What We Did

Siding

James Hardie

This project covered a full James Hardie fiber cement re-side on a condo association building in Austin. We used Select Cedar Mill 8.25-inch primed siding over new 7/16-inch OSB wall sheathing. Fiber cement was chosen because it shrugs off cedar pollen, 100-degree summers, and hail that ruins wood. The result is a durable, low-maintenance exterior built for Central Texas weather.

Exterior Painting

Sherwin Williams

We finished the building with Sherwin Williams SuperPaint applied to the fresh siding, fascia, and soffits. The scope also covered painting the doors and garage doors for a matched, cohesive look. SuperPaint was picked for its strong adhesion and fade resistance under relentless Austin sun. The coating seals the fiber cement and protects it for years to come.

How It works

The Journey

First Contact

The homeowner association first reached out on May 17, 2026, after seeing our work through Facebook and Instagram. The early conversation focused on the aging wood siding across the building and how much repainting it kept demanding.

Evaluation

By May 19 the lead had moved to a full prospect review. We inspected the existing cladding, checked for moisture behind failing boards, and flagged the wall sheathing that would need replacing before any new siding went up.

Planning & Approval

We built a scope covering James Hardie Select Cedar Mill siding, new OSB sheathing, and a complete Sherwin Williams repaint. The association approved the plan on May 28, 2026, and we pulled the required permit as part of the work.

Installation

Crews worked on site from July 10 to July 13, 2026. They installed new 7/16-inch wall sheathing, hung the 8.25-inch fiber cement panels, wrapped the garage door jambs, then painted the siding, fascia, soffits, doors, and garage doors with SuperPaint.

Completion

On-site work wrapped July 13, 2026, with two rounds of yard cleanup and a final punch-out. The association came away with a sealed, uniform exterior and the durability of a James Hardie system backed by its long-term product warranty.

We re-sided and repainted a condo association building on Rockcrest Circle in northwest Austin, swapping tired wood cladding for James Hardie fiber cement and a full Sherwin Williams finish. The building went from weather-worn to sharp and low-maintenance in four days on site.

Why did this Austin condo need new siding?

The old wood cladding had taken a beating. Years of 100-degree summers, spring hail, and thick cedar pollen had left the boards cracked, swollen, and hard to keep painted. For a condo association, that means constant upkeep and a patchy look across shared walls.

Fiber cement solved the root problem. It does not swell or feed rot the way wood does, and it holds paint far longer in the Texas sun.

Repainting wood was becoming a recurring expense for the association
Cedar pollen and humidity kept the old boards dirty and stained

What did the crew find behind the old siding?

Once we pulled the old cladding, the wall condition drove the plan. Some sheathing had softened where water had worked in behind failing boards, so we did not just re-cover the problem. We installed new 7/16-inch OSB wall sheathing to give the new siding a flat, solid, dry surface to sit on. That step matters more than most homeowners realize. If you nail fiber cement over compromised sheathing, you trap the same moisture issue that ruined the wood, and no amount of good siding fixes a bad substrate. Getting the wall right first is what makes a re-side actually last.

What materials did we use, and why?

We went with James Hardie Select Cedar Mill in the 8.25-inch profile. It gives you the grain and shadow line of real cedar without the maintenance headaches. The wider exposure also suited the scale of this multi-unit building.

Garage door jambs wrapped, including a split double set up as two singles
ABC delivery and material staging for a full-building load
Permit pulled and closed for the association work

How did the painting come together?

Once the siding was hung and the jambs wrapped, our painters moved in with Sherwin Williams SuperPaint. It goes on the primed Hardie board with strong adhesion and holds its color against relentless UV. That fade resistance is a big deal on a building that faces open Austin sun most of the day.

SuperPaint applied to all new siding
Fascia and soffits painted, including open soffit runs at 25 to 36 inches
Doors and garage doors coated for a matched finish
Two rounds of yard cleanup and punch-out items completed

What were the results?

The association got a single, cohesive exterior that reads as one clean building instead of a patchwork of aging boards. The finish is sealed, the walls are dry, and the whole property looks years younger. Best of all, the upkeep drops sharply from here.

Far less repainting and repair for the association going forward

Frequently asked questions

How long did the siding and painting take?

Crews were on site from July 10 to July 13, 2026 — four working days. The project was approved back on May 28, so material ordering and scheduling happened well before the first board came off.

Why is fiber cement better than wood for Austin condos?

Wood swells, splits, and needs frequent repainting in our heat and humidity. James Hardie fiber cement resists rot, holds paint longer, and stands up to hail far better, which lowers long-term costs for an association.

What did this siding and painting project cost?

This job fell in the $30,000 to $40,000 range. Final pricing depends on wall square footage, how much sheathing needs replacing, and the paint scope across doors, fascia, and soffits.

Do you handle permits for condo association work?

Yes. We pulled and closed the permit for this project as part of the scope, so the association did not have to manage that paperwork.
