How much will it cost to re-side my home?
The cost to re-side your home with James Hardie® siding products with ColorPlus® technology will depend on several things, such as the square footage of the siding required to re-side your house, what region of the country you live in, local labor costs and the condition of the siding materials you are replacing.

What if I want a color that isn’t part of the ColorPlus® color palette?
We designed our ColorPlus® color palette with the help of color expert, Leslie Harrington, to cater to environmental, architectural and cultural factors of each region. If the ColorPlus palette doesn’t have what you’re looking for, we still offer primed siding products that can be painted any color you’d like. For more information, please visit JamesHardie.com.
Can I paint over my ColorPlus® siding? What kind of paint do you recommend using?
While ColorPlus® technology provides the longest-lasting finish available from James Hardie, you can still paint over it at any time using traditional exterior 100% acrylic paint from the retailer of your choice.
