James Hardie Select Cedar Mill 8.25" Fiber Cement Siding Installation | Full Sherwin Williams SuperPaint Exterior Repaint
This Cedar Park siding project replaced worn cladding with James Hardie Select Cedar Mill in the 8.25-inch lap profile. We wrapped both garage door jambs and added brick pocket trim for clean, weathertight edges. Fiber cement was the right call here because it resists warping through Central Texas heat and hail. The finished walls sit flatter and straighter than the original boards ever did.

The exterior painting phase followed the new siding a few days later, using Sherwin Williams SuperPaint. We coated the siding, fascia and soffit up to 24 inches, the porch ceiling, and the garage doors. SuperPaint was chosen for its UV hold and mildew resistance in humid Cedar Park summers. The uniform finish ties the whole exterior together and protects the raw fiber cement.
The homeowner found Austin Pro through an internet search and reached out on February 24, 2026. They were tired of patching failing siding and wanted a durable, one-and-done fix for the Cedar Park home.
During the walkthrough we checked the sun-facing walls, the masonry transitions, and both garage door openings. The old boards showed cupping and lost paint adhesion, and the garage jambs needed wrapping. We noted the brick pocket detail as a spot where water was getting behind the cladding.
We built an estimate covering James Hardie Select Cedar Mill siding plus a full Sherwin Williams SuperPaint scope. The homeowner approved the project on March 6, 2026. Material was scheduled for delivery through ABC Supply ahead of the crew's start date.
The siding phase kicked off on March 10 and ran a few days. The crew installed the 8.25-inch Select Cedar Mill, wrapped the split double garage door jambs, and set the 1x4 brick pocket trim at the masonry lines. Once the new boards were clean and settled, the paint crew coated the siding, fascia, soffit, porch ceiling, and garage doors.
We ran two rounds of yard cleanup and punch-out to catch every detail before finishing. The project was completed and invoiced on March 23, 2026. The homeowner is left with a sealed, freshly painted James Hardie exterior built for years of Central Texas weather.
We replaced the exterior cladding on this Cedar Park home with James Hardie fiber cement siding, then finished it with a full exterior paint job. The house went from tired and patchy to a clean, sealed shell built for Central Texas weather.
The original cladding had taken years of abuse from hail, sun, and moisture. Boards had cupped and pulled loose in spots, leaving gaps where water and cedar pollen could work in.
The homeowner wanted a fix that would last, not another round of patching.
Once we started pulling boards, the garage door openings needed the most attention. The jambs on the split double, two singles, needed to be wrapped so the new siding would seal cleanly against the frames. We also cut fresh brick pocket trim, the 1x4 detail where siding meets the masonry, so there would be no ragged edge left exposed to rain.
That brick pocket is a step a lot of crews skip. Skip it, and you get a gap that traps water against the wall and invites rot right where you can't see it. We built ours from primed material and labor on the same line, so the transition sits tight and paint-ready.
We went with James Hardie Select Cedar Mill in the 8.25-inch profile. Fiber cement holds its shape through the freeze-thaw nights and 100-degree afternoons that wreck lesser boards.
The primed Cedar Mill also gives a real wood-grain texture without the maintenance headache of actual cedar.
Paint followed the siding by a few days, once the new boards had settled and been cleaned down. We coated everything with Sherwin Williams SuperPaint, a product built to hold color under hard Central Texas UV and resist mildew through humid summers.
The crew didn't stop at the walls. We painted the fascia and soffit up to 24 inches, the porch ceiling, and both garage doors so the whole exterior reads as one finished piece.
The home now sits behind a straight, sealed wall of fiber cement with a uniform paint finish. Every edge, from the brick line to the garage jambs, is wrapped and protected.
We started the siding phase on March 10, and it ran a few days. Painting wrapped shortly after, with the project completed and invoiced on March 23, 2026.
The limestone-soil ground and wide temperature swings here punish wood and vinyl. Fiber cement stays dimensionally stable, so it won't warp in summer heat or crack after a hailstorm the way older cladding does.
This siding and exterior painting job fell in the $15,000 to $20,000 range. Final pricing depends on wall area, trim details, and how much of the exterior gets repainted.
Yes. The Select Cedar Mill ships primed, so once it's installed and clean, we top it with SuperPaint. That combination seals the fiber cement and gives you the longest-lasting finish.
