Complete James Hardie HardiePlank Cedarmill 8.25" Fiber Cement Siding Installation | Full Exterior Repaint with Sherwin Williams UV-Stable Coatings
This Maple Run siding project used James Hardie HardiePlank in the Cedarmill 8.25" profile. Fiber cement was chosen for its resistance to heat, hail, and moisture common in Austin's climate. The wider board reveal modernized the home's exterior while adding real durability. The result is a low-maintenance shell built to outlast the original 1980s-era siding.

After the siding install, we painted the full exterior with Sherwin Williams coatings. The paint system seals and protects the fresh HardiePlank surface against UV fade. Color selection matched the home's existing trim and roofline for a clean, cohesive finish. The final coat gives lasting curb appeal that stands up to 100-degree summers.
This homeowner found Austin Pro through an internet search and reached out in January 2022. The first conversation covered the aging exterior and the goal of a longer-lasting siding solution built for Central Texas weather.
Our team inspected the home's exterior to gauge the condition of the original siding. We found worn, weathered boards and areas where moisture had begun working behind the surface. That assessment confirmed a full fiber cement replacement made more sense than patch repairs.
After the evaluation, we walked through material options and settled on James Hardie HardiePlank in the Cedarmill 8.25" profile. The homeowner approved the project on February 14, 2022. We also planned the exterior repaint to follow the siding work using Sherwin Williams coatings.
On-site work ran April 25 through April 28, 2022. Crews stripped the old siding and installed the new HardiePlank over three days, detailing seams and transitions for weather resistance. The full exterior paint coat went on once the fiber cement was in place.
The project finished on April 28, 2022, and was invoiced the same day. A final walkthrough confirmed clean lines, sealed transitions, and a fresh, unified color across the home.
We re-clad this Maple Run home in Austin, TX with James Hardie fiber cement siding, then finished it with a full exterior repaint. The result is a tougher, cleaner exterior built for Central Texas heat and hail.
Like many homes in this pocket of southwest Austin, the original siding had aged past its prime. Years of 100-degree summers and spring hail leave older boards cracked, faded, and warped.
Our evaluation confirmed the exterior was overdue for a full replacement rather than patch repairs. The old cladding had lost its ability to seal out water, and Austin's freeze-thaw swings only speed that decline. Homeowners often try to solve this with paint alone, but paint can't fix boards that are already splitting. We flagged the areas of moisture intrusion early so the new system could start on a clean, dry base. That inspection shaped the whole scope.
We installed James Hardie HardiePlank in the Cedarmill 8.25" profile. Fiber cement is the right call for Austin because it doesn't feed rot, resist hail poorly, or warp the way older wood-based siding does. The Cedarmill texture mimics real wood grain without the upkeep, and the wider 8.25-inch board gives a cleaner, more modern shadow line. That combination handles cedar pollen season, driving rain, and triple-digit heat far better than what came off the walls. It's a product we trust because we see how it holds up across Central Texas.
Crews worked on site from April 25 through April 28, 2022, with the siding taking three days before painting followed. Removing old material and installing fiber cement takes care, since the boards are heavier and cut differently than wood.
We painted the full exterior with Sherwin Williams coatings after the siding was complete. A quality paint system does more than add color here. It shields the fresh surface from UV fade and locks out moisture between the boards. The tones were picked to blend with the home's existing trim and roofline for a finished, cohesive look.
The on-site work ran four days, from April 25 to April 28, 2022. Siding took the first three days, and the exterior painting followed right after.
Austin punishes exteriors with heat, hail, and humidity swings. Fiber cement resists the warping, cracking, and rot that older materials suffer here, which means fewer repairs over the life of the home.
This job fell in the $10,000–$15,000 range. Final pricing depends on square footage, prep work, and paint scope, so every home is quoted individually.
The homeowner approved the work in February 2022 after reaching out earlier that winter. On-site work wrapped April 28, 2022, with the file closed the following month.
