NT Windows

We installed 11+ NT Windows vinyl replacement windows on this home in the 78729 area of Austin. The NT Executive line was chosen for its tight seal and strong heat performance. Vinyl frames resist Central Texas sun without swelling or cracking. Each window was sealed with color caulk and window foam for lasting efficiency.

Siding

James Hardie

We added James Hardie fiber cement siding to the home using a trim-over method. Fiber cement stands up to Austin hail, 100-degree heat, and cedar pollen far better than wood. The material resists warping and holds paint through hot, dry summers. The result is a cleaner, tougher exterior that needs less upkeep.

First Contact

The homeowner found us through an internet search and reached out on June 14, 2022. They wanted to talk through replacing aging windows and refreshing the siding on their northwest Austin home. We moved them to a prospect on June 17, 2022 after that first conversation.

Evaluation

We inspected the existing windows and siding to gauge condition and sizing. The old frames had lost their seal, letting in heat and cedar pollen. We confirmed 11+ window openings and mapped out the trim-over siding plan.

PLanning & Approval

We built an estimate covering NT Executive vinyl windows and James Hardie fiber cement siding. The homeowner reviewed the scope and approved the project on June 30, 2022. Selections included color caulk, window foam, and the trim-over siding method.

Installation

Our crew handled both trades on March 23, 2023. We removed the old windows, set each new unit level, then sealed with foam and color-matched caulk. The James Hardie siding went on trim-over for a clean, durable finish.

Completion

We finished the full window and siding install on March 23, 2023. The home came away with a tighter thermal envelope and a tougher, better-looking exterior. The project was invoiced the same day it wrapped.

Project at a glance

  • Services: Windows and siding
  • Neighborhood / City: Milwood area, Austin, TX (78729)
  • Vendor & product: NT Windows vinyl replacement windows and James Hardie fiber cement siding
  • Material: NT Executive vinyl frames and James Hardie fiber cement (trim-over)
  • Timeframe: Approved June 30, 2022; installed and completed March 23, 2023
  • Standout outcome: 11+ tight-sealing windows plus a fresh, hail-tough exterior in one job
  • Why did this Austin home need new windows?

    Many homes in the 78729 area date back to the 1980s and 1990s. The old windows here had lost their seal and let in heat and cedar pollen. That drives up cooling bills through Austin's long 100-degree summers.

  • Home in the northwest Austin Milwood area, common for aging original windows
  • 11+ windows counted (double mulled units count as two, triple as three)
  • Lead came in June 14, 2022 through an internet search
  • Homeowner wanted better sealing and lower energy loss
  • What materials did we use, and why?

    We went with NT Windows vinyl replacement units in the NT Executive line. Vinyl handles Central Texas sun without swelling, cracking, or fading like older wood frames. It also seals tight against pollen and heat.

  • NT Executive vinyl replacement windows from a Texas-based maker
  • Color caulk for windows for a clean, matched finish
  • Window foam around each frame for insulation and air sealing
  • Vinyl resists the heat swings that wreck older frames
  • What siding went on the home?

    We installed James Hardie fiber cement siding using a trim-over method. Fiber cement is one of the toughest exterior materials for Austin homes. It shrugs off hail, holds paint through hot summers, and won't rot or warp.

  • James Hardie fiber cement siding installed trim-over
  • Trim-over keeps existing trim in place for a faster, cleaner job
  • Fiber cement resists hail dings and cedar pollen buildup
  • Paint lasts longer on Hardie than on old wood or hardboard
  • How did the installation go?

    Our crew handled both trades in a tight, coordinated window install and siding run. We pulled measurements early, then set each unit level and sealed it. Materials came through trusted supply partners.

  • Measure fee captured accurate sizing before order
  • Window installation for all 11+ openings
  • Dump fee covered clean removal of old materials
  • Supplies sourced through ABC Supply, Home Depot, and NT Window
  • What were the results?

    The homeowner ended up with a sealed, energy-smart set of windows and a durable new skin on the house. Both upgrades cut maintenance and boost comfort. It's a strong combo for a home facing Austin heat and storms.

  • Tighter thermal envelope for hot summers
  • Fewer drafts and less pollen intrusion
  • A cleaner, more modern exterior look
  • Project value in the $30k–$40k range
  • Want to pair windows and siding on your own home? Austin Pro handles both under one roof.

    Frequently asked questions

    How long did the project take?

    We approved the scope on June 30, 2022, then completed both the window and siding install on March 23, 2023. Coordinating both trades in one project kept the on-site work efficient.

    Why is vinyl a good window choice for Austin?

    Vinyl frames like the NT Executive line don't swell or crack in 100-degree heat. They seal tightly against cedar pollen and hold up for years with almost no upkeep.

    Why James Hardie fiber cement instead of wood?

    Fiber cement resists hail, rot, and warping far better than wood or hardboard. It also holds paint longer through Austin's hot, dry summers, so you repaint less often.

    What did this project cost?

    This combined windows and siding job fell in the $30k–$40k range. Final pricing always depends on window count, siding coverage, and material choices.
