Full-Home James Hardie HardiePlank Fiber Cement Siding with Paint | NT Presidential Double-Hung Window Replacement Throughout









This Milwood siding project used James Hardie HardiePlank fiber cement across the full home exterior. Fiber cement resists warping, rot, and hail damage that plague older cladding in Central Texas. We installed the siding over two days, then applied paint to seal and finish the job. The result is a durable, low-maintenance exterior built for Austin weather.

We paired the siding work with NT Presidential double-hung window replacements from NT Windows. These vinyl units help block heat gain during long triple-digit summers. Our crew installed the windows across four days, squaring and sealing each opening. The homeowner gained tighter, quieter, more efficient windows throughout.

The homeowner found Austin Pro through an internet search and reached out in March 2022. The lead came in on March 10, 2022, and we opened an early conversation about a full exterior refresh for their Milwood home.
Our team assessed the home's aging exterior and dated windows. We measured every window opening for replacement units and reviewed the wall cladding for a full re-side. The findings pointed to a complete envelope upgrade rather than spot repairs.
We built a scope combining James Hardie HardiePlank siding with NT Presidential double-hung windows. The project was approved on April 1, 2022, and windows were ordered April 20, 2022. Material selections and paint were locked in during this phase.
Window delivery was delayed by COVID-era manufacturer backlogs until October 4, 2022. Our crew installed the windows over four days starting November 6, then set the siding over two days in mid-December. Paint followed shortly after the siding went up.
We completed a punch-out walkthrough in early January, with on-site work finishing January 5, 2023. The home was invoiced the next day and the file closed February 7, 2023. The homeowner received a durable, weather-ready exterior.
We re-clad a Milwood home in Austin, TX with James Hardie fiber cement siding and installed new NT Presidential double-hung windows throughout. The result is a tougher, tighter exterior built for Central Texas heat and hail.
Many Milwood homes date to the 1980s and 1990s, and their original exteriors show it. This home's old cladding and windows were tired, drafty, and no match for Austin weather. The homeowner wanted a full refresh that would last decades, not a patch job.
Our evaluation confirmed the exterior was ready for a complete overhaul. The window openings needed careful measuring so the new NT units would sit square and seal tight. Central Texas homes fight two enemies at once: relentless summer heat and sudden hail. Both punish cheap materials fast. We planned the scope to address the whole envelope so the homeowner would not revisit these issues in a few years.
We chose James Hardie HardiePlank fiber cement for the walls. Fiber cement is the right call for Austin because it does not warp in triple-digit heat and it resists hail far better than vinyl or old wood. It also holds paint well and stands up to moisture and pests. That combination means fewer callbacks and a longer service life. For the windows, we installed NT Presidential double-hung units, a vinyl line that helps block solar heat gain and cuts down on drafts.
The windows came first. Our crew set them over four days starting November 6, 2022, working opening by opening to keep each unit square and sealed. Supply timing was a real factor here, which we cover below.
This project ran long, and the reason matters. The windows were ordered in April 2022 but did not arrive until October, thanks to manufacturer backlogs that hit the whole industry during that period. We kept the homeowner informed the entire time rather than starting work we could not finish. Once materials landed, the on-site pace was steady and predictable. Patience on the front end let us do the job right instead of rushing around missing parts.
The home now wears a clean, durable James Hardie exterior with fresh paint and efficient new windows. On-site work wrapped by January 5, 2023, with invoicing the next day. The homeowner ended up with an exterior built to handle whatever Central Texas throws at it.
On-site work spanned several phases. Windows went in over four days in early November, siding took two days in mid-December, and paint and final punch-out wrapped by early January 2023.
HardiePlank fiber cement resists warping in extreme heat and holds up to hail better than vinyl or wood. It also fights moisture, rot, and pests, which means far less upkeep over the years.
This retail project fell in the $30,000 to $40,000 range. That reflected full-home siding, paint, and a complete set of NT Presidential windows.
The units were ordered in April 2022 but arrived in October due to COVID-era manufacturer delays.
