James Hardie HardiePlank 8.25" Select Cedar Mill Siding Installation | Full Exterior Repaint in Sherwin Williams Aged Pewter
This North Austin siding project used James Hardie HardiePlank in the 8.25" Select Cedar Mill profile. We chose primed fiber cement because it resists warping and hail damage better than wood in Central Texas heat. The install ran across several days before painting began. The result gives the home a durable, low-maintenance shell built for the local climate.

The exterior painting phase followed the siding work and used Sherwin Williams products throughout. We coated the new siding, brick, fascia, soffit, gutters, downspouts, and garage doors in Aged Pewter. The brick got two coats plus a sealer-primer coat for lasting adhesion. The whole exterior now reads as one unified, finished color.
The homeowner found Austin Pro through an internet search and reached out in early February 2023. The first contact came in on February 9, and we set up an in-person look at the home shortly after.
We inspected the existing exterior on this North Austin home during the prospect stage around February 14. The old cladding showed age and paint failure typical of the area's older housing. That review confirmed fiber cement siding as the right long-term fix.
We walked the homeowner through the James Hardie HardiePlank options and the Sherwin Williams color plan. The project was approved on February 24, 2023, with Aged Pewter selected for the full exterior.
The siding phase ran across multiple days, with material delivered through ABC Supply. Crews hung the 8.25" Select Cedar Mill profile, then moved into painting the body, brick, trim, gutters, and garage doors. Two rounds of yard cleanup and punch items kept the site in order.
The job was invoiced and completed on June 16, 2023, with a final punch out and walkthrough. The exterior came together in one cohesive Aged Pewter finish.
We re-sided a North Austin home on Thompkins Drive with James Hardie fiber cement, then painted the entire exterior in one cohesive color. The old cladding was tired; the new shell is built for Central Texas heat and hail.
Many homes in this part of Austin were built in the 1980s and 2000s. Their original cladding takes a beating from decades of sun, storms, and cedar pollen. This home showed the usual wear you find after that many Texas summers.
When we started tearing off the old siding, we confirmed why fiber cement was the right call for this house. Wood and some composite products swell and warp when North Austin hits 100-plus degrees for weeks at a time. Hail season only makes it worse, chipping and denting softer materials. The homeowner would have kept fighting these same problems with a like-for-like replacement. That is why we steered the project toward James Hardie from the start.
We installed HardiePlank in the 8.25" Select Cedar Mill profile, primed at the factory. The Cedar Mill texture gives the look of real wood grain without wood's maintenance headaches.
The siding phase ran across multiple days before any paint touched the house. Getting the fiber cement hung, fastened, and sealed correctly comes first.
Once the siding was set, we painted the whole exterior in Sherwin Williams Aged Pewter. The brick got special attention, since brick and fiber cement take paint differently.
We applied one coat of sealer-primer to the brick, then two finish coats. That sealer step locks in adhesion so the color does not flake off porous masonry down the road. The full body, trim, and metal all landed in the same Aged Pewter tone for one seamless look.
The home now has a durable exterior shell and a single, modern color from roofline to foundation. It reads as one deliberate design instead of mismatched materials.
Fiber cement handles our climate extremes. It resists the warping that wood suffers in 100-degree heat and stands up to hail far better than softer cladding. It also holds paint longer, which matters under relentless Texas sun.
The siding install itself ran over several days, followed by the painting phase. From approval in late February to a July close, the full job stayed on a clear, planned timeline.
This siding and exterior painting job fell in the $20,000 to $25,000 range. Final pricing depends on square footage, the number of surfaces painted, and prep work like brick sealing.
Yes. On this home we painted the brick, gutters, downspouts, fascia, soffit, and garage doors along with the new siding. Combining both trades gives you one unified exterior in a single project.
