Full Andersen 100 Series Fibrex Window Replacement | Complete Siding and Exterior Repaint in Black and White
This Rosedale project centered on a full window replacement using the Andersen 100 Series line. We chose Fibrex composite frames because they resist the swelling and warping that plague older Austin homes. Units ran from standard sizes up to oversized openings past 132 united inches. The black exterior with white interior gave the 78722 home a modern, energy-smart update.

The siding phase followed the windows and included a complete exterior repaint. We sealed frame edges with Sherwin-Williams Power House 60-year white caulk for lasting weather protection. Colored frames got Dap Dynaflex 230 clear caulk to keep clean lines. The finished black exterior stands up to cedar pollen, hail, and Central Texas sun.
The homeowner found Austin Pro through an internet search and reached out in mid-April 2025. We logged the lead on April 15 and moved it to an active prospect the next day. The early conversation focused on replacing aging windows and updating the home's exterior look.
Our window technician measured every opening on site before anything was ordered. Several exceeded 132 united inches, which flagged them as oversized and shaped the order. We also checked frame condition and found openings pulled out of square from years of limestone soil movement.
We approved the project on April 30, 2025 after finalizing the Andersen 100 Series selection in Fibrex. The homeowner chose a black exterior with white interior, which guided our caulk and sealant plan. Window and material orders followed in May.
Windows arrived and went in during August 2025, set level with closed-cell foam around each frame. The crew sealed joints with the appropriate caulk and cleaned every line. Siding and exterior painting ran as a multi-day project through September.
We completed a final walk-through in early September to confirm the fit and finish across every elevation. The project was invoiced on October 7, 2025 and closed out on October 23. The home ended with tighter, quieter windows and a fresh black-and-white exterior.
We replaced every window and refreshed the full exterior on this Rosedale home in Austin, TX, moving it from tired 1990s builder-grade to a crisp black-and-white profile that fits the neighborhood. The Andersen 100 Series windows and new siding turned a dated house into one of the sharper elevations on the block.
The original windows had reached the end of their run. Seals had failed, and the older frames let in both heat and street noise.
Rosedale sits full of homes from the 1980s through the 2000s, and this one showed its age at the openings. Air leaks around aging windows are a common problem here.
Our measure tech walked every opening before we ordered a single window. Several openings ran past 132 united inches, which put them into oversized territory and changed how we planned the install.
Here is the part homeowners often miss. Big window openings on older Austin homes rarely sit perfectly square, because limestone soil shifts and settles over decades. If you order stock windows without measuring each opening, you end up shimming and caulking gaps that never seal right. We logged a technician measure fee on this job for exactly that reason, and it saved us headaches during install.
We went with the Andersen 100 Series because of its Fibrex composite frame. Fibrex is a blend of wood fiber and polymer, and it holds its shape when the mercury climbs past 100 degrees. Cheap vinyl can soften and bow in that kind of sustained heat, especially on a black frame that soaks up sun. The dark exterior was a design call the homeowner wanted, so a stable material mattered even more here.
Sealing was its own decision. We used Sherwin-Williams Power House 60-year white caulk on the main joints for a long service life. On the colored frames we switched to Dap Dynaflex 230 clear caulk, so the sealant disappears against the black instead of leaving white lines.
We ordered the windows in May and installed them in August, once every unit arrived and passed our check. The crew set each window level, foamed the perimeter, then sealed and trimmed.
Siding and exterior painting followed in September as a multi-day push. We ran a final walk-through in early September and closed the job out in October.
The home feels cooler and quieter, and the new facade reads clean from the street. Black windows and siding against white interiors gave it a look that matches the newer builds moving into Rosedale.
Fibrex stays dimensionally stable in extreme heat, which matters on a dark frame under direct Texas sun. Vinyl is cheaper up front, but it can flex and lose its seal over years of triple-digit afternoons.
We placed the window order in May, installed in August, then ran siding and paint through September. The job was invoiced in early October and formally closed on October 23, 2025.
This combined windows, siding, and painting job landed in the $75,000 to $100,000 range. Scope, opening sizes, and material choices all move that number, so every home gets its own estimate.
Yes. Andersen backs the 100 Series line, and our sealing materials carry long service ratings, including the 60-year Power House caulk on the main joints.
Austin Pro crafts exteriors that not only captivate but also promise steadfast protection and reliability, embodying the vibrant spirit of Austin in every facade. Your home's exterior is its silent storyteller and first impression; let us help it speak volumes without uttering a word.
