How to Determine If You Have a JHBP Roofing Product Installed on Your Home.
JHBP manufactured its roofing products from color blended fiber cement to produce a roofing product with a uniform ¼" thickness.
JHBP utilized only three patterns; Hardishake, Hardislate, and a limited production of Hardishingle.
IDENTIFYING MARKS
JHBP utilized no marks or stamps on the edge or back of its products. JHBP relied on the product thickness, unique patterns, and uniform color blending to identify its products.
PRODUCTION DATES
JHBP roofing products were manufactured and installed primarily as a replacement roofing product from 1989 through Summer of 2001.
Hardishake 1989 to 2001 Hardislate 1994 to 2001 Hardishingle 1998 to 1999

To determine if you have any of these products on your home,
- ask the builder of your property or the roofer that installed your roof;
- check your records for the sales receipts for the roofing product you purchased;
- measure the product thickness and if it is ¼" thick, has uniform color blending throughout the shake and matches the specifications of any of these products, then you may submit a sample to the Claims Administrator for final verification.
