Siding & Exterior Painting in Timbergrove, Cedar Park, TX

Why did this Cedar Park home need new siding?

Older homes around Cedar Park take a beating from our climate. The original cladding here had worn down and no longer sealed the walls the way it should.

• Summer days routinely push past 100 degrees, which dries and splits wood siding
• Spring hail chips and cracks softer materials over time
• Cedar pollen and moisture work into seams and speed up rot
• The homeowner wanted a look that keeps its shape for the long haul

What did the crew find during the inspection?

Before any new boards go up, we open things up to see what is really happening behind the old siding. On this Timbergrove job, that step mattered. We found spots where the wall base was no longer flat or fully sound, which is common on homes of this age in limestone-soil neighborhoods that shift slightly over the years. That is why the scope included 7/16-inch OSB wall sheathing across the affected areas. A homeowner who skips this and installs new siding over a wavy or soft base ends up with visible bulges and boards that never sit right. Getting the sheathing flat first is the quiet part of the job that makes the finished wall look sharp.

What materials did we use, and why?

We went with James Hardie HardiePlank in the Select Cedar Mill texture at 8.25 inches wide. Fiber cement gives you the grain of real cedar without the swelling, cracking, or bug damage.

• Select Cedar Mill face for a natural wood-grain look
• 8.25-inch exposure for clean, modern lap lines
• Double garage door jamb wrap for a finished, sealed edge
• Single jamb wrap detail on the secondary opening
• Material delivered through ABC Supply for the fiber cement package

How did the exterior painting come together?

Once the siding was up, we coated the whole exterior in Sherwin Williams SuperPaint. This step ties the new boards to every trim detail so nothing looks patched together.

• Fascia and soffit painted up to 24 inches
• Porch ceiling finished for a clean overhead look
• Garage doors coated to match the body color
• Gutters and downspouts painted per linear foot

SuperPaint holds its color under the strong UV that Cedar Park sees most of the year. That matters here, where cheaper coatings can chalk and fade within a few seasons.

How long did the whole project take?

Siding is not a one-day job, and we do not rush it. Prep, sheathing, board install, and paint each get their own time on site.

• Siding install ran across several working days
• Exterior painting followed once the siding was up
• Two yard cleanups plus a full punch-out closed things out
• All work wrapped on March 16, 2026
