What We Did
Full NT Windows NT Presidential Vinyl Window Replacement · Coordinated Siding Refresh with Sherwin Williams Finish
Windows
This project brought fresh vinyl replacement windows to a home in Black Kettle, Leander, TX. We installed the NT Windows Presidential series, a vinyl frame chosen to resist warping through 100°-plus summers. The multi-day install let the crew set each opening square and sealed tight. The homeowner gained better comfort, less outside noise, and lower energy loss.

This Leander, TX home got new siding in James Hardie's HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill 8.25" fiber cement. We chose fiber cement because it stands up to hail, cedar pollen, and the dry-then-wet swings Central Texas throws at older exteriors. The crew handled width changes up to 72" and installed over multiple days for a clean, level finish. The finished walls give the home lasting protection and a crisp cedar-mill texture.

How It Went
The Journey
From the first phone call to the final walkthrough — what actually happened on this project.
First contact
August 11, 2022The 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
August 15, 2022By August 15, 2022, we were scoping the project. We assessed the existing windows and siding condition, measured each opening, and confirmed which widths would need adjustment during the siding phase.
Planning & approval
August 21, 2022The 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
March 9, 2023We completed the project on March 9, 2023, and closed it out on March 23, 2023. The homeowner ended up with a sealed, refreshed exterior ready for summer heat, hail season, and cedar pollen.

The Full Story
Inside This Project
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
Straight Answers
Questions About This Project
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.
