James Hardie Select Cedar Mill 8.25" Fiber Cement Siding Replacement | Full Exterior Repaint with Sherwin Williams SuperPaint









This Cedar Park project called for new siding on a single side of a mostly brick home. We installed James Hardie Select Cedar Mill in the 8.25-inch primed profile, a fiber cement built for our climate. The material stands up to 100-degree summers, hail, and shifting limestone soil without warping. The result blends seamlessly with the surrounding brick.

Exterior painting in Cedar Park finished this job the right way. We coated the fresh siding with Sherwin Williams SuperPaint for lasting color and weather protection. Rather than replace healthy soffit and fascia, we repainted them along with the garage doors and gutters. Every surface now matches, and the home reads as one cohesive exterior.

This homeowner reached out through our website on August 3, 2023. They wanted the worn siding on one side of the home addressed, but weren't sure if such a small scope was worth a call. We told them it absolutely was.
We inspected the exterior and found real wear on the single siding wall from years of sun and hail. The brick on the other sides was fine and needed nothing. We also checked the soffit and fascia and confirmed they were sound enough to keep and repaint.
We built an estimate covering the James Hardie Select Cedar Mill replacement plus full exterior painting. The homeowner reviewed color options to match the existing brick. The project was approved on August 16, 2023.
The crew installed the 8.25-inch primed Select Cedar Mill over several days in mid-October. Once the planks were set and ready, painters applied Sherwin Williams SuperPaint to the new wall. They then coated the fascia, soffit, garage doors, gutters, and downspouts.
We ran two yard cleanups and a punch-out walkthrough to finish every detail. The repaired wall blended cleanly into the brick, and the whole exterior matched. The job was invoiced November 8 and closed November 30, 2023.
We replaced the siding on one side of a mostly brick home in Oakcrest, Cedar Park, TX, then repainted the rest of the exterior to match. The result is a clean, weather-ready home that looks like one seamless project.
Most of this Oakcrest home is brick. Only one side used siding, and that section had taken the brunt of years of sun and weather. Replacing the whole home made no sense here.
Small, targeted jobs like this are worth doing. You don't need a full exterior tear-off to get real value from a repair.
When we looked closely at the old siding, the damage was clear on the exposed wall. Years of 100-degree summers and hail had worn the surface down. The soffit and fascia, though, told a different story. They were still solid, straight, and worth saving.
That distinction matters. A lot of homeowners assume that if the siding is failing, everything around it must go too. We check each component on its own. Here, replacing good trim would have added cost without adding value, so we repainted it instead. Knowing when to keep material is part of doing the job right.
We chose James Hardie Select Cedar Mill in the 8.25-inch profile. Fiber cement is the right call for our part of Central Texas. It shrugs off hail, resists the swings of 100-degree heat, and won't feed the moisture problems that plague older wood siding.
Paint is what made this project feel finished. We coated the new siding with Sherwin Williams SuperPaint, a durable exterior finish built for Texas weather. Then we brought the rest of the home into the same color story.
Repainting instead of replacing saved the homeowner money on healthy surfaces. The soffit and fascia, garage doors, gutters, and downspouts all got fresh coats. When we finished, the new siding wall and the brick read as one cohesive exterior.
The siding install ran across several days in mid-October, with painting following once the planks were up. Curing and coating take time, so we don't rush the finish coat.
Yes. Fiber cement handles our extreme heat, hail, and cedar pollen far better than wood or older vinyl. It resists rot and won't warp when the limestone soil shifts under the home.
We do. This project covered just one side of the home, and the total landed in the $5,000 to $10,000 range. A smaller scope is still a real job worth doing well.
The trim on this home was in good condition. Replacing sound material adds cost with no benefit. A fresh coat of SuperPaint protects it and matches the new siding for far less.
Color selection is key. We matched the SuperPaint finish to the brick tones so the repaired wall blends in. From the curb, you can't tell where the brick ends and the siding begins.
