They were very quick in getting the shingles down and the new ones up. Either way shingles had to come off, I think maybe the material was just much more expensive?
To put real numbers out there, a few years ago, it cost us (the condo association, not just me!) $60,000 for all shingles removed, tyvek put up, new shingles put up, painting of shingles and trim, plus repair of lots of window sills, deck boards, and upper fascia/molding (moulding?). I think the Hardiplank installation alone was quoted around $75,000 and that didn't include any of the repairs that needed to be done as well. (Also, this was a standard triple decker, nothing super fancy). Obviously Hardiplank didn't need to be painted, so the cost might not have gone up much more, but the condo association felt at that time they couldn't foot the difference.
