Full James Hardie HardiePlank Cedar Mill Siding Replacement | Complete Sherwin Williams Exterior Repaint Including Trim and Gutters
This North Austin siding project used James Hardie HardiePlank in the 8.25-inch Select Cedar Mill profile. The fiber cement is primed and built to resist warping, moisture, and hail damage. We chose it for its strength in 100-degree summers and its true wood-grain texture. The home now has durable, low-maintenance siding rated for Central Texas weather.

The exterior painting phase covered every siding face plus the trim details. We used Sherwin Williams products across fascia, soffit, gutters, and downspouts. Paint was applied by square footage and by linear foot on the metal runs. The finish protects the new Hardie board and ties the whole exterior together in one clean color scheme.
The homeowner found Austin Pro through an internet search and reached out about replacing worn exterior siding. That first contact came in late September 2022, with the lead logged on September 26 and moving to a prospect two days later.
We inspected the existing exterior and confirmed the old cladding was past its service life. The assessment flagged fascia and soffit areas that would need prep before new siding could be installed properly.
We walked the homeowner through the James Hardie HardiePlank option and the full exterior paint plan. The project was approved on July 28, 2023, with the Select Cedar Mill profile and Sherwin Williams finish selected.
The crew completed the full tear-off, installed the 8.25-inch primed fiber cement, and painted every surface on October 18, 2023. Fascia, soffit, gutters, and downspouts were all coated, with two rounds of yard cleanup during the work.
After a final walkthrough, the home stood with a uniform, freshly painted exterior ready for Central Texas weather. The project was invoiced on October 18, 2023, and formally closed on November 9, 2023.
We replaced the full exterior siding on a North Austin home in the 78753 ZIP and finished it with a complete exterior repaint. The old cladding came off, James Hardie fiber cement went up, and the whole house got a fresh, protected coat of paint.
Older North Austin homes take a beating. Summers push past 100 degrees, spring storms drop hail, and cedar pollen coats everything for weeks. The original siding here had lost its fight with all three.
When we pulled the old material, we got a clear read on the home's real condition. Some fascia and soffit areas needed prep before anything new could go on. That is common on homes this age, and it is exactly the kind of thing a quick surface repaint would hide instead of fix. We planned for it up front so the new siding sat on sound edges. Getting the trim right first is what keeps water out later, and it is where a lot of cheaper jobs cut corners.
We installed HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill in the 8.25-inch width, primed and ready for paint. Fiber cement was the clear pick for this climate. It won't warp in 100-degree heat, it shrugs off hail far better than wood or vinyl, and it holds paint for years.
The Cedar Mill face gives that natural wood look homeowners want. Limestone soil and shifting foundations are a real thing here, so a rigid, stable cladding matters more than most people expect.
Once the Hardie board was up, painting tied the whole house together. We used Sherwin Williams products and coated every exterior surface, not just the field siding.
Painting the metal runs to match is a detail that gets skipped often. Doing it here means the gutters blend in instead of standing out.
The install and paint happened fast once materials were staged. Tear-off, new siding, and the full repaint were completed in a single day on October 18, 2023.
Fiber cement handles our extremes better than most siding. It resists the swelling and cracking that heat and humidity cause, and it takes hail without denting like softer materials.
This siding and painting job fell in the $15,000–$20,000 range. Final pricing depends on square footage, trim work, and how much prep the old surface needs.
Yes. We did a full tear-off rather than laying new board over the old. That let us inspect and prep the fascia and soffit properly before the Hardie went up.
The HardiePlank comes primed but needs a finish coat to seal it. Painting soon after install locks out moisture and gives you the color and protection in one visit.
