Siding

James Hardie

This Black Rock home got a full siding replacement using James Hardie HardiePlank Lap Siding. We chose fiber cement because it resists warping, cracking, and pests in Central Texas weather. The tear-off and install covered the whole home, minus the enclosed lakefront patio. The finished exterior looks sharp and holds up to 100-degree summers.

Exterior Painting

Sherwin Williams

We followed the siding work with a complete exterior paint job on all fascia and soffit. Sherwin Williams coatings gave the trim a tough, weather-ready finish. The paint seals wood against sun, moisture, and cedar pollen buildup. Fresh color ties the new siding and trim together for a clean, cohesive look.

First Contact

The homeowner came to us as a previous customer, referred through one of our salesmen. That relationship started the conversation back on July 21, 2021, when the lead first came in. Trust from past work made the first talk simple and direct.

Evaluation

We assessed the home's worn exterior and the condition of the fascia and soffit. The lakefront location and weather exposure guided the scope from the start. We confirmed the enclosed patio would stay out of the siding work.

PLanning & Approval

The project was approved on August 9, 2021, as an insurance claim in the $15k to $20k range. We locked in James Hardie HardiePlank Lap Siding and planned the paint work for the fascia and soffit. Product selections and scope were set before install day.

Installation

On-site work ran March 19th through March 23, 2022. The siding crew spent three full days removing the old exterior and installing HardiePlank across the home. Painting the fascia and soffit followed over the next two days.

Completion

All on-site work finished March 23, 2022, with a clean, uniform exterior and freshly painted trim. We walked the home to confirm sharp board lines and even paint coverage. The result is a low-maintenance shell built for Central Texas conditions.

We tore off the tired exterior on this lakefront home in Black Rock, Buchanan Dam, TX, and replaced it with James Hardie HardiePlank Lap Siding, then painted all the fascia and soffit. The home now has a durable, uniform shell built for lake-country weather.

Why did this Black Rock home need new siding?

Lakefront homes near Lake Buchanan take a beating. Sun, wind off the water, and swings in humidity wear down older siding fast. This exterior had reached the end of its life and needed a full replacement, not a patch.

  • Original siding showed age and weather damage across multiple walls
  • Home sits in the Black Rock neighborhood right by the water
  • Work was handled as an insurance claim
  • Project value landed in the $15k to $20k range

What did the crew find on site?

Once we started pulling the old boards, the scope came into focus. We planned a full tear-off and replacement across the home, with one clear exception: the enclosed patio on the lakefront elevation stayed as-is. That call kept the job focused on the walls that actually needed the work. We also confirmed the fascia and soffit were due for fresh paint, since bare and faded trim near the lake fails quickly once the sun and moisture get into it.

  • Enclosed lakefront patio excluded from the siding scope
  • Fascia and soffit flagged for complete repainting
  • Full-home wall coverage otherwise

What materials did we use, and why?

We went with James Hardie HardiePlank Lap Siding because fiber cement is the right fit for this climate. It does not warp in 100-degree-plus summers the way older materials do, and it shrugs off hail and hard rain far better than wood. Fiber cement also resists rot and pests, which matters on a home this close to the water. For a lakefront property that sees intense sun and humidity, that durability pays off for decades. It gave the homeowner a low-maintenance exterior that still looks sharp.

  • HardiePlank Lap Siding in fiber cement for the full home
  • Material chosen for heat, hail, and moisture resistance
  • Paint supplies sourced through Sherwin Williams and local building suppliers

How did the installation go?

The siding crew worked the home over three full days, March 20 through March 22. Clean lines and proper flashing were the priority, since a lakefront wall has no room for shortcuts. Paint followed right after.

  • Siding install ran three full days on site
  • Painting the fascia and soffit followed the next two days
  • All on-site work wrapped March 23, 2022
  • Trades coordinated so paint started as soon as siding was set

What were the results?

The home came out with a crisp, uniform exterior that reads clean from the water and the street. New Sherwin Williams coatings on the fascia and soffit tie the whole look together. The finished shell is ready for whatever Central Texas throws at it.

  • Full HardiePlank exterior across the home
  • Freshly painted, sealed trim on every worked elevation
  • A low-maintenance finish suited to lake-country weather

Frequently asked questions

How long did this siding and painting project take?

The crew was on site for five days total, from March 19 to March 23, 2022. Siding took three full days, and the fascia and soffit painting ran the two days that followed.

Why is fiber cement a good choice near Lake Buchanan?

Fiber cement handles the region's harsh sun, hail, and humidity without warping or rotting. That durability is a real advantage for a lakefront home exposed to constant weather off the water.

Was this project handled through insurance?

Yes. This was an insurance job, and the total value fell in the $15k to $20k range. We coordinated the scope to cover the full home while leaving the enclosed lakefront patio out.

Does the painting protect the new siding, too?

The painting focused on fascia and soffit, sealing that trim against sun and moisture. Fresh coats keep the wood trim from failing early and give the whole exterior a finished, unified look.
