Frequently asked questions when getting your roof replaced!

Not just a local roofer; A full exterior renovation contractor

Signs can vary widely what we recommend here at Nordic to look for is; sagging, curling, the obvious leak. Our typical lifespan in the field we are seeing with asphalt shingles is 15 to 25 years. While metal systems can last in excess of 50 years. 

Tear off, (we do not recommend overlays), decking inspection and repairs, underlayment, flashing, vents, new shingles, covering and protecting shrubbery, cleanup and disposal

Most single family homes can be completed in one day! While a lot of commercial and multi-family housing project can take a week to three weeks. Variables are going to be height, steepness, number of layers and weather delays.

Tear off and removing the old layers is always our preferred option, as you can not see any underlying issues like soft spots or weak decking. It can affect your new system you just put on and decrease its integrity to hold up against wind and rain. 

Options: Asphalt, metal, Synthetic.

-Asphalt is affordable and friendly to those on a budget.

-Metal is long lasting and can withstand the elements for the years to come and our preffered choice.

-Synthetic is a new product that hasn’t been proven to test the time 50 years later yet but is typically easier to install and cant be scratched or dented. 

This can vary widely by materials, complexity, region and contractor. 

Most locations require a permit, consult with your contractor regarding whether one is required or not for your region beforehand.

Proper ventilation and insulation are key success factors to avoid ice dams. Each situation is different while every roof goes into our Nordic exteriors calculator and the homeowner is then given a suggestion based on their current house.

FAQ

We exist to serve our homeowners and their needs. However, there is an ideal order of operations when it comes to exterior remodels and renovations.

Roofing -> Painting -> Windows + Doors -> Soffit + Fascia -> Siding -> Gutters

Every situation, policy, and home is unique. You can be sure that Nordic Exteriors will do everything possible to be a voice of reason and understanding during these stressful times. 

There is only one time that it is appropriate time to utilize an insurance claim and that is when there is actual storm damage from wind and hail, specifically in the last year. As general contractors, we are not policy experts nor should we be. We exist, in collaboration with our public adjustor and insurance estimator on staff, to advocate for you and to perform the work.  

We do offer discounts! Throughout the year, there will be discounts to first time customers. Year round, we do offer a senior discount and a veterans discount. Talk to your Exterior Consultant or Project Manager about discounts available to you.
