James Hardie HardiePlank Cedarmill Colonial Siding Installation | Eight-Unit NT Windows Vinyl Replacement
We installed James Hardie HardiePlank Cedarmill siding in a Colonial profile on this North Austin home. Fiber cement handles 100-degree heat, hail, and cedar pollen without warping or rot. The old cladding had worn down after years of Texas weather. A full Sherwin Williams paint finish followed the siding install for lasting color and protection.

We replaced eight windows with NT Windows vinyl units on this Austin home. Vinyl frames resist the heat swings that crack and fade older aluminum. The new units seal tighter and lower cooling costs in summer. Crews set all eight in a single day in mid-September before siding began.
The homeowner first reached out after finding Austin Pro through an internet search, with the initial lead logged back on November 20, 2019. That early contact opened a long conversation about updating the home's aging exterior in North Austin.
We inspected the exterior and found faded, worn cladding that could no longer shed water or hold paint. The eight window openings were also flagged for replacement. The two-trade scope, siding plus windows, was mapped out from that assessment.
The project was approved on March 1, 2022, and the eight windows were ordered on March 18. We selected James Hardie HardiePlank in the Cedarmill Colonial profile and NT Windows vinyl units, with a Sherwin Williams paint finish planned to follow the siding.
The eight windows arrived in early September after COVID supply-chain delays and were installed in a single mid-September day. The siding crew followed with a multi-day HardiePlank install running October 4 through 7, with paint applied as the final step.
On-site work wrapped and the job was invoiced on October 7, 2022. The home came away with a sealed, weather-ready exterior and a fresh painted finish.
We re-clad a North Austin home in Austin, TX with James Hardie fiber cement siding and installed eight new windows. The result is a tighter, tougher exterior built for Central Texas weather.
The old cladding had taken a beating. Years of 100-degree summers, hail, and heavy cedar pollen left it faded and worn. This home dates to the wave of North Austin builds from the 1980s and 90s, and the original exterior had simply aged out.
When we walked the exterior, the story was clear. The cladding had lost its ability to shed water and hold paint, and the window openings needed attention too. We planned the job around two trades: siding replacement first in scope, with a window swap that would happen before the siding crew arrived. Sequencing matters here, because you want the windows set and sealed before the new lap goes on around them. Getting that order wrong forces rework and leaves gaps where Texas rain and pollen creep in.
We chose James Hardie HardiePlank in the Cedarmill Colonial profile. Fiber cement is the right call for this climate for a simple reason. It does not warp, crack, or feed rot the way wood and older composites do when Austin swings from 100-degree afternoons to sudden hail. The Cedarmill texture gives you the look of real cedar grain without the maintenance that cedar demands in our heat and pollen. It also holds paint far longer, which matters when the sun is this harsh.
We ordered the eight windows on March 18 and received them in early September, later than usual because of COVID supply-chain delays. The crew set all eight in a single day in mid-September. Siding and paint followed over several days in early October, wrapping October 7.
The home now has a sealed, weather-ready exterior that suits North Austin. The new NT Windows units cut heat gain, and the Hardie shell shrugs off hail and pollen. The painted finish ties the whole elevation together.
The windows went in during a single mid-September day. The siding and paint work ran across October 4 through 7, so four days of on-site siding installation.
Fiber cement handles our climate extremes without breaking down. It resists the heat, hail, and cedar pollen that wear out wood siding, and it keeps paint looking sharp for years.
This retail project fell in the $30k–$40k range. That covered eight NT Windows units, full HardiePlank siding, and a complete Sherwin Williams paint finish.
We placed the window order on March 18, well before install. COVID supply-chain delays pushed delivery into early September, so ordering early kept the project on track.
