Roof Replacement Photo Album: IKO Nordic Class 4 Shingles | Vita Roofing Roof Installation
Not all asphalt shingles are created equal, and when Vita Roofing's Austin sat down with homeowner Connie during her roof replacement consultation, he made that distinction clear. Connie's existing IKO Dynasty shingles had served their purpose, but the opportunity to upgrade to the IKO Nordic Class 4 impact-resistant shingle was a smart investment given the region's hail, wind, and ice exposure. The IKO Nordic earns its Class 4 rating through superior impact resistance, providing a level of protection that standard architectural shingles simply can't match.
Austin walked Connie through the full replacement scope under Vita Roofing's Home Show Upgrade: a complete tear-off of all existing layers down to the deck, inspection and replacement of any damaged OSB, plywood, or 1x6 boards, and installation of a new synthetic felt underlayment nailed with approved fasteners throughout.
Every detail of Connie's replacement was handled to code and with long-term performance in mind. Ice and water shield was installed in all valleys and extended two feet past the interior wall, ensuring protection at the most vulnerable areas of the roof. New pipe boots, roof vents, re-flashing, painted drip edge, and ridge cap on all hips and ridges rounded out the system before Vita's crew completed a full debris haul and cleanup.
The finished roof is backed by a manufacturer's Limited Lifetime Warranty on materials and Vita Roofing's own 5-Year Workmanship Warranty, giving Connie lasting peace of mind.
