James Hardie HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill 8.25" Siding Installation | Full Sherwin Williams SuperPaint Exterior Repaint
This North Austin project centered on a full James Hardie HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill re-side in an 8.25" reveal. We chose fiber cement because it shrugs off 100°-plus summers, hail, and moisture that warp lesser boards. The Cedar Mill texture gives a natural wood grain without the rot or upkeep. The finished siding gives this aging home a fresh, resilient exterior.

The exterior painting used Sherwin Williams SuperPaint over the newly primed siding and trim. Our crew coated the siding, fascia, soffit, porch ceiling, garage doors, and front railing. SuperPaint holds color and resists UV fade under harsh Central Texas sun. The finish ties every surface together for a uniform, weather-ready result.
The homeowner found Austin Pro through an internet search and reached out on January 1, 2026. Early conversations covered the aging siding and the goal of a lower-maintenance exterior built for North Austin weather.
We moved the lead to prospect on January 5, 2026, after walking the exterior. Our inspection flagged weathered siding, faded fascia and soffit, and garage jambs that needed proper wrapping and sealing.
The homeowner reviewed material and color options and approved the project on April 27, 2026. We locked in James Hardie HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill in the 8.25" reveal, plus a full Sherwin Williams SuperPaint scope for siding and trim.
On-site work ran May 24 through May 27, 2026. The crew removed old siding, prepped sheathing, and set the new Cedar Mill boards, wrapped the garage door jambs, and installed a customer-supplied window. Painting followed once the boards were up.
We finished on-site work May 27, 2026, closing out two yard cleanups and a final punch. The completed exterior pairs durable fiber cement with a uniform SuperPaint finish.
We re-sided a North Austin home with James Hardie HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill, then painted the full exterior with Sherwin Williams SuperPaint. The 78753 home traded tired, weathered walls for a durable, cedar-look finish built for Central Texas weather.
The original siding had taken years of hard Texas seasons. Between 100°-plus summers, spring hail, and swings in limestone-soil moisture, older boards start to swell, crack, and pull loose. This homeowner wanted an exterior that would stop the constant upkeep and hold up long-term.
Fiber cement is the material we reach for on most Austin re-sides, and this job is a good example of why. HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill gives you the look of real cedar grain without the rot, insect damage, or endless refinishing that wood demands. It stands up to hail impact and shrugs off the daily 100°-degree bake that warps vinyl and cracks older composite. We used the 8.25" reveal for a broad, clean shadow line that suits the home's proportions. The boards arrived primed, which meant a tighter bond when our painters took over.
Our crew worked the exterior over four days, from May 24 through May 27, 2026. Re-siding an occupied home takes staging, so we removed old material, prepped the sheathing, and set the new boards section by section. Two rounds of yard cleanup and punch items kept the site tidy and caught small details before we called it done.
Painting followed shortly after the boards were up. We coated the home in Sherwin Williams SuperPaint, a workhorse acrylic that holds color under relentless UV and resists the fade that plagues south-facing Austin walls. The crew didn't stop at the siding.
The home now wears one cohesive finish, from the porch ceiling to the garage doors. The new HardiePlank handles heat and hail the old siding couldn't, and the SuperPaint keeps it looking sharp through Austin's harsh sun. This is a low-maintenance exterior that should stay handsome for years.
The on-site work ran four days, May 24 to May 27, 2026. Siding went up over several days in mid-May, with painting following shortly after, so the full exterior was wrapped inside that window.
Heat, hail, and shifting limestone soil are hard on any exterior. HardiePlank resists warping and impact where wood and vinyl fail, and it won't feed the moisture problems that come with our storm seasons.
This siding and exterior painting job fell in the $20k–$25k range. Final pricing depends on square footage, trim detail, and how much prep the old surface needs.
We painted the full exterior here, including fascia, soffit, porch ceiling, front railing, and garage doors. Matching every surface is what makes the finished home read as one clean look.
