Siding & Exterior Painting in North Austin, Austin, TX (May 2026)

Why did this North Austin home need new siding?

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.

• Old boards showed weathering and movement at the seams
• Fascia and soffit paint had faded and chalked
• Garage door jambs needed fresh wrapping to seal edges
• ZIP 78753 sees the full brunt of Central Texas heat and storms

What made HardiePlank the right choice?

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.

• Product: HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill 8.25" primed lap siding
• Delivered through ABC Supply with a standard delivery fee
• Garage door jambs wrapped, including a split double set done as two singles
• A customer-supplied window was installed during the re-side

How did the siding installation go?

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.

• Install window: May 24–27, 2026
• Two scheduled yard cleanups plus a final punch-out
• Fresh jamb wrapping to seal the garage openings
• New siding aligned to a consistent 8.25" exposure across all elevations

What did the exterior painting cover?

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.

• Siding painted with Sherwin Williams SuperPaint
• Fascia and soffit painted (25" to 36" open-soffit detail)
• Porch ceiling, front railing, and garage doors all coated to match
• Primed Cedar Mill gave the topcoat a smooth, even base

What were the results?

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.

• Uniform color across siding, trim, and doors
• Sealed jambs and refreshed soffit lines
• A cedar-look exterior with none of wood's upkeep
