Siding

James Hardie

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

Sherwin Williams

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.

First Contact

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

Frequently asked questions

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.
