James Hardie 8.25" Select Cedar Mill Fiber Cement Siding Installation | Full Exterior Repaint with Sherwin Williams SuperPaint









We installed James Hardie 8.25" Select Cedar Mill fiber cement siding on this home in northwest Austin. The primed, woodgrain-textured panels resist warping, rot, and hail common across Central Texas. Fiber cement was chosen because it holds up to 100-degree summers far better than wood. The home now has a solid, long-lasting exterior with clean cedar-mill lines.

We painted the full exterior using Sherwin Williams SuperPaint for lasting color and weather protection. Coverage included the new siding, fascia and soffit, gutters, downspouts, garage doors, and porch ceiling. SuperPaint was picked for its fade resistance under intense Texas sun. The finished coats seal the siding and tie the whole house together.

The homeowner came to Austin Pro through a family and friend referral, with the lead first logged on August 30, 2022. Early conversations focused on replacing aging siding on their Copper Creek home and refreshing the full exterior.
We inspected the home and moved it to prospect status on October 7, 2022. The old cladding showed clear wear from years of Austin heat and storm exposure, so we recommended a full James Hardie fiber cement replacement paired with a complete repaint.
The homeowner reviewed the scope and approved the project on June 12, 2025. Selections locked in the 8.25" Select Cedar Mill profile, primed for paint, along with Sherwin Williams SuperPaint for every exterior surface.
On July 31, 2025, crews installed the primed Select Cedar Mill siding, then painted the new boards, fascia, soffit, garage doors, gutters, downspouts, and porch ceiling. The team ran two yard clean-ups and worked through punch items before leaving the site.
The project was completed, invoiced, and closed on July 31, 2025. The home came away with a durable fiber cement exterior and a uniform SuperPaint finish built to hold up against Central Texas heat and hail.
We re-clad and repainted a northwest Austin home in the 78729 area using James Hardie fiber cement siding and Sherwin Williams SuperPaint. Both jobs wrapped in a single day on July 31, 2025, leaving the home with a tough, weather-ready exterior.
Homes built through the 1980s and 2000s across northwest Austin often wear tired, splitting cladding by now. Decades of 100-degree summers, spring hail, and swings between wet and dry limestone soil take a toll. This home was ready for a material that would stop fighting the weather and start beating it.
Our first walk-through happened well before install day, back when the lead came in during 2022. The home sat in a mature Copper Creek pocket where summer sun hits hard and hail rolls through most springs. We flagged the siding as the priority and paired it with a full exterior repaint so every surface would match. That plan sat ready until the homeowner gave the green light in June 2025.
We went with James Hardie 8.25" Select Cedar Mill fiber cement, and the choice was deliberate. Fiber cement does not warp, rot, or feed the moisture-and-heat cycle that wrecks wood siding here. It also shrugs off hail far better than softer materials, which matters when Central Texas storms come through. The Cedar Mill texture keeps a natural woodgrain look without the upkeep real wood demands. We ordered the boards primed so the Sherwin Williams SuperPaint topcoat would bond clean and last.
Crews handled the full re-side and repaint on July 31, 2025, working the two trades in sequence. Once the new siding was up, painters coated every exterior surface for a unified finish. Nothing got skipped — from the porch ceiling overhead to the downspouts running to the ground.
The home now carries a solid fiber cement shell with a fresh, color-locked coat over every visible surface. It looks sharp, and it is built to ride out Austin summers and storm seasons for years. The homeowner got a low-maintenance exterior in a single work day.
It stays stable through triple-digit heat and does not rot when humidity and soil moisture swing. It also resists hail impact and pests, which wood siding cannot match here.
The siding and painting were both completed on July 31, 2025 — the full scope wrapped in one day after months of planning.
This job fell in the $15,000 to $20,000 range. Final pricing depends on home size, siding profile, and how much surface needs painting.
We painted the fascia, soffit, garage doors, gutters, downspouts, and the porch ceiling. Coating everything at once keeps the color even and protects each surface from the same weather.
