Complete James Hardie Select Cedar Mill Fiber Cement Siding Installation | Energy-Efficient NT Executive Vinyl Window Replacement
We wrapped this 78728 home in 8.25-inch James Hardie Select Cedar Mill fiber cement siding. The crew primed the boards, then finished them in Sherwin Williams SuperPaint for lasting color. Fiber cement was chosen because it resists Austin's brutal heat, hail, and moisture swings without warping. We also painted fascia, soffit, gutters, garage doors, and front pillars for a full exterior refresh.

This project included NT Executive vinyl windows from NT Windows, a Central Texas manufacturer. Vinyl frames handle 100-degree summers without expanding or cracking like older units do. The tighter seals block cedar pollen and lower cooling costs during long Austin summers. Paired with the new siding, the windows finished off a clean, updated look.
The homeowner found Austin Pro through a community webpage and reached out on May 2, 2025. The early conversation focused on aging exterior siding and windows that no longer held up to Central Texas weather. We set up a visit to look over the full exterior.
By May 5 the project moved to the prospect stage after our on-site review. We inspected the existing cladding, trim, fascia, soffit, and windows for wear from sun, hail, and moisture. The findings pointed to full re-cladding and new vinyl windows rather than a surface repaint.
We walked the homeowner through material options and finish choices over the following weeks. James Hardie Select Cedar Mill siding and NT Executive vinyl windows were selected, with Sherwin Williams SuperPaint for the finish. The project was approved on August 5, 2025.
Crews mobilized on August 12, 2025 and completed the exterior in one day. Work included installing 8.25-inch primed Select Cedar Mill siding, setting the new windows, wrapping garage door jambs, and painting siding, fascia, soffit, gutters, and pillars. Two yard cleanups kept the site tidy through the job.
We ran a final punch-out to catch every last detail before wrapping up. The home was invoiced on August 12 and formally closed on August 27, 2025. The finished exterior now stands ready for years of Austin heat, hail, and pollen.
We replaced the exterior siding and windows on this Austin home in the 78728 area, swapping worn cladding for 8.25-inch James Hardie fiber cement and installing new NT Executive vinyl windows. The whole exterior came together in a single day on August 12, 2025.
Homes in this part of Austin were built to last, but the original cladding was showing its age. Sun, hail, and swings in humidity had worn down the surface over the years. The homeowner wanted a material that would hold up better and look sharp for decades.
When we walked the home before the August 12 start, the details told the story. The exterior had taken a beating from years of direct sun and the occasional hailstorm that rolls through Central Texas. Older wood-based trim tends to soak up moisture and swell, and that movement cracks paint long before the color itself gives out. That is exactly what a homeowner would miss if they only repainted without fixing the underlying material. We planned for full re-cladding plus new windows so the fixes would actually last.
We clad the home in 8.25-inch James Hardie Select Cedar Mill fiber cement. Fiber cement was the clear pick for this climate. It will not warp in 100-degree summers, and it stands up to hail far better than wood or vinyl siding.
The boards arrived primed, then we finished them in Sherwin Williams SuperPaint for a tough, color-stable coat. Fiber cement also shrugs off the moisture swings that come with Austin's limestone soil and sudden downpours. That mix of durability and low upkeep is why so many local homeowners make the switch.
We installed NT Executive vinyl windows to match the exterior upgrade. NT Windows builds these units right here in Texas, so they are designed for our heat. Vinyl frames stay tight and true where older frames tend to leak air and let cedar pollen creep in each spring.
The home now has a fully refreshed exterior that reads clean from the street. New siding, new windows, and freshly painted trim, gutters, garage doors, and pillars all came together on the same day. The finish is built to handle whatever a Central Texas year throws at it.
The on-site work finished in a single day on August 12, 2025. The full timeline ran from the first lead in early May to project close on August 27.
It holds its shape in triple-digit heat and resists hail damage far better than wood. The material also handles moisture from Austin's clay and limestone soils without rotting or swelling.
This retail project fell in the $30,000 to $40,000 range. That covered siding, new windows, full painting, and all the trim and cleanup work.
Yes. The NT Executive vinyl units seal tighter than aging frames, which reduces heat gain and cooling strain during Austin summers.
