James Hardie HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill Siding Installation | 5-Inch Seamless Aluminum Gutters with Debris Screens
This Great Hills siding project used James Hardie HardiePlank in the 8.25" Select Cedar Mill profile. The boards arrived primed, then got painted on site with Sherwin Williams Super Paint. Fiber cement was chosen because it shrugs off Austin's 100-degree summers and hail far better than wood. The result is a low-maintenance front that holds its color and won't warp.

We installed 5" seamless aluminum gutters across all four sides of this Great Hills home. Each run drains through 3" x 4" downspouts, which are generous for a single-story roof. Standard gutter screens keep out cedar pollen and oak debris common to the 78759 area. Seamless runs mean fewer joints and fewer leaks over the years.
The homeowner found Austin Pro through an internet search and reached out on March 17, 2026. That first conversation focused on tired front siding and a plan to stop the repaint cycle for good.
We inspected the front elevation and found sun-faded boards, soft spots from moisture, and debris packed around the garage jamb. Those findings shaped the scope: full re-clad in fiber cement plus a fresh gutter system.
We walked through James Hardie profiles, the Select Cedar Mill look, and a Sherwin Williams Super Paint finish. The homeowner approved the retail project on April 4, 2026, with siding, paint, and gutters bundled together.
Siding began May 5 and ran several days, with the double garage door jamb wrapped to seal a known weak point. Paint followed on the siding, fascia, soffit, and porch ceiling. The gutter crew then hung 5-inch seamless aluminum runs and downspouts in a single day.
Punch items and two yard cleanups wrapped on May 25, 2026, followed by a final walkthrough. The home was invoiced May 29 and the job closed out June 15, 2026, with James Hardie's product warranty in place.
We re-clad a Great Hills home in Austin with James Hardie HardiePlank fiber cement siding, then followed with 5-inch seamless aluminum gutters. The result is a fresh, sealed exterior built to handle Central Texas heat and hail.
Older homes around Great Hills often carry original wood or engineered siding that gives out after two decades of Texas sun. Heat, hail, and swelling from summer storms take a real toll. This homeowner wanted a fix that would stop the cycle of repainting and patching.
When we pulled the old cladding, the front elevation showed the usual North Austin story: sun-faded boards and soft spots where moisture had crept behind the paint. Cedar pollen and grit had also packed into gaps around the garage, which speeds up rot on wood trim. We wrapped the double garage door jamb to seal that weak point for good. Trim details like this get skipped by rushed crews, and that's exactly where the next leak starts. Sealing the jamb before new siding goes up is the difference between a ten-year job and a two-year callback.
We chose James Hardie HardiePlank in the 8.25" Select Cedar Mill profile because fiber cement handles Austin conditions that wood can't. It won't swell in humidity, won't feed termites, and holds paint through 100-degree summers. The Cedar Mill texture gives you the look of real wood grain without the upkeep.
Once the siding and paint cured, we brought in the gutter crew and finished the whole system in one day. We ran 5-inch seamless aluminum gutters on the front, right, left, and back of the home. Fewer seams means fewer places for water to sneak through over the years.
The home now has a sealed, low-maintenance front that will hold up to hail and heat for decades. We completed punch items and two yard cleanups on May 25, 2026. Everything got a final walkthrough before we called it done.
Fiber cement doesn't swell, crack, or rot the way wood does under our heat and sudden storms. It also resists hail and holds paint far longer, which cuts down on repaint cycles.
Siding work started May 5 and ran several days, followed by paint. Gutters went up in a single day once the siding was complete, with punch finished May 25, 2026.
This retail job fell in the $20k–$25k range. Final pricing depends on your home's size, the elevations covered, and gutter footage.
Great Hills sits near heavy cedar and oak cover, so debris builds up fast. Screens keep the runs clear and stop overflow that can undermine soil around the foundation.
