Full James Hardie Smooth Fiber Cement Siding Installation | Energy-Efficient NT Twinsulator Aluminum Window Replacement
This Austin project centered on a full James Hardie fiber cement siding replacement. We used the James Hardie Smooth material for a clean, modern look. Fiber cement was chosen because it resists Central Texas heat, hail impact, and pest damage. The finished exterior is durable, fire-resistant, and low-maintenance for years to come.

We paired the siding work with new NT Windows across the home. The project used the NT Twinsulator aluminum window line for strength and energy savings. One opening was changed to match the new layout and improve the elevation. These windows help keep the home cooler during Austin's 100-degree summers.
The homeowner found Austin Pro through an internet search and reached out in February 2022. We logged the lead on February 22, 2022, and moved it to a prospect two days later. The early conversation focused on replacing aging exterior siding and outdated windows.
We inspected the full exterior of this South Austin home in the 78748 area. The old cladding showed heat and weather wear typical of homes built in the 1990s and 2000s. We also reviewed the window openings, including one that would need resizing for the new layout.
We walked the homeowner through James Hardie fiber cement options and settled on the smooth finish. Window selections landed on the NT Twinsulator aluminum line. The project was approved on April 18, 2022, with materials sourced through ABC Supply, Lowe's, NT Window, and Sherwin Williams.
Our crew completed the siding and window work in a single day on January 26, 2023. We resized one window opening, then framed and flashed it before wrapping the new James Hardie panels. The trades were sequenced so the home stayed sealed throughout.
After install, we walked the exterior to confirm clean lines and proper flashing around every opening. The home came away with durable smooth fiber cement siding and energy-efficient NT aluminum windows. We invoiced on January 26, 2023, and closed the project on February 15, 2023.
We replaced the full exterior of this South Austin home with James Hardie fiber cement siding and new NT Windows, finishing the job in a single day on January 26, 2023. The home now has a tougher, cleaner shell built for Central Texas weather.
Older South Austin homes take a beating from the sun. Summers here push past 100 degrees, and hail seasons chip away at aging exteriors. This home's old cladding had reached the end of its life and needed a full replacement.
We chose James Hardie fiber cement in the smooth finish for its strength and clean look. Fiber cement handles heat, hail, and pests better than wood or vinyl. It also resists fire, which matters in dry Central Texas conditions.
We installed new NT Windows using the Twinsulator aluminum line during the same visit. One existing opening was changed to fit the updated layout. Aluminum frames add strength and pair well with the new siding.
Our crew handled both the siding and window work in a single day. Coordinating the two trades kept the timeline tight and the home sealed quickly. The changed opening was framed, flashed, and fit before the new siding wrapped around it.
The home now has a durable, modern exterior that fits the neighborhood. The smooth James Hardie panels give a crisp look, and the NT aluminum windows tighten up the envelope. Together they cut heat gain and lower upkeep.
If you're planning a similar exterior refresh, Austin Pro can walk you through siding and window options that fit your home and budget.
Fiber cement resists the heat, hail, and pests common in Central Texas. It won't warp in 100-degree summers or rot from moisture. That makes it a strong long-term choice for South Austin homes.
The install itself was completed in one day, on January 26, 2023. The full timeline ran longer, with approval in April 2022 and closeout on February 15, 2023.
This retail project fell in the $40k–$50k range. Final pricing depends on home size, material choices, and how many openings need changes.
Yes. The NT Twinsulator line is built to slow heat transfer during hot Austin summers. Paired with new siding, the home holds cooler air better.
