Complete James Hardie HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill Siding Installation | Full Exterior Repaint with Sherwin Williams SuperPaint
This Westlake home received a full siding replacement using James Hardie HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill in an 8.25-inch profile. We installed fresh 7/16-inch OSB sheathing underneath for structural strength and a flat nailing surface. Fiber cement was chosen because it resists warping, rot, and pests through Austin's 100-degree summers and sudden hail. The finished exterior gives this older home a crisp, durable face that will hold up for decades.

We coated the new siding and trim with Sherwin Williams SuperPaint for lasting color and UV protection. The scope covered fascia, soffit, porch ceiling, garage doors, and the front entry door. We also painted the brick with two coats plus a bonding primer and sealer for full adhesion. This exterior paint work ties the whole home together and stands up to intense Central Texas sun.
The homeowner found Austin Pro through an internet search and reached out in early March 2022. We logged the lead on March 1 and moved it to a prospect two days later, on March 3. Early conversations focused on replacing the worn exterior on this Westlake home.
We inspected the existing cladding, fascia, soffit, and gutters to gauge the full scope. The assessment flagged wear from years of Central Texas heat, humidity, and cedar pollen. We also noted rotted wood at the garage door jambs that would need rebuilding.
We built a detailed estimate covering siding, new sheathing, gutter removal, shutters, and a full paint package. The homeowner approved the project on March 11, 2024. Selections included James Hardie HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill and Sherwin Williams SuperPaint.
Siding work began in early May, running across multiple days from demo through sheathing and install. The crew set new 7/16-inch OSB before hanging the 8.25-inch fiber cement boards. Painters followed with a full exterior coat, including brick, doors, and new shutters, plus two yard cleanups.
We invoiced and completed the project on July 12, 2024, after a final punch and walkthrough. The homeowner received a fully refreshed exterior built to handle Austin's harsh seasons.
We re-clad this 1980s-era Westlake home in James Hardie fiber cement siding, then painted the entire exterior with Sherwin Williams SuperPaint. The result is a weather-tough shell built for Austin's brutal summers and spring hail.
The original cladding on this home had taken a beating from years of Central Texas weather. Older exteriors in the 78746 area tend to warp, crack, and let moisture creep in behind the wall. Fiber cement solves that for good.
When we pulled the old siding, we got a clear look at the wall behind it. That is where a lot of homeowners get surprised, so we planned for it. We installed brand-new 7/16-inch OSB wall sheathing across the affected sections to give the fiber cement a flat, solid nailing base. Skipping that step is a common shortcut that leads to wavy walls and loose panels down the road. Fresh sheathing also tightens up the whole envelope against Austin's wind-driven rain and sudden temperature swings.
We chose HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill for a few solid reasons. The 8.25-inch reveal gives clean, generous lines that suit a larger Westlake home. Fiber cement will not warp or swell the way wood does when the thermometer climbs past 100 degrees. It also stands up to hail far better than vinyl, which can crack or dent in a spring storm. The Cedar Mill texture keeps a natural wood-grain look without the rot, splitting, or pest problems that real cedar brings in this climate.
Once the new siding was set, our painters coated the full exterior with Sherwin Williams SuperPaint. This job went well beyond the walls. We painted fascia, soffit, the porch ceiling, both garage doors, and the front entry door for a unified finish.
This Westlake home went from a tired, dated exterior to a crisp, low-maintenance envelope. The siding and paint now work as one system to keep water out and color locked in. The homeowner gets years of easy upkeep and strong curb appeal.
Siding replacement runs across multiple days, since demo, sheathing, and install each take time. Paint follows once the new boards are set. This project moved through install and invoicing by July 12, 2024.
It handles the extremes here better than wood or vinyl. Fiber cement resists warping in 100-degree heat, shrugs off hail impact, and does not attract pests. That makes it a strong long-term choice for the 78746 area.
This job fell in the $60k to $75k range. Final pricing depends on square footage, wall repairs found during demo, and the extent of paint work, like coating brick and multiple doors.
The homeowner wanted a cohesive color across the whole exterior. We used two coats over a bonding primer and sealer so the paint grips the masonry and holds up through Central Texas weather.
Austin Pro crafts exteriors that not only captivate but also promise steadfast protection and reliability, embodying the vibrant spirit of Austin in every facade. Your home's exterior is its silent storyteller and first impression; let us help it speak volumes without uttering a word.
