NT Windows

We installed 11+ replacement windows from NT Windows on this Austin home. The scope included one oversized window over 120 united inches and a new interior sill up to 96 inches. NT Windows are built in Texas, so they hold up well to our 100°-plus summers. Clear caulk finished the dark frames for a clean, sealed look.

Siding

James Hardie

We wrapped the project with James Hardie fiber cement siding using HardiePlank boards. Fiber cement resists Austin hail, heat, and moisture better than older wood siding. It also shrugs off cedar pollen and won't warp on our limestone-heavy lots. The new siding gives the home a tough, low-maintenance shell.

First Contact

The homeowner found us through Yelp and reached out on January 13, 2022. We talked through their goals for both new windows and fresh siding on the South Austin home. By January 18 the project had moved into the prospect stage.

Evaluation

We measured the windows in the field, including one oversized opening over 120 united inches. The siding inspection confirmed the old exterior was due for a full fiber cement replacement. A measure fee covered the precise sizing before ordering.

PLanning & Approval

We laid out the scope for 11+ windows, a new interior sill, and James Hardie HardiePlank siding. The homeowner approved the plan on January 24, 2022. Material orders ran through NT Windows, ABC Supply, Lowe's, and Home Depot.

Installation

The crew completed both trades in a single day on August 17, 2022. Window installation covered all 11+ openings, including the oversized unit, finished with clear caulk on the dark frames. New siding and a fresh interior sill went in, and the dump fee handled all debris.

Completion

We walked the home after install to confirm clean seals and a tight exterior. The home was invoiced August 24, 2022 and closed out on December 30, 2022. The homeowner now has energy-smarter windows and durable Hardie siding built for Austin weather.

Project at a glance

  • Services: Windows and siding
  • City: Austin, TX (78748, South Austin)
  • Vendors & products: NT Windows for the windows, James Hardie HardiePlank for the siding
  • Material: Texas-built vinyl windows and fiber cement siding
  • Timeframe: Approved January 24, 2022; completed in a single day on August 17, 2022
  • Standout outcome: A full exterior refresh with 11+ windows, one oversized unit, and durable Hardie siding
  • Why did this Austin home need new windows?

    The old windows were tired and leaky, a common story for South Austin homes built decades ago. Heat slipped in during 100°-plus summers, and the seals had given up. New windows were the fastest way to cut that heat gain.

  • 11+ windows replaced (door panels and mulled units counted per the worksheet)
  • One oversized window over 120 united inches
  • Interior sill replaced, up to 96 inches, with labor and material included
  • A measure fee covered precise field sizing before the order
  • What windows and siding materials did we use, and why?

    We chose NT Windows because they're built in Texas for Texas heat. Then we matched them with James Hardie HardiePlank, a fiber cement board that handles our worst weather. Both choices were about long-term durability, not just looks.

  • NT Windows vinyl units, sealed with clear caulk for the dark bronze frames
  • HardiePlank fiber cement siding, which resists hail, rot, and warping
  • Fiber cement also shrugs off cedar pollen and won't feed termites
  • Materials sourced through ABC Supply, Lowe's, Home Depot, and the vendors directly
  • How did the installation go?

    Our crew handled both trades in a coordinated push and finished the install in a single day. Window work and siding work happen in the right order so each gets a clean, weather-tight seal. Tight sequencing keeps the home protected from start to finish.

  • Window installation across 11+ openings, including the oversized unit
  • Clear caulk used on the dark frames so seal lines stay invisible
  • New interior sill installed and finished
  • Dump fee covered haul-off of old windows and siding debris
  • What were the results for this home?

    The home is now sealed against Austin heat and built to take a hail season. New windows cut the air leaks, and the Hardie siding gives the exterior a tough, low-maintenance shell. The fresh paint and clean lines lifted curb appeal too.

  • A sealed, energy-smarter envelope for hot summers
  • Fiber cement siding rated to outlast wood by decades
  • Exterior finished with Sherwin Williams coatings
  • A single-day completion on August 17, 2022
  • Frequently asked questions

    Why is fiber cement siding a good fit for Austin?

    James Hardie HardiePlank resists hail, heat, and moisture far better than wood. It won't warp on our limestone-heavy lots or rot during humid stretches, so it holds up for decades.

    How long did the windows and siding project take?

    The install itself wrapped in a single day on August 17, 2022. The full path ran from approval on January 24, 2022 through to a December 30, 2022 close.

    What did this project cost?

    This retail project fell in the $50k–$60k range. That covered 11+ windows, an oversized unit, a new interior sill, and full James Hardie siding.

    Why use clear caulk on the windows?

    We use clear caulk on black and dark bronze frames so the seal lines disappear. It keeps the finished look clean while still sealing tight against air and water.
