Complete James Hardie HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill Fiber Cement Siding Installation | Full Gutter Replacement with New OSB Wall Sheathing and Sherwin Williams Finish
This Maple Run siding project swapped aging cladding for James Hardie HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill in an 8.25-inch profile. We installed new 7/16-inch OSB wall sheathing first for a flat, solid base. The primed fiber cement was field-painted with Sherwin Williams Super Paint for a durable, uniform finish. Fiber cement was chosen because it holds up to Austin's 100-degree summers, hail, and swings in humidity far better than wood.

Alongside the new siding, we replaced the home's gutters in Maple Run, Austin. The old gutters were removed and disposed of by the linear foot, then reset to match the refreshed fascia line. Proper gutters matter on limestone-heavy Austin lots, where poor drainage stresses foundations. The new run channels storm runoff cleanly away from the home.
The homeowner found Austin Pro through our Local Service Ads and reached out on June 2, 2026. The first conversation covered the aging exterior and the plan to replace both siding and gutters on the Maple Run home.
We moved the lead to prospect on June 3, 2026, after evaluating the home's cladding, gutters, and fascia. The inspection confirmed the old siding was weathered and the gutters were near the end of their life, and it flagged the need for new wall sheathing underneath.
The project was approved on June 4, 2026, just two days after first contact. During planning we locked in James Hardie HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill, the 7/16-inch OSB sheathing, and the Sherwin Williams Super Paint color, along with the gutter removal scope.
Crews were on site from July 17 through July 20, 2026, a four-day window. Work moved from new OSB sheathing to hanging the 8.25-inch HardiePlank, wrapping the double garage door jambs, and setting the new gutters, with painting following the siding install.
We wrapped the job on July 20, 2026, with two yard cleanups and a final punch-out. The home was invoiced and closed the same day, leaving a fresh fiber cement exterior, painted fascia and porch ceiling, and gutters ready for the next Central Texas storm.
We replaced the exterior siding and gutters on this Maple Run home in Austin, TX, using James Hardie HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill. The finished exterior looks sharp, sits on a solid new sheathing base, and is built for Central Texas weather.
Many homes in this pocket of southwest Austin were built in the 1980s and 1990s. Their original cladding tends to fade, crack, and pull away from the wall over time. That opens the door to moisture and pests.
This home showed the usual wear you would expect from decades of sun and storms.
Siding jobs always tell you the truth once the old material comes off. On this home, we pulled the existing cladding and inspected the wall behind it before anything new went up. That is the step most homeowners never see, and it is where a job is won or lost. We chose to install fresh 7/16-inch OSB wall sheathing to give the new HardiePlank a flat, dependable surface to fasten to. Skip that base and you get wavy walls, loose panels, and gaps that let water in.
We went with James Hardie HardiePlank in the Select Cedar Mill texture, 8.25 inches wide. Fiber cement is the right call for Austin. It does not warp in 100-degree summers, it handles hail far better than wood, and it will not feed the mold that our humid stretches encourage. The Select Cedar Mill grain gives you the look of real cedar without the upkeep. Cedar pollen season alone is hard enough here without adding wood rot to your list.
New siding and old gutters do not belong on the same house. We removed and disposed of the existing gutters by the linear foot, then reset the run against the refreshed fascia. Good drainage matters a lot on Austin's limestone soil, where standing water near the slab can shift a foundation.
Crews worked the home over four days, from July 17 through July 20, 2026, with paint following the siding install. We sheathed, hung the HardiePlank, wrapped the garage door jambs, and set the gutters. Two yard cleanups and a punch-out closed things out.
On-site work ran four days, from July 17 to July 20, 2026. The homeowner first reached out in early June, so planning and approvals happened well before crews arrived.
Fiber cement stands up to hail and does not warp under repeated 100-degree heat. It also resists moisture and rot, which matters during our humid summers and long allergy seasons.
This retail siding and gutter job fell in the $20,000 to $25,000 range. Final pricing depends on wall area, sheathing needs, and paint scope, so every home is quoted individually.
James Hardie backs HardiePlank with a strong manufacturer warranty on the fiber cement product. Our installation workmanship is covered as well, so you have support on both the material and the labor.
