Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights installs James Hardie fiber cement siding — the most popular fiber cement brand in America. James Hardie products are Engineered for Climate, with HZ5 formulations designed specifically for the freeze-thaw cycles, moisture, and temperature extremes of the Northeast.
Every James Hardie siding product is noncombustible per ASTM E136, resists moisture damage, and holds no appeal for pests like woodpeckers or termites. The 30-year non-prorated limited transferable substrate warranty is one of the strongest in the industry. When paired with James Hardie’s exclusive ColorPlus Technology — a factory-applied, multi-coat, baked-on finish available in over 700 colors — you get a 15-year finish warranty covering peeling, cracking, and chipping.
HardiePlank is the most popular fiber cement siding in America and the cornerstone of the James Hardie product line. Available in two widths — 7.25 inches and 8.25 inches — at 144 inches long and 5/16 inch thick, HardiePlank delivers the classic horizontal lap siding look with unmatched durability.
Six texture options let you match any architectural style: Select Cedarmill for a woodgrain look, Smooth for a clean contemporary profile, Beaded Cedarmill and Beaded Smooth for traditional charm, and Custom Colonial Roughsawn and Custom Colonial Smooth for historically inspired homes.
HardiePlank is available with ColorPlus Technology in over 700 made-to-order finishes across the Dream Collection and Statement Collection color lines — including the 2026 Color of the Year, Iron Gray. Primed options are also available for field painting. The 30-year non-prorated substrate warranty and 15-year ColorPlus finish warranty protect your investment for decades.
HardieShingle siding replicates the look of cedar shingles in noncombustible fiber cement. Three distinct profiles are available: Straight Edge for a clean, uniform shingle wall, Staggered Edge for a more rustic hand-laid appearance, and Half-Rounds for the classic scalloped fish-scale look popular on Victorian and Craftsman homes.
HardieShingle panels measure 48 inches long by 15.25 inches high at 1/4 inch thick, with a 6-inch exposure. Individual shingles are available in widths from 4.2 inches to 10 inches for custom applications. HardieShingle is perfect for accents, gable ends, dormers, and full-facade installations in cottage and craftsman styles. Same 30-year warranty and ColorPlus options as all Hardie products.
HardiePanel delivers the modern farmhouse board-and-batten aesthetic in durable fiber cement. Panels are available in 4-by-8, 4-by-9, and 4-by-10 foot sizes at 5/16 inch thick. Three textures are offered: Select Cedarmill, Smooth, and Sierra 8 with vertical grooves at 8-inch spacing.
When paired with HardieTrim Batten strips at 12-, 16-, 24-, or 48-inch spacing, HardiePanel creates the classic board-and-batten look that has become one of the most popular exterior styles in new construction and renovation. The 30-year substrate warranty and 15-year ColorPlus finish warranty apply.
HardieTrim fiber cement trim boards complete any Hardie siding installation with matching door and window casings, corner boards, frieze boards, and decorative accents. Available in 4/4 and 5/4 thicknesses with multiple width options, HardieTrim is noncombustible and completely pest-proof. ColorPlus factory finish or primed options are available to match your siding.
ColorPlus Technology is James Hardie’s exclusive factory-applied finish system. Multiple coats of color are applied in a controlled factory environment and baked between coats, creating a bond with the fiber cement substrate that is far more consistent, durable, and fade-resistant than any field-applied paint.
Over 700 colors are available across the Dream Collection and Statement Collection, including the 2026 Color of the Year: Iron Gray. The 15-year ColorPlus finish warranty covers peeling, cracking, and chipping — issues that frequently plague field-painted siding within just a few years.
