James Hardie Shingle Costs

When considering James Hardie shingle costs, it’s important to factor in the long-term value and the “look” you are going for. Shingle Shake siding will be a little bit more than the standard lap siding profile, but when you are choosing a product that has a warranty of 30-years, we recommend you price it out if you have any interest. The durability and low maintenance of this material should save homeowners money over time. Costs vary depending on your home’s size, design complexity, and whether shingles are used as accents or full siding. The best way to get an accurate estimate is through a free consultation with our team.
