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.
