Scope of Work
What We Did
James Hardie Select Cedar Mill 8.25" Fiber Cement Siding Replacement · Full Exterior Repaint with Sherwin Williams SuperPaint
Siding
This Cedar Park siding job used James Hardie Select Cedar Mill 8.25" fiber cement on a single side of the home. The other walls were brick, so we handled just the one section that needed it. Fiber cement holds up well against Central Texas heat, hail, and shifting limestone soil. The crew worked over four days and left the yard clean, proving a small siding job is worth doing right.

For this Cedar Park exterior painting job we used Sherwin Williams SuperPaint on the fresh siding and trim. The soffit and fascia were still solid, so repainting made more sense than replacing them. We also refreshed the garage doors, gutters, and downspouts to match. SuperPaint stands up to 100-degree summers and cedar pollen, giving the home a clean, uniform look.

How It Went
The Journey
From the first phone call to the final walkthrough — what actually happened on this project.
First contact
August 3, 2023This 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.
Evaluation
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.
Planning & approval
August 16, 2023We 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.
Installation
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.
Completion
November 30, 2023We 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.

The Full Story
Inside This Project
Why did only one side of this home need new siding?
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.
- Three of four walls are brick and stayed untouched
- Just one siding wall was removed and rebuilt
- Existing soffit and fascia were sound enough to keep
What did the crew find during the inspection?
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.
What materials did we use, and why?
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.
- 8.25-inch Select Cedar Mill planks, primed and ready for paint
- Delivered through ABC Supply Co.
- Cedar Mill texture matches the look of natural wood grain
- Fiber cement holds up better than wood against limestone soil movement
How did the exterior painting tie it all together?
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.
- Fascia and soffit painted up to 24 inches
- Garage doors refreshed to match the trim
- Gutters and downspouts coated by linear foot
- Paint supplied through Sherwin Williams Co.
How long did the whole project take?
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.
- Lead came in August 3, 2023, through our website
- Work approved August 16, 2023
- Two yard cleanups and punch-out visits closed the job
- Project closed November 30, 2023
Straight Answers
Questions About This Project
Is James Hardie siding worth it in Cedar Park?
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.
Do you take on small siding jobs like a single wall?
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.
Why repaint the soffit and fascia instead of replacing them?
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.
How do you keep the new siding matched to existing brick?
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.
