Happy Historian Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 When 3603 Bayshore was built, asbestos shingles were in vogue. Now that Ike has initiated restoration, I do not want to "staple up the Hardie siding" and slap coat coat of Sears Best white on it. Does anyone have experience with a shingle replacement product that has the same look? 1953 Photo After Ike stabilizing To replace broken framing this siding will need to be removed. The original was a light sage green (non-painted) and has been a consistent color with slight fading since 1951. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One potential solution would be to utilize Hardiplank fascia board applied to resemble the original asbestos installation. Note: You may have to have the existing siding removed by a certified asbestos removal sub-contractor. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelguy_73 Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Is this what you are looking for? http://www.gaf.com/Content/GAF/RES1/ROOF/weatherside.aspWe used the Purity shingle earlier this year to replace broken asbestos shingles on the side of our house. It is indistinguishable from the original and comes in the most popular styles. We got ours (in stock) from Olshan's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
