They seem to be referring largely to decks here which isn't an issue in my
case, but what is a "nail pop"? Any way it could apply to a roofing job?


You can have nail pops on a roof. The nail head pops up through the
shingle. In most cases they occur because a nail was missed when the roof
was stripped. The other area for nail pops that no one has mentioned is
drywall nail pops. It is possible to have nail pops in your drywall ceiling
as a result of a roofing job.

Nail pops that occur in a new drywall job are usually, but not always, the
result of the nail not being properly set. Most drywall guys try to limit
the recalls because a lot of consumers abuse the contractor by calling them
out a year after the work to fix a few nail pops and then wanting a new
paint job out of the repair.

I agree with the others who responded. RUN, don't just walk away from this
company.

The poster who provided the links to the "standard" contracts gave you some
good links.
