Siding

James Hardie

This North Austin project used James Hardie HardiePlank in the 8.25" Cedarmill profile. We installed primed Select Cedar Mill boards plus 6-inch Hardie fascia across the home. Fiber cement was the right call here because it resists warping, moisture, and hail far better than wood. The finished siding gives this 78758 home a clean, low-upkeep exterior.

Exterior Painting

Sherwin Williams

We finished the exterior with Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint over the new siding. The scope covered fascia and soffit up to 24 inches, the front door, and every gutter and downspout by linear foot. SuperPaint holds color well under Austin's 100-degree summers and long UV exposure. The coats seal the boards and give the whole home a unified, fresh look.

First Contact

The homeowner found Austin Pro through Yelp and reached out on March 18, 2024. They wanted worn siding replaced and the full exterior refreshed. We set up an on-site visit to walk the home and scope the work.

Evaluation

Our team inspected the siding and roofline on site by March 21, 2024. We found warped boards, moisture at the seams, and soft, water-damaged fascia. That told us the fascia needed full replacement, not a surface patch.

PLanning & Approval

We built an estimate covering James Hardie HardiePlank siding, 6-inch Hardie fascia, and a complete Sherwin-Williams repaint. The homeowner reviewed the material choices and approved the project on March 26, 2024. Materials were ordered through ABC Supply for delivery.

Installation

The siding and painting phases each took place over multiple days in early May. Crews installed the 8.25" Cedarmill boards and new fascia first, then applied SuperPaint to the siding, fascia, soffit, door, gutters, and downspouts. Each stage got its own clean working window.

Completion

We walked the completed exterior with the homeowner and invoiced the job on May 22, 2024. The home had a fully sealed, unified finish across every surface.

Siding & Painting in North Austin, Austin (2024)

We re-sided a North Austin home in the 78758 area with James Hardie fiber cement, then wrapped the whole exterior in fresh Sherwin-Williams paint. The house went from tired and weather-worn to crisp, sealed, and built for the long haul.

Why did this North Austin home need new siding?

The old siding had taken years of North Austin weather and was showing it. Between the summer heat and the odd hailstorm, the boards had started to fade, split, and pull loose in spots.

  • Original boards showed warping and separation at the seams
  • Exposed edges let moisture creep behind the surface
  • The home sits in the 78758 corridor, where afternoon sun bakes west-facing walls
  • Fascia along the roofline needed replacing, not just patching

What did the crew find during inspection?

When our crew walked the home, the real story was at the edges and the fascia. The old fascia had soft spots where water had worked in over time, and a quick patch job would have just trapped that moisture again. That is the mistake we see most often here. Homeowners paint over failing wood fascia and the rot keeps spreading underneath. So we planned to swap the fascia for 6-inch Hardie board with the 1x2 trim included, giving the roofline a clean, rot-proof base before any paint touched it. That decision alone will save this homeowner years of repeat repairs.

What materials did we use, and why?

We chose James Hardie HardiePlank in the 8.25" Cedarmill profile for this home. Fiber cement holds up to Austin's brutal summers and sudden hail far better than wood or vinyl.

  • 8.25" Cedarmill boards deliver a real cedar-grain texture without the upkeep of wood
  • Primed Select Cedar Mill siding arrives ready for a tight paint bond
  • 6" Hardie fascia ties the roofline into the same durable material family
  • Fiber cement will not swell in humidity or feed the cedar pollen and mold that plague other sidings

The cedar-look grain matters here too. Many older North Austin homes were built with wood siding, and this profile keeps that look while dropping the maintenance headaches.

How did the siding and painting go?

The siding and painting phases each ran over several days in early May. Materials came in through ABC Supply, and our crews handled siding first, then paint, so each stage got its own clean window.

  • Siding install led by the field crew before any coating began
  • Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint applied to siding, fascia, and soffit up to 24 inches
  • Front door repainted to match the refreshed scheme
  • Gutters and downspouts coated by linear foot for a fully unified finish

SuperPaint was the pick for a reason. It resists fading under the long UV load of a Central Texas summer, so the color stays true year after year.

What were the results?

The home now has a sealed, weather-ready shell and a color scheme that reads as one clean design. Every surface, from boards to gutters, carries the same fresh coat.

  • No more exposed or failing wood at the roofline
  • A tight paint film that seals the new fiber cement
  • A low-maintenance exterior built for hail, heat, and pollen season
  • Project completed on schedule, invoiced May 22, 2024

Frequently asked questions

How long does a siding and paint project like this take?

This job moved from approval on March 26 to completed work on May 22, 2024. The hands-on siding and painting each spanned a few days in early May, run as separate phases.

Why is fiber cement a good fit for North Austin homes?

Our summers push past 100 degrees, and hail is a real risk here. Fiber cement stands up to both far better than wood, and it does not warp, rot, or attract the mold that thrives during cedar pollen season.

What did this project cost?

This retail project fell in the $15k–$20k range. That covered the HardiePlank siding, 6-inch Hardie fascia, and a full exterior repaint including the door, gutters, and downspouts.

Does the new paint protect the siding?

Yes. The Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint film seals the primed fiber cement and adds a UV-resistant layer, so the boards stay protected and the color holds through Austin's harsh sun.
