Hardie® Shingle Siding in Raleigh, NC

What Is Hardie® Shingle Siding?

A Classic Look with Modern Durability

Hardie® shingle siding is a popular choice for homeowners who want to add texture and character to their home’s exterior. Designed to replicate the look of traditional cedar shingles, this siding style offers a timeless appearance without the maintenance typically associated with other siding options.

At Robert Gordon Services, we install HardieShingle® siding, a fiber cement product from James Hardie® that combines classic design with long-lasting performance. Homeowners throughout Raleigh, Cary, Durham, Apex, Holly Springs, and the greater Triangle area often choose this option to enhance architectural details such as gables, dormers, and accent walls.

We also work with homeowners in surrounding communities, bringing the same level of care and attention to projects across the Triangle.
Unlike traditional wood shingles, fiber cement shingles hold up better against moisture, insects, and even common issues like woodpecker damage or intrusion from small pests and critters, which is especially important for homes in areas with heavy tree coverage.

Whether you’re planning a full exterior update or looking to incorporate Hardie shingle siding installation as part of a larger design, our team helps bring your vision to life.

Amazing company!! His pricing was competitive and his quote very detailed. His workers showed up on time and were meticulous in their work. He kept in constant contact with us throughout the project. The issues that arise with any construction project were handled immediately and to our satisfaction. The James Hardie material they used was superior to anything else we reviewed. The pre-painted option was exactly what they offered. When done, they left their work areas spotless. We are so pleased with beautiful transformation of our home. I would recommend this company without reservation.

We'd been wanting to replace the old, crumbling masonite siding on our home for awhile, and Robert Gordon Services, Inc. did a professional job completing the project to our satisfaction. His prices were competitive. What I appreciated most was Robert's quick responsiveness; he was easy to talk to, easily reachable, and willing to accommodate needs that arose during the project. We've since received many compliments from neighbors as well! Thank you, Robert and team for a job well done! Much appreciated.

I can’t say enough amazing things about this painting company. I had a last-minute project that absolutely had to get done on a tight timeline, and they stepped in without hesitation. From the very first interaction, they were responsive, accommodating, and genuinely cared about helping me out of a stressful situation. They showed up promptly and got right to work, and it was clear from the start that they take a lot of pride in what they do. The attention to detail was outstanding—clean lines, smooth finishes, and a level of precision that really made the final result stand out. They didn’t cut corners, and they made sure everything was done the right way. Beyond the quality of their work, they were an absolute pleasure to deal with. Friendly, respectful, and professional throughout the entire process, they made what could have been a hectic experience feel easy and seamless. It’s rare to find a team that combines skill, reliability, and such a positive attitude. On top of all that, their pricing was more than fair, especially considering the last-minute nature of the job and the high-quality results they delivered. I truly felt like I got incredible value. If you’re looking for painters who are dependable, talented, and go above and beyond for their clients, I would recommend them without hesitation. I will definitely be using them again in the future!

I’m building a home at the beach but didn’t want to drive down there just to pick the color of the siding. Robert helped me greatly by directing me to several of the beautiful houses that he completed. He even agreed to meet with me to give me a list of the homes to look at. Very nice gentleman

Robert and his team are great! His team painted our home in the past and we just had them stain our deck. The deck was new a few years ago, but then life happened and we never got around to staining. His team did an amazing job cleaning and prepping the deck and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. Pricing has always been fair (more than fair actually) , his crew thorough, and Robert is very responsive.

Robert Gordon and his crew did an amazing job replacing our old cedar siding with new Hardie Plank. It was mesmerizing to watch the crew at work; they have a smooth and efficient approach when it comes to measuring and installing the planks. They also installed new window and door trim, which was painted beautifully by another member of Robert's team. I can't recommend Robert Gordon Services more highly. The communication, organization and professionalism are second to none.

We made the decision it was time to re-side our home and knew that we wanted Hardie plank. After interviewing 3 different companies recommended by Hardie, we chose to work with Robert Gordon, and we are very glad we did! Robert spent a lot of time with us: looking at the house, describing what we could expect of a Hardie plank install and taking about his services. His estimate was prompt AND extremely reasonable compared to the other estimates. His team, who are employees, not subs, worked long days in the cold, took their time to make sure things were done correctly and did a great job. Our home looks BEAUTIFUL! We highly recommend Robert Gordon and his team!

Robert and his team just completed re-siding with Hardie plank and painting our whole house and I could not be happier! 1) - Robert EMPLOYS his team - they are not subcontractors. That part by itself is amazing as I could tell the team took their time to do things well and correctly, regardless of the amount of time it took. 2) Amazingly, Robert was the cheaper quote I received after calling several well-known siding contractors in the area. Robert is clear, communicative, budget-aware, and the work is QUALITY. Don't hesitate to give him a call!

WOW! After getting many quotes from many different companies, we decided to move forward with Robert and his team for re-siding our home--and boy, are we glad we did! Robert was friendly, informative, and reasonably priced. His team was FANTASTIC. Carlos and his team take great pride in their work, and Hector's painting is impeccable. I can't say enough positive things about Robert Gordon Services! I would hire them again in a heartbeat!

Benefits of Hardie® Shingle Siding

Why Homeowners Choose Shingle-Style Siding

Hardie shingle siding offers a unique combination of visual appeal and performance, making it a great option for homes throughout the Triangle.

Key Benefits

  • Classic Appearance: Replicates the look of traditional cedar shingles

  • All-Weather Durability: Performs reliably in changing weather conditions

  • Advanced Protection: Resists moisture, fire, insects, and damage from woodpeckers or small pests and critters

  • Low Maintenance: Requires less upkeep than wood shingles

  • Design Flexibility: Works well as a primary siding or accent feature

  • Available with ColorPlus® Technology, which includes a 15-year limited warranty on the finish for long-term value

For many homeowners, this combination of durability and reduced maintenance is especially important in the Triangle, where humidity, tree coverage, and seasonal weather can take a toll on traditional materials.

With professional siding installation, homeowners can enjoy the charm of James Hardie® shingle siding without the ongoing maintenance concerns of natural materials.

Choosing Your Shingle Profile

Staggered Edge vs. Straight Edge HardieShingle®

When selecting your Hardie® shingle siding, you have two primary design paths: Staggered Edge and Straight Edge.

  • Staggered Edge: This profile creates a more rustic, hand-crafted look. The uneven bottom edges mimic the look of traditional wood shingles that have been weathered over time, making it a perfect choice for cottage-style homes or as a bold accent in gables.

  • Straight Edge: If you prefer a cleaner, more tailored appearance, the Straight Edge profile provides a uniform look. It offers the texture of cedar shingles but with a contemporary, organized symmetry that works beautifully on modern traditional homes throughout Raleigh and the Triangle area.

Our team will walk you through these options in person to help you choose a style that fits both your home and your overall exterior design.
