James Hardie Board & Batten Fiber Cement Siding Installation | Full Window Replacement with Sherwin Williams Exterior Finish
We installed James Hardie board and batten siding at 16 inches on center on this Montopolis home. The fiber cement material handles 100-degree summers and hail far better than the old cladding. Our crew wrapped the beams and porch columns in 3/8-inch Hardie trim for a finished edge. Sherwin Williams Super Paint sealed the whole exterior against Austin sun and cedar pollen.

We replaced the windows on this Austin home before starting the siding phase. The units were ordered May 1st and arrived in early June. Our team installed the full set in a single day. Doing windows first let us seal and flash each opening cleanly under the new fiber cement.
The homeowner found Austin Pro through an internet search and reached out on March 28, 2024. They were looking to replace aging siding and windows on their Montopolis home. We set up an initial visit to walk the property.
By April 3, 2024 the project moved into the prospect stage. We inspected the existing cladding, checked the window openings, and confirmed the home was a strong candidate for fiber cement. The old surfaces showed the wear you expect from years of Austin sun and hail.
The homeowner approved the job on April 12, 2024. We finalized the James Hardie board and batten selection, the 16-inch on-center layout, and the Sherwin Williams paint. Windows were ordered on May 1st to get them into the production queue early.
Windows arrived in early June and the crew set the full run in a single day. Siding began in mid-June and ran several days, with ABC Supply handling material delivery. Paint phases followed once the boards, battens, beams, and columns were wrapped.
We completed the project on July 26, 2024, closing out with two rounds of yard cleanup and punch items. A final walkthrough confirmed the sealed windows, wrapped trim, and painted fascia and soffit.
We re-clad a 1980s-era home in Montopolis with James Hardie board and batten siding and a full set of new windows. The finished exterior is tighter, tougher, and built for Central Texas weather.
The old cladding had taken years of abuse from Austin summers and spring hail. Fiber cement was the clear fix for a home in this ZIP code.
We handled the windows before touching the siding, and that order matters. Doing it backward is a mistake we see often. When windows go in after new cladding, the flashing gets awkward and the seals never sit right.
We ordered the windows on May 1st. They arrived in early June, and our team set the full run in a single day. That let us flash and seal each opening properly before the fiber cement went up around it. The result is a weather-tight envelope with no shortcuts hiding behind the boards.
We chose James Hardie board and batten for its track record in heat and hail. Central Texas is hard on exteriors, and fiber cement handles it.
Here's the deeper reason fiber cement wins in this area. Our summers push past 100 degrees for weeks, and that heat cooks wood siding until it warps and splits. Fiber cement holds its shape through those swings. It also stands up to hail far better than vinyl, which cracks when a storm rolls through. On a limestone-heavy lot like this one, the material's stability pairs well with a home that has already settled over decades. That combination is why we specified Hardie here instead of a cheaper alternative.
The siding phase started in mid-June and ran several days. Paint followed once the boards and battens were set.
The home now wears a clean, uniform board and batten exterior that reads far newer than its age. Cedar pollen season and summer sun won't chew through this finish the way they did the old one.
The homeowner approved the job on April 12, 2024. Windows arrived in June and went in fast, siding ran through the summer, and we completed everything on July 26.
Board and batten gives a strong vertical rhythm that fits the character of older Austin neighborhoods. The 16-inch spacing keeps the look balanced without feeling busy.
This retail job fell in the $25,000 to $30,000 range. That covered new windows, full James Hardie siding, trim and column wraps, and complete exterior paint.
Sherwin Williams Super Paint is built to resist fade and cracking through repeated 100-degree days. Paired with fiber cement, it protects the wall system for years before a refresh is needed.
