Full James Hardie HardiePlank Fiber Cement Siding Replacement | New Andersen Glass Patio Door with Full Exterior Repaint
This Cherrywood project centered on a full James Hardie fiber cement siding replacement. We chose HardiePlank lap siding because it resists warping, rot, and hail damage common in Central Texas. The scope also included a new Andersen glass patio door to tie the back of the home together. Fresh paint went on shortly after install, giving the 78722 home a clean, durable finish.

The homeowner found us through our website and reached out on May 9, 2023. We talked through their concerns about the aging exterior and the wear it had taken from years of Austin heat and hail.
We inspected the existing cladding and looked closely at how the older exterior was holding up. Cherrywood homes of this era often show cracking and moisture damage, and this one was no exception. We flagged fiber cement as the right long-term fix for the climate.
After walking the homeowner through material options and pricing, the project was approved on May 25, 2023. We confirmed the James Hardie HardiePlank selection, planned the new Andersen glass door, and set the paint scope with Sherwin Williams products.
Siding work kicked off on 8/25 and ran across several days for the full-home wrap. Once the boards were set and flashed, we installed the Andersen glass door and moved into painting shortly after. The crew ran a punch list on 9/19 to catch any final details.
We completed the job on October 9, 2023, with a full walkthrough of the new exterior. The home now has a durable, freshly painted fiber cement shell built for Central Texas weather.
We stripped and replaced the full exterior of this Cherrywood home with James Hardie fiber cement siding, added a new Andersen glass door, and finished the job with a fresh exterior repaint. The home now stands up to Austin heat and hail with a tight, low-maintenance shell.
Cherrywood is full of homes built decades back, and older wood cladding takes a beating here. Between 100°-plus summers and spring hail, the original siding had reached the end of its life.
Once we pulled the old cladding, we got a real look at the wall's condition. Older Austin homes often hide surprises behind the siding, and limestone-heavy soil movement can stress the framing over time. We checked the sheathing and flashing before anything new went up, because siding is only as good as what sits behind it. Skipping that step is the mistake most homeowners never see coming. We made sure the substrate was sound so the new James Hardie boards would sit tight and shed water properly.
We installed HardiePlank lap siding, a fiber cement product engineered for exactly this climate. Wood rots and vinyl can warp in extreme heat, but fiber cement does neither.
Siding work started on 8/25 and ran over multiple days, since a full-home wrap takes careful sequencing. Each course was set, flashed, and fastened before painting began. Sherwin Williams paint went on shortly after the boards were up, sealing the surface against UV and moisture. This two-step approach matters more than people think. Painting fiber cement correctly protects the material and locks in that clean, uniform look for years, so we did not rush it.
The home now has a tight, uniform exterior that shrugs off Austin's worst weather. The new door brightens the back of the house and improves the flow to the outdoors.
The homeowner first contacted us in May 2023, approval came on May 25, and the job completed October 9, 2023. Siding install and painting themselves ran across late summer, with the punch list wrapped in mid-September.
It handles our climate extremes without warping, rotting, or cracking under hail. That durability is why we recommend James Hardie for so many older Central Texas exteriors.
This full siding replacement with a new door and repaint fell in the $40k–$50k range. Final pricing depends on home size, condition of the substrate, and material selections.
