Scope of Work
What We Did
James Hardie Board & Batten Fiber Cement Siding Installation · Energy-Efficient NT Twinsulator Aluminum Window Replacement
Siding
This Austin, TX siding job replaced tired exterior walls with James Hardie fiber cement in a Board & Batten pattern, spaced 16 inches on center. Fiber cement resists warping, cedar pollen buildup, and heat that wrecks wood on older homes. We wrapped the garage door jambs and beam ends in Hardie for a clean, sealed look. A Sherwin Williams Super Paint finish ties the whole exterior together and shields it from the sun.

This Austin, TX shingle roofing job used GAF materials, installed once the windows and siding were done. GAF shingles handle Austin hail and steady summer heat, which is why we lean on them for aging area homes. Roofing like this often finishes in a single on-site day. The new roof completed the home's top-to-bottom exterior upgrade.

This Austin, TX window project installed NT Windows Twinsulator aluminum windows throughout the home. We ordered them in December and received them in March, then installed right away. The Twinsulator build helps block summer heat and keeps rooms more comfortable year-round. Doing windows before the siding let us seal and trim each opening cleanly.
Learn more about our windows →Doors
New doors from NT Windows completed the entry side of this project. Fresh doors seal out heat and drafts better than tired, aging ones. We coordinated the door work with the siding and window upgrades so everything lined up cleanly. The finished result looks and functions like new. For door replacement in Austin, TX, matched exterior work makes a real difference.
Gutters
This Austin, TX gutter work added custom-fit gutters and downspouts to handle heavy Central Texas storms. Good drainage keeps water off the siding and away from the foundation on tricky limestone lots. We matched the paint on gutters and downspouts to the new exterior color. The finished system blends in while doing its job.

How It Went
The Journey
From the first phone call to the final walkthrough — what actually happened on this project.
First contact
October 26, 2025The homeowner found Austin Pro through an internet search and reached out on October 26, 2025. They wanted to update an aging exterior in the 78750 area with a modern board and batten look. We moved the project to prospect status the next day, October 27, 2025.
Evaluation
We inspected the existing wood siding, fascia, soffit, and windows. The older materials showed sun fade and wear typical of Central Texas heat and storms. We confirmed fiber cement siding and new NT aluminum windows as the best fit for the home.
Planning & approval
December 8, 2025We built a detailed scope covering James Hardie Board & Batten siding, fascia, soffit, porch ceiling, brick pockets, and full painting. The homeowner approved the project on December 8, 2025. They also took the cash, check, or ACH discount of 10 percent.
Installation
May 6, 2026Our crew installed Board & Batten siding 16" on center, plus Hardie fascia, soffit with H-mold, and the porch ceiling. We wrapped garage door jambs and beam ends in Hardie, then set the NT Twinsulator windows. Everything was painted with Sherwin Williams Super Paint and completed on May 6, 2026.
Completion
May 27, 2026We finished with two yard cleanups and a full punch-out walkthrough. Painted gutters, downspouts, and garage doors tied the exterior together. The project closed clean on May 27, 2026, backed by James Hardie's product warranty.

The Full Story
Inside This Project
Why did this Austin home need new siding?
This home sits in the 78750 ZIP, where many houses date from the 1980s and 1990s. Older wood trim and siding had taken a beating from sun and storms. Fiber cement was the right call for this exterior.
- Central Texas hail damages wood and soft siding over time
- 100-degree summers warp and fade older materials
- Cedar pollen and moisture feed rot on aging wood trim
- The homeowner wanted a modern board and batten look
What materials did we use, and why?
We chose James Hardie fiber cement set in a Board & Batten 16" On Center pattern. Fiber cement does not feed rot, resists impact, and holds paint for years. That makes it a strong fit for Austin's heat and limestone-dry, storm-heavy climate.
- James Hardie Board & Batten, batten spacing at 16" on center
- JH Fascia 8" with a 1x2 trim board
- JH Soffit with H-mold for clean joints
- 4' x 8' Select Cedarmill or Smooth porch ceiling, installed and painted
- Brick pockets built with 1" x 4" trim
- Hardie-wrapped garage door jambs and beam ends
What window did we install?
We replaced the old windows with NT Windows Twinsulator aluminum units. The aluminum frames stay stable in extreme heat and resist storm damage. Twinsulator glass cuts heat gain and helps lower cooling bills in summer.
- NT Twinsulator aluminum windows throughout
- Frames built to handle 100-degree Austin afternoons
- Insulated glass to reduce heat and outside noise
- Clean lines that match the new board and batten siding
How did the installation go?
Our crew handled siding, trim, painting, and windows in a tight, coordinated sequence. We delivered materials through ABC, wrapped the garage door jambs, and finished beam ends in Hardie for a seamless edge.
- Full exterior painting with Sherwin Williams Super Paint
- Fascia and soffit painted up to 36" and open soffit areas
- Garage doors painted to match the new color scheme
- Gutters and downspouts painted per linear foot
- Two yard cleanups and a full punch-out before close
What were the results?
The home now wears a low-maintenance, storm-ready exterior. Fiber cement and aluminum windows both fight off the wear that ages homes in this part of Austin. The painted finish ties the whole look together.
- A unified board and batten exterior, top to bottom
- Painted fascia, soffit, gutters, and garage doors
- New energy-smart windows for cooler summers
- Project closed out clean on May 27, 2026
