I would suggest finding out when the roof was last replaced. It does have an impact on insurance costs. It doesn't take a roofer necessarily to determine that though.

That goes without saying….my comment was geared toward the person who wanted to hire a specialist for every single thing that could go wrong in a house. Some instances plumbers/electricians/roofers/structural engineers are needed, but a general inspector should be able to tell you what’s necessary.

No matter the age it should be checked out, there are tons of non-obvious problems as well.
