Scope of Work

What We Did

11+ NT Windows Replacement with Oversized Unit · Complete James Hardie HardiePlank Fiber Cement Siding Installation

Windows

This window project in Austin, TX covered more than 11 openings, with NT Windows chosen for the full replacement. One opening was an oversized window over 120 united inches, which takes careful measuring and handling. We used clear caulk to match the dark bronze frames and replaced a worn interior sill. The homeowner ended up with cleaner sightlines and windows better sealed against 100-degree summers.

Siding

For this siding job in Austin, TX we chose James Hardie HardiePlank, a fiber cement product built for our climate. Fiber cement resists warping, rot, and pest damage that plague older homes here. We installed it right after the window replacement so both trades lined up perfectly. The homeowner got a durable, low-maintenance exterior that stands up to cedar pollen, hail, and long hot summers.

How It Went

The Journey

From the first phone call to the final walkthrough — what actually happened on this project.

First contact

January 13, 2022

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

January 24, 2022

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

August 17, 2022

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

August 24, 2022

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.

The Full Story

Inside This Project

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.

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.

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.

Straight Answers

Questions About This Project

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.
