Full James Hardie HardiePlank 8.25" Select Cedar Mill Siding Replacement | Complete Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint Exterior Repaint
This Quail Creek home received a full siding replacement using James Hardie HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill in an 8.25" width. We installed fresh 7/16" OSB wall sheathing before hanging any board. Fiber cement was chosen because it shrugs off Austin hail, 100°-plus heat, and cedar pollen without warping. Porch columns and double garage door jambs were wrapped to match.

We painted the entire exterior with Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint once the new siding was set. The scope covered siding, fascia and soffit up to 24 inches, the porch ceiling, garage doors, and entry doors. SuperPaint was picked for its UV hold-up under relentless Central Texas sun. Two paint days followed the siding work, and the job wrapped with a final punch.
The homeowner first reached out to Austin Pro in early May 2026, with the lead logged on May 4 through James Hardie. The early conversation centered on replacing aging siding on this Quail Creek home rather than repainting over failing boards.
By mid-May the project moved into the prospect stage on May 14, 2026. We inspected the existing exterior, checked the condition of the wall substrate, and confirmed the old cladding was past patching. That assessment set the plan for new sheathing under the new siding.
The homeowner approved the scope on June 2, 2026. Selections locked in James Hardie HardiePlank in the 8.25" Select Cedar Mill profile, with Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint for the full exterior. We also finalized the column wraps, garage door jamb details, and painted surfaces.
The crew installed 7/16" OSB wall sheathing, hung the HardiePlank, and wrapped the porch columns and double garage door jambs. Painting with SuperPaint followed over two days, covering siding, fascia, soffit, doors, and the porch ceiling.
The project wrapped on July 8, 2026, with a final punch pass and two rounds of yard cleanup. We walked the exterior to confirm a clean, uniform finish across every surface. The home was left storm-ready and fully repainted.
We replaced the failing siding on a Quail Creek home in Austin with James Hardie fiber cement, then repainted the entire exterior. The house went from tired and weathered to a crisp, storm-ready shell in early July 2026.
Quail Creek is full of homes built decades ago, and the original cladding here had run its course. The old boards had soaked up years of Austin storms and swelling summer heat.
Stripping siding always tells the real story, and this home was no exception. Once the old cladding came down, the wall substrate underneath needed attention before anything new could go up. We spec'd 7/16" OSB wall sheathing across the exposed walls to give the new siding a flat, solid nailing base. Skipping that step is the most common mistake we see on DIY re-siding jobs. Fiber cement is heavy and unforgiving, so it needs a true, stable surface or the boards telegraph every dip in the old wall.
We installed James Hardie HardiePlank in the 8.25" Select Cedar Mill profile. It gives a wood-grain look without the rot, splitting, or repainting that real cedar demands in this climate.
Fiber cement earns its keep in Central Texas. It stands up to hail far better than vinyl, and it won't warp when the mercury sits above 100 degrees for weeks. Cedar pollen and humidity don't feed it either, so you get years before the surface asks for anything. That durability is why we steer Quail Creek homeowners toward Hardie over softer siding.
Once the siding was set, we moved into paint with Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint over two days. Working on primed Hardie means the finish bonds tight and lays down even. We coated far more than just the walls.
On-site work began with siding installation on June 17, 2026, and continued over multiple days. Painting followed shortly afterward and was completed over two days. The project concluded with a punch pass and final cleanup, which were completed on July 8, 2026.
On-site work ran four days, from July 5 to July 8, 2026. Siding went up first, painting followed over two days, and we closed with a punch pass and final cleanup.
Fiber cement holds up to hail impacts and doesn't warp in prolonged 100-degree heat the way vinyl can. For an older Quail Creek home, it's a longer-lasting shell that keeps its shape.
This retail project landed in the $20,000–$25,000 range. That covered new wall sheathing, HardiePlank installation, column and jamb wraps, and a full SuperPaint exterior repaint.
The boards arrived primed, but a field coat of SuperPaint seals the surface and locks in the color you actually want. It also ties the siding, trim, doors, and porch ceiling into one consistent finish.
