Siding in Lakeway, TX

Why did this Lakeway home need siding work?

This was a targeted siding project, not a claim that every wall needed replacement. The scope called for new lap siding, cedar repairs, and work around the back window. On an aging Central Texas home, it pays to define those areas before ordering materials rather than treating every wall the same.

• The back wall needed six to eight pieces beside the window and a longer piece along the bottom.
• Custom Colonial Roughsawn siding was specified for multiple sections.
• The homeowner found us through an online search and reached out on October 23, 2025.
• Our work also covered the front area at the patio edge.

What did the inspection tell us about the walls?

We inspected the home and began the estimate on October 23, 2025. The scope identified wall sections that needed 7/16-inch OSB sheathing beneath the finish siding. That backing matters: fastening new boards over a wall that needs sheathing work would leave a key part of the repair unfinished. We also planned around the window-side pieces and existing cedar rather than assuming one siding method would fit every area. The written scope calls for these repairs; it does not establish a cause for the original wear.

• Cedar siding repairs were included alongside the new fiber cement sections.
• The plan called for a new vent at the front of the garage.
• Shutters and gable vents were included in the exterior work.
• Garage-door trim work covered the sides of two doors, with gaskets included.

How was the siding plan approved?

The homeowner approved the project on January 23, 2026, after the October inspection and estimate work. We planned the siding, paint, and gutter tasks as one exterior project. That sequence let the crew address wall work before applying finish paint.

• The approved siding selection was Colonial Roughsawn lap with an 8.25-inch profile.
• The painting scope included both siding and nearby trim surfaces.
• The gutter plan specified custom, seamless aluminum rather than sectional pieces.
• Stonework near the air-conditioning unit and the stone chimney were slated for power washing.

How did the four-day siding installation go?

The crew worked on site from May 4 through May 7, 2026. We handled the specified sheathing and siding sections as part of that window, including the detailed work beside the back window. The key was to give the new lap siding its planned backing and address the cedar repairs in the same project. A fresh board alone would not complete an area where the scope also calls for wall sheathing. We did not treat the whole house as a single, uniform siding replacement.

• The wall-sheathing specification was 7/16-inch OSB.
• The garage-front vent was purchased and installed.
• The crew installed shutters and gable vents under the exterior scope.
• Final punch work included two rounds of yard cleanup.

Which exterior areas received paint or stain?

New siding was painted with Sherwin Williams SuperPaint. The paint work also reached fascia and soffit areas up to 24 inches, plus the porch ceiling. We kept the staining work distinct from the painted surfaces: the deck posts and screen room had their own finish scope.

• The screen room was specified for staining inside and out.
• Deck posts were included in the staining work.
• The scope allowed for painting additional exterior surfaces by square footage.
• The stone chimney and wall near the air-conditioning unit were power washed.

What completed the exterior work?

The gutter portion paired removal of the existing gutters with installation of 5-inch seamless aluminum gutters. That work sat alongside the siding and paint tasks, not in place of them. The crew finished on May 7 after the exterior work and cleanup.

• Existing gutters were removed and disposed of by linear foot.
• The gutter material was custom seamless aluminum.
• The final work included punch items as well as yard cleanup.
• The finished scope covered wall sections, painted trim, a porch ceiling, and gutters.
