Siding & Doors in Village At Western Oaks, Austin, TX

What did this Village At Western Oaks project include?

The homeowner wanted more than a siding change. The work covered the home’s exterior finish, its front entry, and removal of an old cover at the back. Those are separate tasks, but each affects how the finished home looks from the outside. Treating them as one project gave us a clear way to plan the work without mistaking the backyard removal for a new patio-cover installation.

The scope called for 8.25-inch Primed Select Cedar Mill siding, a Provia Heritage door, and paint for the new siding. It also included paint on fascia and soffit areas up to 24 inches. At the back, we removed the existing pergola and posts. No replacement patio cover was part of this job.

Why use primed fiber cement siding on this Austin home?

We used James Hardie Primed Select Cedar Mill fiber cement siding because the project called for a painted exterior, not a factory-finished color. The primed surface gave the paint crew a planned finish step after siding installation. Its cedar-mill texture supplied a wood-look detail without changing the specified material to wood. That distinction matters on an Austin exterior exposed to 100°+ summer heat: homeowners should know which material they are getting, not judge it by texture alone.

• The selected siding width was 8.25 inches; that figure describes the specified product, not a measured reveal.
• Sherwin Williams Super Paint was specified for the siding finish.
• Fascia and soffit painting sat alongside the siding work rather than being assumed to come with every siding job.

What happened before the crew arrived?

The homeowner reached out through our website on May 20, 2024. We inspected the home and began the estimate on May 29, then the homeowner approved the project on May 30. That spring sequence was the planning period. It should not be confused with the four days the crew later spent on site in September.

• The approved work covered both James Hardie siding and the Provia Heritage front door.
• The backyard removal was included alongside, not substituted for, the new exterior materials.
• The paint scope named Sherwin Williams Super Paint for siding and separately addressed fascia and soffit.

How did the September installation come together?

Our crew worked on site from September 20 through September 23, 2024. The siding and door were part of the same multi-day installation, with paint work and removal of the old backyard structure also in scope. We did not treat the start date as the day the homeowner first called. September 23 marks the last day of on-site work.

A front door and painted siding call for different tasks, even when they share a schedule. We fitted the Provia Heritage entry door at the front and used the specified primed fiber cement on the siding portion. The crew removed the pergola and posts at the rear rather than building a replacement. That matters if you are comparing project photos or quotes: removal work does not mean a new patio cover was installed.

What was finished at the home?

By September 23, the exterior had new siding, a newly installed front door, and painted areas covered by the scope. The crew also handled punch items and yard cleanup. Those finishing tasks matter on a project that includes siding work and demolition at opposite sides of a home.

• The siding received its specified Sherwin Williams Super Paint finish.
• The paint scope included fascia and soffit areas up to 24 inches.
• The backyard pergola and posts were removed.
• The scope included two yard-clean passes and a final punch-out.
