NT Windows

We removed and hauled off the old windows on this Leander home in a single day. Then we installed NT Windows Presidential vinyl replacement units throughout. The vinyl frames resist warping in 100°-plus heat and never need repainting. This upgrade gives the homeowner tighter seals, lower energy bills, and a sharper curb view.

Siding

James Hardie

We wrapped the exterior in James Hardie fiber cement siding, using Select Cedar Mill 8.25" panels. Fiber cement shrugs off hail, moisture, and the pests that plague real wood siding here. The Cedar Mill texture keeps a natural wood look without the upkeep. It's built for Central Texas swings between heat, storms, and cedar pollen season.

First Contact

The homeowner found Austin Pro through an internet search and reached out on Aug 11, 2022. They wanted to replace aging windows and refresh the home's exterior siding. We moved the inquiry to a prospect by Aug 15, 2022.

Evaluation

We assessed the existing windows and siding to confirm scope and sizing. All window widths came in under the 72" standard threshold, so no custom orders were needed. We also confirmed the home was a good fit for fiber cement siding.

PLanning & Approval

We built the estimate covering NT Windows Presidential units and James Hardie Select Cedar Mill 8.25" siding. The homeowner approved the plan on Aug 21, 2022. Product selections and material orders followed through NT Window and ABC Supply.

Installation

The crew handled both trades on March 9, 2023. We removed and hauled off the old windows, set the new vinyl units, and installed the fiber cement siding. Every window-to-siding joint was sealed for a tight, weather-ready finish.

Completion

We completed and invoiced the project on March 9, 2023. A final walkthrough confirmed clean seals and a crisp exterior. The job closed on March 23, 2023, leaving the home ready for Central Texas heat and storm season.

Windows in Leander | Austin Pro

We replaced the windows and re-sided this Leander home in the 78641 area, finishing both trades in a single day on March 9, 2023. The result: tighter seals against summer heat and durable fiber cement siding built for Central Texas weather.

Project at a glance

  • Services: windows and siding
  • Location: Leander, TX (ZIP 78641)
  • Windows: NT Windows Presidential vinyl replacement
  • Siding: James Hardie fiber cement, Select Cedar Mill 8.25"
  • Timeframe: Approved Aug 21, 2022; completed March 9, 2023
  • Standout outcome: A full window and siding refresh done in one install day
  • Why did this Leander home need new windows?

    The old windows were leaking air and struggling against the heat. Summers here push past 100°, and worn frames drive up cooling costs fast. New windows were the right first move.

  • We removed and hauled off all the original windows
  • Installed NT Windows Presidential vinyl replacement units
  • Vinyl frames resist warping in extreme heat
  • No repainting needed, unlike old wood-frame windows
  • What siding did we choose, and why?

    We went with James Hardie fiber cement in the Select Cedar Mill 8.25" profile. It looks like real cedar but skips the rot, warping, and pest problems. That matters a lot in our climate.

  • Fiber cement holds up to hail better than vinyl or wood
  • The 8.25" Cedar Mill panels give a clean, wide-lap look
  • Resists moisture during storm season
  • Won't feed the pests that damage natural wood siding
  • Cedar pollen and humidity swings are tough on exteriors here. Hardie board handles both without cracking or swelling. That's why it's our go-to for older homes in this area.

    How did the installation go?

    Both trades came together on March 9, 2023. Our crew pulled the old windows, set the new units, and fit the siding around them. Careful measurement kept everything square and sealed.

  • Window openings kept within the standard width scope (up to 72")
  • Siding width changes stayed under the 6' custom-quote threshold
  • Disposal handled through ABC Supply Co. haul-off
  • Fresh sealing at every window-to-siding joint
  • Keeping widths under 72" let us avoid custom-order delays. Anything wider needs a separate quote from the installer. This home fit cleanly inside the standard scope.

    What were the results?

    The home came out tighter, quieter, and better looking. The new windows seal against summer heat, and the Hardie siding is ready for whatever the weather brings. The project value landed in the $30k–$40k range.

  • One-day install for both windows and siding
  • Lower expected cooling costs in peak summer
  • A durable exterior built for hail and heat
  • A crisp, updated street view
  • Frequently asked questions

    How long did the project take?

    The hands-on install wrapped in a single day, March 9, 2023. The homeowner first reached out in August 2022, and the job was approved on Aug 21, 2022.

    Why is James Hardie siding a good fit for Leander?

    Fiber cement resists the hail, heat, and moisture common in Central Texas. Unlike real cedar, it won't rot or attract pests. It also holds paint longer through our harsh sun.

    Are vinyl replacement windows good for Texas heat?

    Yes. NT Windows Presidential vinyl units resist warping in 100°-plus temperatures. They seal tightly to cut energy loss and never need repainting.

    What did this project cost?

    The total fell in the $30k–$40k range for both windows and siding. Final pricing depends on window count, siding square footage, and any width changes over 6'.
