Roof rafter structural damage caused from cutting-out the rafter for the A/C Ducting, however, the original room addition shoddy workmanship included attaching the room addition rafters to the green fascia board (instead of constructing a ledger secured into the load bearing wall) all of which resulted in leaving construction defects caused from code violations linked to safety hazards.
Roof rafters and/or deck floor joists attached to the fascia board are considered a code violation relating to Live-Load, and Dead-Load structural requirements. To meet Building Code requirements; rafters and/or floor joists must be mechanically secured into the ledger using an approved hanger, and the ledger is mechanically secured into a load bearing wall.

Consumers
often get estimates to compare ideas, products, and pricing before
making a major purchase, whereas, in reality they are shopping price
due in part to a lack of confidence in the construction industry.
Shopping only pricing, however, often leads to hiring the Unlicensed
contractor whom give work away at or below cost just to get their crews
working, which involves considerations for cutting corners using; mixed/matched
materials unfit for the project,operating with uninsured, unskilled, under the table, undocumented employees, to include but not limited to operating with unsupervised production workers,paid for their throw-on workmanship compared with the supervised hourly employees paid for their Quality!
In states requiring licensing; YOU could be arrested for hiring an unlicensed contractor, and if they are injured on your project they could sue you and win! ref. abcnews.go.comUnlicensedContractorsWillRipYouOff
