The comprehensive exterior painting scope covered every visible surface using Sherwin Williams Super Paint, a premium acrylic latex formulation engineered for Texas weather extremes. Paint application included the new siding, existing fascia and soffit up to 24", a set of shutters, and all gutters and downspouts for complete aesthetic coordination. The high-quality paint system provides exceptional adhesion to fiber cement while resisting the fading and chalking common with lower-grade coatings in our intense UV environment. This thorough approach ensures uniform color coverage and maximum longevity for all exterior painted surfaces.
The homeowner reached out to Austin Pro in mid-June 2025 as a returning customer, having been satisfied with our work on a previous project. They expressed concerns about their home's deteriorating siding and wanted a comprehensive solution that included both replacement and painting. The initial consultation was scheduled promptly to assess their specific needs and discuss material options.
Our assessment revealed siding that had reached the end of its useful life, with visible wear and potential moisture intrusion points that needed immediate attention.
