Full James Hardie Select Cedar Mill Fiber Cement Re-Clad | McElroy Metal Snap Lock Standing Seam Roof Replacement
This Jewett siding project used James Hardie Select Cedar Mill fiber cement in a 12-inch reveal. We paired it with fresh 6-inch Hardie fascia and Hardie soffit for a fully matched exterior. Fiber cement was chosen because it holds up to 100-degree summers and won't feed pests like wood. A Sherwin Williams Super Paint finish locks in color and shields against cedar pollen and moisture.

We installed McElroy Metal standing seam roofing with a Snap Lock panel system in Jewett, TX. The concealed fasteners leave no exposed screw holes for hail or water to work through. Standing seam handles Central Texas heat swings and sheds storm debris cleanly. The result is a low-maintenance roof built to outlast a second layer of shingles.
This project came to us through a personal referral, and first contact landed on Oct 14, 2023. The homeowner in Jewett wanted a full exterior refresh, covering both siding and a roof that had seen better days.
We assessed the home's aging cladding and its double-layer shingle roof during the initial review. The inspection confirmed the fascia and soffit were past repair, and that the roof needed a full tear-off down to the deck before any new system could go on.
After the walkthrough, we built a scope covering James Hardie Select Cedar Mill siding, matching Hardie fascia and soffit, and McElroy Metal standing seam roofing. The homeowner approved the plan on Nov 8, 2023, locking in materials and finish choices including Sherwin Williams Super Paint.
Materials staged through ABC Supply ahead of the install. On Feb 22, 2024, both crews worked the home the same day, handling a double-layer roof tear-off, one wall opening closed in, and a full re-clad with new siding, fascia, and soffit.
We wrapped both trades on Feb 22, 2024, running two yard-cleanup and punch-out passes before final walkthrough. The exterior was fully painted and sealed, and the job officially closed on Mar 22, 2024.
We stripped a tired, double-layered exterior off this Jewett home and rebuilt it with James Hardie fiber cement siding and a McElroy Metal standing seam roof. The whole exterior now reads clean, tight, and built for Central Texas weather.
The old cladding had reached the end of its life, and the roof sat under two layers of shingles that trapped heat. A home this close to Lake Limestone takes constant sun, humidity swings, and the occasional hail cell rolling through.
Here's what pushed the decision to a full replacement:
Pulling the old exterior told us the real story. Once the siding came off, we could inspect the wall sheathing and confirm what needed to close in before new panels went up. The roof tear-off was the bigger job, since it meant removing a double layer of shingles down to a clean deck. That extra layer is exactly what a homeowner shouldn't leave in place. Trapped heat and old fasteners quietly shorten the life of everything above them, and metal panels demand a flat, sound deck to lock together correctly.
We went with James Hardie Select Cedar Mill in a 12-inch reveal for the walls. Fiber cement gives you the warm cedar-grain look people love, without the rot, warping, or insect trouble that real wood brings in a hot, humid climate. It also takes paint beautifully and holds it for years. That matters in Jewett, where sun and cedar pollen work hard on any finish.
We matched the walls with Hardie fascia and Hardie soffit for a single, consistent system. Then we sealed it all with Sherwin Williams Super Paint.
The roof got a McElroy Metal Snap Lock standing seam system, chosen for how it handles Central Texas storms. Standing seam hides its fasteners inside the seam, so there are no exposed screw heads for hail to dent open or water to creep past. The panels snap together and expand and contract with the big daily temperature swings this region sees. Shingles crack and shed granules under that stress; a snap-lock metal roof rides it out. For a lake-area home that catches wind and hail, it's the roof that stops us from coming back every few seasons.
Both trades ran on the same completion day, Feb 22, 2024, after materials staged through our supplier ABC Supply. The siding and roofing crews worked the home top to bottom so nothing got walked back over.
The homeowner approved the work on Nov 8, 2023, and we completed the full install on Feb 22, 2024. The job closed out on Mar 22, 2024 after final walkthrough.
It doesn't warp, rot, or feed insects the way wood siding can in humid, 100-degree summers. Paired with Sherwin Williams Super Paint, it holds color and sheds cedar pollen and moisture for years.
This full exterior fell in the $60k–$75k range. That covered a double-layer roof tear-off, standing seam metal, and a complete James Hardie re-clad with new fascia and soffit.
For a hail-prone, sun-baked area near Lake Limestone, yes. The concealed fasteners and expansion-friendly panels outlast shingles and cut down on repeat repairs.
