James Hardie HardiePlank Cedar Mill Fiber Cement Siding Installation | Full Sherwin Williams Exterior Painting with Sealed Seams
This Ranch Creek project replaced worn siding with James Hardie HardiePlank Cedar Mill in a 5.25" reveal. We chose fiber cement because it shrugs off Austin heat, hail, and cedar pollen without warping or rotting. During tear-off we found the existing sheathing was still solid, so we skipped replacing it and passed the savings on. The finished siding is durable, sharp, and built for Central Texas weather.

Exterior painting followed the siding install within days, using Sherwin Williams products throughout. We caulked and coated the new siding by the square, then painted fascia and soffit up to 24 inches. Quality paint protects fiber cement seams from moisture and UV in the harsh Texas sun. The home now wears a smooth, even finish that resists fading.
This homeowner found Austin Pro through an internet search and reached out on April 5, 2023. They were looking to replace aging siding on their Ranch Creek home and freshen up the exterior.
We assessed the existing siding and exterior condition after first contact. By April 13, 2023 the project moved to the prospect stage, with siding replacement and a full repaint identified as the scope.
The homeowner approved the project on April 14, 2023. We planned for James Hardie HardiePlank Cedar Mill siding and a Sherwin Williams exterior paint package, including possible OSB sheathing replacement.
Siding work began in late July 2023 and ran multiple days. During tear-off we found the existing sheathing was still in great condition, so we skipped the OSB replacement and discounted the job. Painting followed shortly after the new HardiePlank was installed.
We caulked and painted every surface, finished the fascia and soffit up to 24 inches, and completed two rounds of yard cleanup and punch-out. The project was completed and invoiced on August 30, 2023, leaving a durable, freshly finished exterior.
We re-sided this Ranch Creek home in Austin with James Hardie fiber cement and followed it with a full Sherwin Williams exterior repaint. The result is a tougher, sharper exterior built for Central Texas weather.
Many homes in this part of Austin date to the 1980s and 2000s. Their original siding takes a beating from 100°-plus summers, spring hail, and heavy cedar pollen. This home's cladding had reached the end of its useful life.
Here is the part that saved this homeowner real money. When we pulled the first section of old siding in July, we expected to replace the sheathing underneath. That is standard on older homes, where moisture and shifting limestone soil often leave the substrate soft or rotted. But the existing sheathing was in great shape. We tested more sections and confirmed it, so we skipped the OSB replacement entirely and cut the price considerably. A lot of contractors would have swapped it anyway and charged for it.
We installed James Hardie HardiePlank Cedar Mill in a 5.25-inch reveal. Fiber cement is the right call for Austin because it does not soften in extreme heat and it stands up to hail.
Paint started within days of the siding wrapping up. We used Sherwin Williams products to caulk and coat every surface by the square. Sealing the seams matters here, because our summer sun and sudden storms punish any gap.
The home now has a durable, low-maintenance exterior that looks brand new. Fiber cement paired with quality paint should protect this house for decades with little upkeep.
It handles our climate extremes without failing. HardiePlank does not warp in 100°-plus heat, resists hail impact, and shrugs off cedar pollen and moisture that rot wood siding.
Yes. Because the existing sheathing was still solid, we removed the OSB replacement line and passed those savings along. This project landed in the $25k–$30k range.
The siding install ran across several days in late July 2023. Painting followed shortly after, and the full job was completed by August 30, 2023.
Primer is a base coat, not a finish. A full Sherwin Williams topcoat seals the planks against UV and moisture, and it lets you pick the exact color you want.
