Scope of Work

What We Did

Complete James Hardie HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill Siding Installation · Full Fascia, Soffit, and Sherwin Williams SuperPaint Exterior Finish

Siding

This Leander siding project used James Hardie HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill 8.25", a fiber cement board that mimics real wood grain. We picked it because fiber cement shrugs off 100°+ summers, hail, and moisture far better than wood. The scope included new Hardie fascia and soffit, wrapped garage door jambs, and a full paint finish in Sherwin Williams Super Paint. The result is a durable, low-maintenance exterior sized for the home in the Lakewood neighborhood of Leander, TX.

How It Went

The Journey

From the first phone call to the final walkthrough — what actually happened on this project.

First contact

The homeowner found Austin Pro through an internet search and reached out on Aug 25, 2025. They wanted a tougher, lower-maintenance exterior for their Leander home. We started scoping the project the next day, Aug 26, 2025.

Evaluation

We assessed the full exterior, checking the existing siding, fascia, and soffit condition. The inspection confirmed the home was a strong fit for James Hardie fiber cement, given Central Texas heat and hail. We also noted the double garage door jamb that would need wrapping.

Planning & approval

We built a scope around 8.25" HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill with matching 6" fascia and soffit. The homeowner selected Sherwin Williams SuperPaint for siding, trim, and garage doors. The plan and pricing landed in the $15k–$20k retail range, and the homeowner approved them.

Installation

Our crew set the primed Select Cedar Mill siding, installed JH fascia and soffit with H-mold, and wrapped both garage door jambs. Painters then finished the siding, trim, and garage doors with SuperPaint, and the work was completed on Nov 18, 2025.

Completion

We ran two rounds of yard cleanup and punch items to confirm a clean, complete finish. The project was completed on Nov 18, 2025. The job closed out on Apr 15, 2026, backed by James Hardie's product durability.

The Full Story

Inside This Project

Why did this Leander home need new siding?

Older exteriors in the Leander area take a beating. Central Texas hits 100°+ in summer, then swings into spring hail and heavy cedar pollen. This homeowner wanted siding that would hold up without constant upkeep.

Original siding showed wear from years of heat and moisture cycles
Limestone soil around the foundation causes seasonal movement and stress
The homeowner found us through an internet search on Aug 25, 2025

What materials did we use, and why?

We used James Hardie fiber cement in the 8.25" Select Cedar Mill profile. Fiber cement resists rot, pests, and impact far better than wood or older composite siding. That matters a lot when hail season rolls through Williamson County.

What were the results?

Straight Answers

Questions About This Project

How long did the siding project take?

The install itself was completed on Nov 18, 2025. The homeowner first reached out on Aug 25, 2025, and we moved through selection and scheduling before the install.

Why is James Hardie siding good for the Leander climate?

Fiber cement resists warping and cracking through 100°+ summers and holds up to spring hail. It also shrugs off pests and moisture better than wood, which suits homes on shifting limestone soil.

What did this siding project cost?

This retail project fell in the $15k–$20k range. That covered HardiePlank siding, 6" fascia, soffit, garage door jamb wraps, and full painting with SuperPaint.

Do you paint the siding, or does it come pre-finished?

On this job we installed primed Select Cedar Mill, then painted it on site with Sherwin Williams SuperPaint. That let us match the fascia, soffit, and garage doors for one consistent color across the home.
