James Hardie 8.25" Select Cedar Mill Fiber Cement Siding Installation | Full Exterior Repaint with Sherwin Williams SuperPaint
This project covered a full siding replacement in Austin, TX using James Hardie 8.25" Select Cedar Mill fiber cement. We chose primed Hardie board because it holds up to hail, cedar pollen, and triple-digit heat far better than wood. The scope included new 6" fascia and a wrapped garage door jamb. The result is a durable, low-maintenance exterior with a genuine cedar-grain texture.

The exterior painting phase used Sherwin Williams SuperPaint across the siding, fascia, and soffit up to 24 inches. We coated both garage doors to match the new color scheme. SuperPaint was picked for its fade resistance under 100-degree Texas summers. The full exterior now shares one clean, protected finish that guards against UV and moisture.
The homeowner found Austin Pro through an internet search and reached out on July 28, 2025. They were dealing with aging, failing exterior siding on their North Austin home and wanted a lasting fix rather than another repaint. We moved them to prospect status the next day, July 29.
We inspected the full exterior and found cupped, swollen boards along with soft fascia edges and exposed garage door jamb corners. Moisture had worked behind the old cladding in several spots. These findings shaped a scope focused on full replacement instead of another surface coat.
We walked the homeowner through fiber cement options and the Sherwin Williams paint plan. The project was approved on August 5, 2025, covering James Hardie 8.25" Select Cedar Mill siding, 6-inch fascia, jamb wrapping, and a full exterior repaint.
The crew wrapped both single garage door jambs, hung the primed Select Cedar Mill boards, and installed the new fascia and soffit. Painters followed with Sherwin Williams SuperPaint on the siding, trim up to 24 inches, and both garage doors. The siding and paint work ran across multiple days and finished on September 3, 2025.
We ran two punch-out and yard-cleanup passes to leave the site clean and the finish complete. The home walked away with a unified, weather-ready exterior on September 3, 2025. The job was invoiced the same day and formally closed on October 9, 2025.
We re-clad and repainted this North Austin home with James Hardie 8.25" Select Cedar Mill fiber cement siding and a full Sherwin Williams SuperPaint finish, wrapping the project up on September 3, 2025. The tired exterior now reads as a sharp, weather-ready home built for Central Texas.
The existing cladding had taken years of sun, storms, and cedar pollen. Boards were fading and pulling loose in spots, and the fascia showed soft edges.
When we pulled sections back for inspection, the story was clear. The old material had swelled and cupped where water had worked in over the seasons, and the garage door jambs were exposed at the corners. That is a common miss on older North Austin homes. People repaint over failing wood siding instead of replacing it, so the rot keeps spreading under a fresh coat. We flagged the jambs and the 6-inch fascia line as priority fixes before any new board went up, because siding is only as good as the trim protecting its edges.
We installed James Hardie 8.25" Select Cedar Mill, a primed fiber cement lap board with a natural wood-grain face. Fiber cement was the right call for this climate for a few reasons.
The siding and paint work ran across multiple days and wrapped on September 3, 2025. Our crew wrapped both single garage door jambs, hung the primed Select Cedar Mill boards, and set the new fascia and soffit before the painters moved in. We then coated the siding, the fascia and soffit up to 24 inches, and both garage doors with Sherwin Williams SuperPaint. SuperPaint holds its color under relentless Texas UV, which matters when a fresh finish has to survive summer after summer. Two rounds of yard cleanup and punch-out closed things out.
The home now wears one cohesive color across siding, trim, and garage doors. Every seam is sealed, and every edge is protected against the next storm season.
Our summers, hailstorms, and heavy cedar pollen wear out wood and hardboard fast. Fiber cement stays dimensionally stable and does not rot, so it outlasts cheaper cladding by years.
From approval on August 5 to completion on September 3, 2025, the job spanned about four weeks including scheduling. The hands-on siding and painting itself ran multiple consecutive days.
Yes. The full scope covering James Hardie siding, fascia, jamb wrapping, and the complete Sherwin Williams paint finish fell in the $10k–$15k range, with a discount applied for cash, check, or card payment.
We did on this job. Both garage doors were coated with SuperPaint so the whole exterior shares one seamless, protected color.
