visible at the time of the re-inspection, then that goes beyond the scope of an inspection which would be the same standards used during the first inspection.
A buyer calls me to do a home inspection. I get there and the seller shows me a receipt showing that part of the roof has been repaired two days ago, do I (as a home inspector) inform my client (the buyer) that I will not be inspecting that repaired part of the roof?
Limitation: I (the home inspector) did not inspect recently repaired part of roof due to ???.
For me to understand, I really need somebody to fill in where the question marks are.
