James Hardie HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill 8.25" Fiber Cement Siding | Vinyl Replacement Windows with New 8' Header Opening
We installed vinyl replacement windows on this Austin home in the 78704 area. The scope included creating a new window and door opening with an 8-foot header. Vinyl frames resist warping in 100-degree heat and need little upkeep. The homeowner got tighter seals, lower energy loss, and a refreshed look.

We installed James Hardie fiber cement siding on this Barton Hills home. The HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill 8.25-inch profile gives a classic wood-grain look without the rot. Fiber cement shrugs off hail, cedar pollen, and Austin's punishing summer sun. The result is a durable, low-maintenance exterior built for Central Texas.
The homeowner found us through an internet search and reached out on January 13, 2025. They wanted to replace aging windows and refresh the siding on their Barton Hills home. We talked through goals, including adding a brand-new opening on one wall.
We moved the project to the prospect stage on January 20, 2025. Our team reviewed the existing windows and siding and confirmed the home needed a new framed opening. A window technician measured each opening to size the units precisely.
The homeowner approved the scope on January 27, 2025. We selected vinyl replacement windows and James Hardie HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill 8.25-inch siding. The plan covered framing an 8-foot header for the new opening plus full trim work.
Our crew completed the work in a single day on June 3, 2025. They framed the new opening, set the 8-foot unit, and trimmed it inside and out. Closed-cell spray foam and Sherwin-Williams caulk sealed every seam against heat and water.
We invoiced and completed the project on June 3, 2025, after a final walkthrough. The home now has tighter seals and a durable fiber cement exterior. The job closed on July 21, 2025.
We installed vinyl replacement windows and James Hardie fiber cement siding on a home in Austin's Barton Hills neighborhood. The job included framing a brand-new opening with an 8-foot header and wrapping the exterior in a tougher, better-looking skin.
The older windows leaked air and let the summer heat pour in. This homeowner wanted tighter seals and a cleaner look, plus a brand-new opening on one wall.
We paired vinyl windows with James Hardie fiber cement siding. Both handle Austin's 100-degree summers, hail, and heavy cedar pollen far better than wood.
Fiber cement resists the warping and cracking that hits wood siding hard in Central Texas. Vinyl frames don't swell or stick when the heat climbs.
Framing came first. Our crew built the new opening with an 8' header, then set and trimmed the unit before turning to the windows and siding.
The whole job wrapped in a single day on June 3, 2025. That's the payoff of careful measuring up front.
The home now has a sealed, energy-smart envelope and a sharp new look. The new opening adds light and flow, and the Sherwin Williams caulk keeps water out for years.

Fiber cement resists rot, hail damage, and the cedar pollen that coats homes each winter. It also holds up under our 100-degree summers without warping like wood siding does.
This job fell in the $5,000 to $10,000 range. Final price depends on framing, the size of new openings, and the siding square footage.
The OSI closed-cell spray foam seals gaps that let hot air leak in. Paired with the 60-year caulk, it keeps the new windows tight and energy-efficient.
