Complete James Hardie Select Cedar Mill Fiber Cement Siding Installation | Full Exterior Painting with Sherwin Williams Coatings
This Leander project replaced aging siding with James Hardie Select Cedar Mill in an 8.25-inch primed profile. Fiber cement was chosen for its strength against 100-degree heat, hail, and swelling from limestone-soil moisture. The crew wrapped the double garage door jambs and detailed every seam for a clean fit. The result is a low-maintenance exterior built to hold its shape for decades.

Exterior painting followed the siding install and covered every visible surface on this Barclay Ridge home. We used Sherwin Williams coatings on fascia, soffit, garage doors, entry doors, and porch railings. Quality paint protects new fiber cement from UV fade and cedar-pollen buildup common in the area. Two days of careful coating gave the home a fresh, uniform finish.
The homeowner first reached out to Austin Pro on May 9, 2022, through a James Hardie lead. The early conversation focused on replacing worn siding and refreshing the home's overall look. By May 11 the project had moved into our prospect stage.
We assessed the existing cladding and found sun fade and seam wear typical of Barclay Ridge homes built in the 2000s. The inspection confirmed the sheathing was sound enough to receive new fiber cement. We measured the walls, garage door jambs, and trim to scope both the siding and paint work.
The homeowner approved the project on May 15, 2022, after we finalized the James Hardie Select Cedar Mill selection. We planned an 8.25-inch primed profile with a full exterior paint package to follow. Material was ordered through ABC Supply Co. ahead of the install.
On-site work ran August 14 through 18, 2022. The crew spent three days on the siding, tearing off old panels, wrapping the double garage door jambs, and setting the new boards. Painting followed over two days, covering fascia, soffit, doors, and porch railings.
We finished on August 18, 2022, with the home fully clad and painted. Before calling it done, the crew completed two yard cleanup and punch passes. The homeowner was left with a durable, low-maintenance exterior ready for Central Texas heat and hail.
We stripped the old cladding off this Barclay Ridge home in Leander, TX, and replaced it with James Hardie Select Cedar Mill fiber cement, then painted the full exterior. The finished home reads clean, sharp, and built for Central Texas weather.
Many homes in this part of Leander were built in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The original siding on this house had taken years of heat, hail, and hard sun. Panels were fading and starting to show wear at the seams.
Fiber cement is the right call for Central Texas, and this home is a good example of why. James Hardie Select Cedar Mill gives you the deep wood grain look a lot of homeowners want, but it will not rot, swell, or feed termites the way real cedar does. Our 100-degree summers and sudden hail storms punish wood and vinyl alike. This material holds its shape and its color through all of it. A common mistake is picking siding on looks alone, then paying for repairs when it warps a few summers later.
The siding phase ran three days, from August 15. Our crew pulled the old panels, checked the sheathing, and set the new boards with careful spacing at every course. Tight, level runs matter most where the sun hits hardest.
Paint followed the siding and took two more days. We used Sherwin Williams coatings across the whole exterior for a uniform, protected finish. A good paint layer is what keeps new fiber cement looking fresh through years of UV and cedar pollen.
Primed fiber cement needs a proper topcoat to reach its full life, and that is where a lot of homeowners cut corners. We coated every surface listed on the worksheet, then did two rounds of yard cleanup and punch-list work before we called it done. Cedar pollen coats everything in this area each spring, and a quality Sherwin Williams finish makes that easy to rinse off. UV is the other quiet killer here, fading cheap paint fast on south-facing walls. Doing the paint right the first time saves the homeowner a repaint years sooner than they should need one.
We wrapped on August 18, 2022, with a clean, sealed, freshly painted exterior. The home now has the character of cedar without the upkeep. It is ready for whatever Leander summers throw at it.
The crew was on site five days, August 14 through 18, 2022. Siding took the first three days and painting took the final two, with some overlap at the end.
Yes. It resists the warping, rot, and hail damage that wood and vinyl struggle with in Central Texas. Over limestone-soil sites with big temperature swings, it stays stable and holds paint well.
This was a retail project in the $15,000 to $20,000 range. Final pricing depends on square footage, prep needs, and how much trim and detail work a home requires.
On this job we painted the full exterior, including fascia, soffit, doors, garage doors, and porch railings. Coating everything at once gives you one consistent color and finish across the home.
