Full Alside Mezzo Vinyl Window Replacement | James Hardie 8.25" ColorPlus Fiber Cement Siding Installation
This Del Valle project centered on full window replacement using Alside Mezzo vinyl windows. The Mezzo line was chosen for its low-profile frames and strong energy ratings. Those ratings matter in an area that sees 100-degree summers month after month. The result is a quieter, more comfortable home with windows built to resist warping in the heat.

We paired the windows with new James Hardie fiber cement siding in the 8.25-inch ColorPlus lap style. Fiber cement was the right call for a home facing hail and intense sun. The material won't rot, warp, or feed insects the way older siding can. Exterior paint went on after the boards were set, giving the house a crisp, lasting finish.
The homeowner found Austin Pro through an internet search and reached out in early October 2021. We logged the lead on October 4, 2021, and started talking through goals for both the windows and the exterior walls right away.
We inspected the full exterior and confirmed the windows had failing seals and poor insulation. The old cladding showed years of sun and storm wear. That assessment pointed clearly toward a full window replacement paired with new fiber cement siding.
We built the scope around Alside Mezzo windows and James Hardie 8.25-inch ColorPlus lap siding. The homeowner approved the plan on December 23, 2021. Window orders went in during mid-January to get the custom units in production early.
Windows arrived in mid-April and our crew installed them over three days in late April. Siding went up over three days in mid-May, followed by exterior paint.
We completed final punch-out on June 13 and closed out all on-site work by June 17, 2022. The walkthrough confirmed sealed windows and a clean, fully painted Hardie exterior. Both the Alside and James Hardie products carry manufacturer warranties for the homeowner's peace of mind.
We replaced every window and re-clad the exterior of a home on Mark Adams Road in Del Valle, TX, with Alside Mezzo windows and James Hardie fiber cement siding. The home traded dated, leaky exteriors for a tight, weather-ready shell.
The old exterior was tired and losing the fight against the local climate. Aging windows let heat and outside noise pour in. The original cladding had taken years of sun and storm damage.
Del Valle homes sit in a tough spot for exteriors. Long stretches of 100-degree heat break down old seals and finishes fast.
We went with Alside Mezzo windows because the line balances price, looks, and real performance. The narrow frames let in more glass and light. More important, the units hold up under the constant thermal stress that Central Texas throws at them.
For the walls, James Hardie fiber cement was the clear pick. Fiber cement doesn't rot, warp, or invite termites the way some older materials do. It also takes a hailstrike far better than vinyl siding. That matters in a region where a single spring storm can wreck a cheaper exterior. The 8.25-inch ColorPlus lap gave the home clean, bold shadow lines and a factory-baked color that resists fading.
This was a staged job spread over several weeks, not a quick swap. The windows were ordered in mid-January and arrived in mid-April. Custom orders take time, and we'd rather wait for the right product than rush it.
Our crew installed the windows over three days in late April. Siding followed over three days in mid-May, with a fresh coat of exterior paint after the boards were up. We handled final punch-out on June 13, with the last on-site work wrapping June 17.
The home now has a sealed, matched exterior that reads as new construction. The Mezzo windows cut heat gain and outside noise. The Hardie siding gives the walls a long-lasting shield against Texas weather.
The windows were custom-ordered in mid-January and didn't arrive until mid-April. From there, we staged windows, then siding, then paint. Doing it in the right order protects the finish and the seals.
For a home facing hail and 100-degree summers, yes. James Hardie fiber cement resists cracking, warping, and pests in ways vinyl can't match. The ColorPlus finish also holds up under harsh UV far longer.
This was a full-exterior retail job in the $60k to $75k range. That covered both the Alside Mezzo windows and the complete James Hardie re-clad with paint.
Yes. Both Alside and James Hardie back their products with manufacturer warranties, and our workmanship is covered too. Reach out to Austin Pro for the specifics on your own project.
