Rotted fascia and sagging soffits usually start with a gutter that overflows. Here are the warning signs Austin homeowners miss, what causes the damage, and where a simple repair turns into a full replacement.
Read the GuideMost of what makes a fiber cement siding installation last happens in the first two days, then disappears behind the boards. Here's what a proper job looks like, from house wrap and kick-out flashing to nailing and clearances, and where the warranty-voiding shortcuts hide.
The typical range for our Central Texas window-only jobs is $6,000 to $18,500, an estimate from our own work and never a quote. Here's what pushes your price up or down, from glass packages to soft sills, and how to read competing quotes without the tax-credit fog.
Your siding isn't what keeps water out — the drainage plane behind it is, and your window openings are where that system holds or fails. Here's the building science case for replacing windows and siding at the same time, plus the honest rule for when splitting the projects actually makes sense.

Motorized louvered pergolas have moved from backyard novelty to mainstream expectation — and for good reason. One structure handles full sun, filtered shade, and driving rain without you leaving your chair. Here's what the market shift means, what to ask before you buy, and why the structural details matter more than the brochure.
The garage door isn't a background prop anymore — it's a full system covering smart tech, design, insulation, and security. Here's what changed in 2026, what the four decisions actually are, and the questions to ask before you buy.
Dark exterior paint used to mean a sweltering west wall — but near-infrared reflective pigments have quietly changed that equation. The 2026 "cool wall" colors on major paint decks can hit SRI scores that were impossible in older dark paints. Here's how to verify the science before you commit to a color.
Wood pergolas stripe sun, solid roofs block everything — and there's a third option quietly replacing both. Adjustable louvered aluminum (a.k.a. bioclimatic pergolas) give you open sky or rain cover on demand. Here's how the cost, lifespan, and trade-offs actually compare.
Asphalt shingles are still America's default roof — but homeowners doing the long-term math are increasingly choosing metal. From solar-ready standing seam to thermochromic coatings, here's what's actually new in 2026 and how the lifetime cost stacks up against shingles.
Garage door replacement ranked #1 out of 28 home improvement projects in Zonda's 2025 Cost vs. Value Report, recouping roughly 268% of its cost at resale — more than any kitchen or bathroom remodel. But that return depends entirely on buying the right door and installing it right. Here's what the data actually says and what most homeowners miss.
On most Cedar Park tract homes, the garage door takes up 30–40% of what a buyer sees from the curb — and in a softening 2026 market, that first impression decides whether they book a showing. A garage door replacement consistently ranks as the highest-ROI home improvement in the annual Cost vs. Value report, and in Central Texas it pays off in comfort too. Here's how to pick the right door, stay HOA-compliant, and actually move your home.
The federal 25C window tax credit is gone for 2026 installs — and most pages online haven't caught up. Here's what actually expired, what Texas rebates are coming, and why the right glass spec beats any government incentive for Austin homeowners anyway.
A standing seam metal roof in Austin costs roughly double a shingle roof — but in 2026, rising cooling bills, tightening insurance rules, and the expanded homestead exemption are quietly changing the calculus. Here's the honest break-even math for Austin homeowners who plan to stay put.
Storm chasers blanketed Austin after the May 28 hail event — but most of those urgent pitches are theater. Before you sign anything, know the two numbers that actually determine whether your roof needs to come off: your shingles' age and your policy's coverage type. One insurance deadline is real. Everything else is someone else's timeline.
A west-facing front door in Leander can hit 130°F on the surface — and most builder doors were never spec'd for that. This three-part test tells you in ninety seconds whether your door is fighting your AC or just quietly losing to Texas sun. Here's what a properly built ProVia fiberglass entry door does differently.
That hazy film trapped between your window panes isn't dirt — it's a dead seal, and Austin's brutal 100°F+ daily temperature swings are usually the culprit. Learn why Central Texas chews through insulated glass units faster than almost anywhere else, what bad installs look like, and how to tell whether your warranty actually covers it.
Fresh exterior paint in Buda, Kyle, and Dripping Springs often starts peeling before the second summer is over — and it's almost never the paint's fault. Surface temperature during application, bad prep, and Central Texas humidity swings are the real culprits. Here's exactly what goes wrong and how to stop it.
Scorpions, wasps, and June bugs aren't entering your Georgetown home through the door — they're slipping through failed window screens, worn sashes, and clogged weep holes.

Learn whether a $40 repair or full window replacement is the right call for your home.
Austin's hard freezes cause door warping, failed weatherstripping, and cracked glass seals that 105-degree summers never produce — and most homeowners misdiagnose the cause. Learn the three failure points that freeze-thaw whiplash creates, how to spot whether your door needs a quick fix or full replacement, and what a quality fiberglass door system does differently. Austin Pro Siding has replaced doors across the metro for over 20 years.
