Full James Hardie 8.25" Cedar Mill Fiber Cement Siding Replacement | Complete Exterior Repaint in Sherwin Williams SuperPaint
This Rockcrest Circle project replaced aging siding with James Hardie 8.25" Select Cedar Mill fiber cement. Our crew removed the old cladding and rebuilt the wall with new 7/16" OSB sheathing where needed. We chose Hardie because fiber cement resists Austin hail and heat far better than wood. The three-day install left the building straight, sealed, and ready for paint.

We finished the exterior with Sherwin Williams SuperPaint across two early-July days. The scope covered siding, fascia, soffits, garage doors, and entry doors. Painting primed Hardie board locks in the color and adds a second layer of weather protection. The coating stands up to Central Texas UV, keeping the finish sharp for years.
The homeowner association first reached out on May 17, 2026, after finding Austin Pro through our Facebook and Instagram presence. The early conversation focused on a full siding replacement for the condo building and a repaint of the whole exterior.
We walked the building to assess the failing cladding and the condition of the walls behind it. That inspection flagged likely sheathing issues and confirmed the exterior needed a full tear-off rather than a surface fix. The property moved to prospect status on May 19, 2026.
We built the scope around James Hardie 8.25" Select Cedar Mill siding and a Sherwin Williams SuperPaint finish, then pulled the required permits. The association approved the project on May 28, 2026, which locked in materials and scheduling.
Siding removal and replacement ran three days starting June 23, including new 7/16" OSB sheathing where the old wall had softened. Painting filled two days in early July 2026. We also wrapped garage door jambs and coated the doors, fascia, and soffits.
The job reached on-site completion on July 13, 2026, followed by punch-out work and two yard cleanups that closed things out July 17. The building was left straight, sealed, freshly painted, and ready for years of Central Texas weather.
We replaced the full exterior siding on a condo building at Rockcrest Circle in Austin, TX, then painted the whole envelope. The homeowner association ended up with a tight, weather-ready exterior finished in James Hardie fiber cement and Sherwin Williams SuperPaint.
The old cladding on this building had run its course. Years of 100-degree summers, hard hail, and cedar pollen leave older exteriors faded, swollen, and loose at the seams. This one needed a full tear-off, not a patch job.
Pulling the old siding took three days, and it told the real story of the building. Once the cladding came off, we found spots where the wall sheathing had softened and no longer held fasteners well. That is exactly the kind of hidden damage a homeowner never sees from the curb. We swapped in fresh 7/16" OSB wall sheathing before a single board went back up, because new siding is only as sound as what sits behind it. Skipping that step is the most common mistake we see on cheaper re-side jobs, and it comes back to haunt the owner within a few seasons.
We installed James Hardie 8.25" Primed Select Cedar Mill lap siding. Fiber cement is the right call in Central Texas because it does not swell in humidity or split when hail hits. The Cedar Mill texture gives that woodgrain look without the maintenance headache of real cedar.
With the siding up, we painted the exterior over two days in early July. We used Sherwin Williams SuperPaint, which holds color under the brutal Austin sun and adds a moisture barrier over the fiber cement. Painting primed Hardie board seals every edge and cut end.
The siding phase started back on June 23 and took three days, the painting filled two days in early July. Final punch items closed out July 17.
Wood absorbs moisture, then swells and cracks through our wet-dry swings. Fiber cement stays dimensionally stable, resists hail dents, and does not feed the rot and insect problems that plague older Austin homes.
This board came primed, so it needs a quality topcoat to seal it. We used Sherwin Williams SuperPaint, which bonds well to primed fiber cement and locks the finish against UV fade.
This was a retail job in the $30,000 to $40,000 range. Condo-scale siding replacement with full repaint and sheathing repairs sits in that band, depending on how much hidden wall damage turns up.
We run a formal punch-out, which on this job meant two yard cleanups plus a walkthrough for any touch-up items. That final pass closed July 17, so the property was left clean and complete, not just "mostly done."
