Availability
to be confirmed
“Published by the contractor” is data the contractor publishes in their profile. “Established by Nordis” is a selection reason calculated by Nordis. A field the real file does not contain shows as “to be confirmed”.
This preview is a sample built to explain the project file. In your file, the work prices, fees, inclusions and exclusions shown are the ones each contractor published in advance, for the options eligible to your project, and only where they published them.
If no contractor is eligible in your area when you submit, the file says so plainly and the Nordis team helps you with the next step.
A useful quote describes the area and components involved. Ask each company to specify what it repairs, replaces and leaves in place.
Inspection and scope
Separate assessment, a local repair and full replacement. Ask how you will approve damage repairs discovered during the work.
Materials and details
Have the covering, membranes, flashing and ventilation components identified. Compare the same description of work.
Removal and cleanup
Check removal of the old covering, debris disposal and protection of access areas. Clarify included deck repairs or repairs to confirm later.
Schedule and warranties
Ask about planned dates and rescheduling terms. Distinguish materials warranties from workmanship warranties, with written exclusions.
These points help you read offers. The company must confirm the work price and scope before you agree.
Safety comes before inspecting the roof
The flow distinguishes an active leak, visible damage, wear and a pre-purchase inspection. It never asks you to climb onto the roof: height checks belong to equipped professionals.
01
Visible sign
Leak, shifted shingle or water mark: tell us what you can see from the ground.
02
Approximate age
Age helps distinguish a targeted repair from a larger project without deciding remotely.
03
Access and timeline
Height, pitch and timeline affect how the visit is prepared.

Your request
Focused questions
For you
No fee
Availability
Confirmed when you request
A few focused questions, then your contact details. The file then shows the options genuinely available for your project.
Free for the homeowner, options subject to local availability.
No. Observe from the ground or inside, place a container under a leak if needed and request a professional inspection. Safety comes before the perfect photo.
Repair or replace the roof?
The decision depends on damage extent, age and overall condition. Request an on-site assessment and a clear description of the proposed work.
What should I do after a storm?
Stay off the roof and document signs from a safe location. If water is entering, protect belongings and request an assessment promptly.
What happens after my request?
Your file shows the options genuinely eligible for your project, with what each contractor actually published. You then request the visit or book the slot that suits you, in the calendar of the contractor you choose. When no slot is published, the Nordis team helps you with the next step. If no option is available in your area, the file says so plainly: neither a response nor a date is promised.
