NT Windows

This Leander project centered on a full window replacement using the NT Presidential line from NT Windows. We chose these vinyl windows for their strength in 100-degree summers and their tight seal against cedar pollen and dust. The old units were pulled and hauled off before the new ones were set over several days. The result is a home that stays cooler and looks sharper from the curb.

Siding

James Hardie

The second phase brought new siding to this Black Kettle home in Leander. Our crew adjusted opening widths up to 72 inches as part of the siding scope. Materials were supplied through ABC Supply, with Sherwin Williams paint finishing the exterior. The siding work followed the windows to keep everything sealed and clean around each new unit.

First Contact

The homeowner found Austin Pro through an internet search and reached out on August 11, 2022. Early conversations focused on replacing aging windows before another hot Central Texas summer, with siding as a natural second phase.

Evaluation

By August 15, 2022, the project moved into the prospect stage. We assessed the existing windows and siding condition, measured each opening, and confirmed which widths would need adjustment during the siding phase.

PLanning & Approval

The homeowner approved the project on August 21, 2022. We finalized the NT Presidential window selection and siding scope, then placed the window order in August, knowing lead times were running long that year.

Installation

The windows arrived in December 2022, and our crew installed them over multiple days that month. We returned in February 2023 for the siding, adjusting opening widths up to 72 inches and finishing with Sherwin Williams paint.

Completion

The project was invoiced and marked complete on March 9, 2023, then closed on March 23, 2023. The homeowner ended up with a sealed, refreshed exterior ready for summer heat, hail season, and cedar pollen.

Why did this Black Kettle home need new windows?

Older windows in Leander homes tend to leak air and let heat pour in. This homeowner wanted a real fix before another 100-degree summer.

The old units were tired and no longer sealing well. That drives up cooling bills and lets fine cedar pollen sneak inside during allergy season.

  • Original windows removed and hauled off the site
  • NT Presidential vinyl units chosen for heat resistance
  • New frames set to seal tight against dust and pollen
  • Multi-day install to fit each opening correctly

What made the NT Presidential line the right pick?

We went with the NT Presidential line for a few clear reasons. Vinyl holds up well in our brutal summer heat without warping or fading the way cheaper frames can. NT Windows builds these units right here for Texas conditions, so they handle the swing from 100-degree afternoons to cold snaps without losing their seal. That local build also meant fewer surprises during install. The tighter seal keeps conditioned air in and keeps cedar pollen and grit out, which matters a lot in this part of Central Texas.

How did the timeline actually play out?

This project ran long, and we want to be honest about that. We ordered the windows in August 2022 and did not receive them until December.

Manufacturing lead times were stretched that year. Once the windows arrived, we moved fast.

  • Windows ordered: August 2022
  • Windows received: December 2022
  • Window install: December 2022 (multiple days)
  • Siding phase: February 2023

Why did the siding follow the windows?

Sequence matters on a job like this. We install windows first, then bring the siding right up to each new unit for a clean, sealed edge.

Doing it the other way risks gaps and cut lines that never look right. On this home, our siding scope included adjusting opening widths up to 72 inches where needed. Anything wider than that gets a custom quote from the installer, since oversized openings need extra framing and flashing work. That approach keeps water out during hail season and heavy Texas storms.

  • Siding materials supplied through ABC Supply
  • Width changes handled up to 72 inches (6 feet)
  • Finished and protected with Sherwin Williams paint
  • Siding tied cleanly into every new window frame

What were the results?

The home now has a matched, weather-ready exterior from top to bottom. The new windows and fresh siding work together to seal the envelope and lift the curb appeal.

  • Cooler interior heading into summer heat
  • Fewer drafts and less pollen intrusion
  • A crisp, refreshed exterior color
  • One coordinated finish across windows and siding

Frequently asked questions

How long does a windows and siding project like this take?

The hands-on work spanned two visits, one in December for windows and one in February for siding. Each phase took multiple days. The bigger delay was the window order, which took from August into December to arrive.

Why is vinyl a smart window choice in Leander?

Vinyl resists the warping and seal failure that our 100-plus-degree summers cause. It also handles temperature swings well and keeps fine cedar pollen out during allergy season.

What did this project cost?

This full windows-and-siding job landed in the $30k to $40k range. Final pricing depends on the number of openings, any width changes, and material selections.

Do you handle both windows and siding on the same job?

Yes, and we plan them in the right order on purpose. Windows go in first, then siding wraps tightly to each unit for a sealed, finished look.
