James Hardie HardiePlank Cedar Mill & Board-and-Batten Siding Installation | Full Exterior Repaint with Sherwin Williams Super Paint
This Leander siding project used James Hardie fiber cement to reclad the entire home. We mixed HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill lap boards with board and batten set 16" on center for texture and shadow lines. Fiber cement was the right call here because it shrugs off 100°+ summers, hail, and cedar pollen far better than wood. We finished with Sherwin Williams Super Paint on siding, fascia, soffit, and garage doors for a clean, lasting look.

Exterior painting followed the siding install to lock in the finish and protect the primed board. Our crew applied Sherwin Williams SuperPaint across the field siding, fascia, soffit up to 24 inches, and both garage doors. Painting primed Hardie promptly matters in Leander, where UV and cedar pollen wear on unsealed surfaces. The finished coat looks consistent and stands up to Central Texas weather.
The homeowner reached out to Austin Pro through a family and friend referral in late November 2023. We logged the lead on November 27 and moved it to a prospect just two days later, on November 29.
We inspected the existing exterior to gauge condition and plan the new profiles. The walls called for a mix of lap siding and board-and-batten accents, so we measured for HardiePlank Cedar Mill in 8.25" and 6.25" widths plus 16" on-center battens.
We built out a full siding-and-paint scope, including specialty cuts and fascia and soffit work. The homeowner approved the project on December 13, 2023, locking in James Hardie fiber cement and Sherwin Williams Super Paint.
Materials came in through ABC Supply ahead of the install date. On March 8, 2024, the crew removed the old siding and set the new Cedar Mill and board-and-batten profiles, then coated the full exterior, fascia, soffit, and garage doors.
We finished with two rounds of yard cleanup and a punch-out to catch every detail. The job was invoiced on March 8, 2024, and formally closed on May 2, 2024, leaving a durable, freshly painted exterior.
We reclad a Leander home in James Hardie fiber cement siding, blending Cedar Mill lap boards with board and batten, then repainted the full exterior. The result is a low-maintenance finish built to survive Central Texas summers and spring hail.
Older exteriors around North Rim take a beating from our weather. Sun, hail, and constant expansion cycles wear down softer materials over the years. This homeowner wanted a surface that would hold up without yearly touch-ups.
We went with James Hardie fiber cement for one main reason: it does not flinch in our climate. Wood siding warps and cups when it bakes at 100 degrees and then gets soaked by a spring storm. Fiber cement holds its shape, resists hail dents better than vinyl, and does not feed rot or pests. That matters in an area where cedar pollen and humidity work against most exteriors. We paired two board profiles on purpose so the home reads with real depth instead of one flat plane.
We delivered materials through ABC Supply and completed the full reclad in a focused push on March 8, 2024. The crew tore off the old surface, prepped the walls, and set each Hardie profile with proper spacing for expansion. Careful layout on the board and batten kept the batten spacing even across every wall.
Every Hardie board arrived primed, and we finished the whole exterior with Sherwin Williams Super Paint. Applying paint over primed fiber cement locks in color and adds another layer against UV fade. That combination is what keeps the finish looking sharp through year after year of harsh sun.
After the final coat cured, our team ran two rounds of yard cleanup and punch items. We walked the property to catch any touch-ups before signing off. The job closed out cleanly on May 2, 2024.
It handles our extreme heat, hail, and pollen without warping, rotting, or attracting pests. That toughness means far fewer repairs than wood or older siding over the life of the home.
The reclad and painting were completed in a single, well-planned install on March 8, 2024. The full timeline, from approval in December to final closeout in May, allowed for scheduling, delivery, and punch-out.
Using two profiles gives the exterior visual depth and breaks up flat wall sections. It's a design choice that makes a repaint feel like a full refresh rather than a same-look replacement.
Sherwin Williams Super Paint over primed Hardie boards seals the color and guards against UV fade from our relentless sun. It also ties the siding, trim, and garage doors into one cohesive scheme.
