James Hardie HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill Siding Installation | Full Exterior Repaint with Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint
This Anderson Mill project replaced tired siding with James Hardie HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill boards at 6.25 inches. We layered new 7/16-inch OSB wall sheathing underneath for a flat, secure nailing surface. Fiber cement was chosen because it resists warping, rot, and hail far better than wood. The home now has a durable, low-maintenance exterior suited to Austin summers.

We coated the new siding in Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint after install wrapped in late May. Primed Select Cedar Mill boards gave the paint a clean, uniform surface to grip. SuperPaint was picked for its fade resistance under 100-degree Texas sun. The finished walls look sharp and are sealed against moisture and pollen buildup.
The homeowner found Austin Pro through an internet search and reached out on May 10, 2026. They were dealing with worn siding on their Anderson Mill home and wanted a lasting replacement rather than another patch job.
We moved the lead to a prospect on May 12, 2026 and inspected the exterior in person. Behind the aging boards we found soft, uneven sheathing that needed to be addressed before any new siding could go up.
We scoped a full fiber cement re-clad in James Hardie Select Cedar Mill plus a complete exterior repaint. The homeowner approved the plan on May 15, 2026, landing the project in the $10k–$15k range.
Crews installed new 7/16-inch OSB sheathing to true up the walls, then hung the 6.25-inch HardiePlank boards over several days in late May. Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint followed once the siding was clean and set.
We ran two yard cleanups and a punch-out pass, wrapping the project on June 8, 2026.
We stripped and re-clad an Anderson Mill home with James Hardie fiber cement siding, then painted the full exterior in Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint. The finished walls in this Austin, TX neighborhood are flatter, tougher, and built for the heat.
Many homes in this pocket of northwest Austin date to the 1980s and 1990s. Their original siding starts to swell, crack, and peel after decades of sun and storms. This client found us through an internet search in early May and wanted a permanent fix.
Once the old boards came down, we got a real look at the wall structure. The existing sheathing had soft spots and uneven planes that would have telegraphed through any new siding. That is the part homeowners rarely see coming. If you nail fresh boards over a wavy base, the finished wall looks rippled no matter how good the material is. So we installed new 7/16-inch OSB wall sheathing across the affected sections to reset a flat, solid surface before a single Hardie board went up.
We went with James Hardie HardiePlank in the Select Cedar Mill texture at a 6.25-inch reveal. Fiber cement was the clear pick for this climate. It will not rot, warp, or feed the moisture that wood siding traps during our humid spring storms.
Paint followed once the siding was set and clean. We coated the primed boards with Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint, which grips fiber cement well and holds color against harsh UV. The pre-primed Hardie surface meant the topcoat laid down smooth and even.
The home now wears a flat, consistent exterior that reads brand-new from the street. Two rounds of yard cleanup and punch-out work closed the job on June 8, 2026. Every seam, edge, and painted board got a final check before we called it done.
This one moved from approval on May 15 to a finished exterior by June 8. The Hardie install ran across multiple days in late May, with painting following once boards were set.
Wood siding swells and rots in our wet springs and can split under hail. Fiber cement holds its shape through 100-degree heat and heavy storms, which is why we specified HardiePlank here.
This retail job landed in the $10k–$15k range and covered new OSB sheathing, full Hardie siding, and a complete SuperPaint finish. Delivery fees, materials, and two punch-out visits were all part of the scope.
No. A quality topcoat like SuperPaint on primed Hardie board holds up for years, far longer than paint over old wood siding. That lower maintenance is a big reason homeowners here make the switch.
