You should contact both, as time is critical. If its a water based paint it should come off ok with a power washer up to about 4 days ( apply fairy liquid first all over then power wash ) If its an oil based paint your time limit is 1 to 2 days to get it off, small amount of white spirit on rag, then fairy liquid, then power wash, then re-wax. If its already hard then T CUT will take it off but is a long expensive process. This is for a normal waxed car paint finish. If the car is a Bentley or similar better to say nothing and move. We spray roofs and external walls even on a calm day paint will drift your roofer should have got the car moved or masked it up with poly.

Speak to both party’s and if necessary get insurance company’s involved.
Not an ideal situation 😅
All the best.
