Complete James Hardie HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill 8.25" Siding Installation | Energy-Efficient Daylight Max Vinyl Replacement Windows









This Pflugerville siding project used James Hardie fiber cement in the 8.25" HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill profile. We started with a full tear-off, including a double-layer section, then added Hardie soffit with H-mold and a new porch ceiling. Fiber cement handles Austin's 100-degree summers, hail, and shifting limestone soil far better than old wood or vinyl. Fresh Sherwin Williams paint on the fascia, soffit, and garage doors finished the look.

We paired the siding work with Daylight Max vinyl replacement windows across this Pflugerville home. The line features a slim frame and a wider glass area for more natural light. Tight seals help block the summer heat that pushes past 100 degrees here. The result is a quieter, more efficient home with a cleaner sightline from every room.

The homeowner found Austin Pro through our website and reached out on Oct 18, 2022. The early conversation covered aging siding and drafty windows on this Pflugerville home, and it moved to a prospect on Oct 20, 2022.
We inspected the existing exterior and found worn cladding, an old vinyl soffit, and a section with double-layered siding. We also reviewed the windows for heat gain and drafts common in homes built during Pflugerville's late-1990s and early-2000s growth.
We built a full scope covering tear-off, James Hardie fiber cement in the 8.25" Select Cedar Mill profile, new soffit, porch ceiling, paint, and Daylight Max windows. The homeowner reviewed selections and approved the project on Dec 19, 2022.
The crew tore off the old siding, including the double-layer and vinyl soffit sections, then re-clad the home with 8.25" HardiePlank. They set the Hardie soffit with H-mold, installed the porch ceiling and Daylight Max windows, and painted the fascia, soffit, and garage doors with Sherwin Williams products.
We finished the install on Jun 23, 2023, with two rounds of yard clean-up and a full punch-out. The completed exterior is sealed, freshly painted, and backed by James Hardie's product warranty. The job closed on Jul 5, 2023.
We re-sided a Pflugerville home in the Catumet Cove area with James Hardie fiber cement and replaced its tired windows with Daylight Max vinyl units. The whole exterior went from dated and worn to crisp, sealed, and built for Central Texas weather.
The old cladding had run its course. Many homes in this part of Pflugerville date to the late 1990s and early 2000s, and their original siding starts to fade, warp, and let moisture in.
We went with James Hardie fiber cement in the 8.25" Select Cedar Mill profile. Fiber cement holds up to 100-degree summers, cedar pollen season, and hail far better than wood or vinyl.
Materials came through ABC Supply Co., and the fiber cement stands up to the freeze-thaw swings and dry heat that wreck lesser products here.
We paired the siding with Daylight Max vinyl replacement windows. The line uses a slim frame and a larger glass area, so rooms feel brighter without giving up efficiency.
The crew handled the tear-off, re-clad, soffit, porch ceiling, windows, and paint in a tight, coordinated sequence. Doing siding and windows together avoids gaps and gives you one clean, sealed envelope.
The home reads as a modern, well-kept house that fits its Pflugerville street. The Cedar Mill texture adds warmth, and the fresh paint ties the fascia, soffit, and garage doors together.
Work was approved on Dec 19, 2022, and the install wrapped on Jun 23, 2023. The active tear-off and re-clad ran as a focused, single-job push before the file closed on Jul 5, 2023.
Fiber cement resists the 100-degree heat, hail, and cedar pollen that wear down wood and vinyl. The 8.25" Select Cedar Mill boards also handle the moisture swings tied to our limestone soil.
This full siding tear-off, re-clad, and window replacement fell in the $50k–$60k range. Scope drives price, so a tear-off, soffit, porch ceiling, paint, and new windows sit higher than siding alone.
Yes, and it is the smart way to do it. Installing windows during the re-clad let us flash and seal the whole envelope at once, which cuts leak risk and gives a cleaner finish.
