Siding

James Hardie

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.

Windows

Simonton

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.

First Contact

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.

Evaluation

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.

PLanning & Approval

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.

Installation

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.

Completion

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.

Siding & Windows in Catumet Cove, Pflugerville | Austin Pro

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.

  • City/Neighborhood: Pflugerville, TX (78660)
  • Vendor & product: James Hardie fiber cement; Daylight Max vinyl replacement windows
  • Material: HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill 8.25" lap siding
  • Timeframe: Approved Dec 19, 2022; installed and completed Jun 23, 2023
  • Standout outcome: A full tear-off and re-clad plus new windows on one job, priced in the $50k–$60k range
  • Why did this Pflugerville home need new siding?

    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 removed the old material, including a double-layer tear-off section
  • We also tore off the old vinyl soffit
  • Limestone soil movement and repeated hail had left the exterior looking tired
  • The homeowner wanted a finish that would last, not another short-term fix
  • What materials did we use, and why?

    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.

  • Primed Select Cedar Mill boards for the main walls
  • Matching James Hardie soffit with H-mold for clean transitions
  • A 4' x 8' Select Cedar Mill porch ceiling, installed and painted
  • Sherwin Williams paint on the fascia and soffit up to 24"
  • We even painted the garage doors to match the new exterior
  • 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.

    What about the windows?

    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.

  • Full-frame vinyl replacements across the home
  • Tighter seals to block heat gain during 100-degree stretches
  • Less noise and fewer drafts than the old units
  • Installing windows during the re-clad let us seal and flash everything at once
  • How did the installation go?

    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.

  • Tear-off first, including the double-layer and old vinyl soffit
  • New fascia and soffit set with H-mold
  • 8.25" HardiePlank installed, then primed and painted
  • Two rounds of yard clean-up and punch-out items to close the job
  • Completed in a single push, wrapping Jun 23, 2023
  • What were the results?

    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.

  • A sealed, low-maintenance exterior built for Central Texas weather
  • Brighter interior rooms from the Daylight Max glass
  • Better efficiency during the worst of the summer heat
  • A finished look backed by James Hardie's product warranty
  • Frequently asked questions

    How long did this Pflugerville siding and window project take?

    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.

    Why is James Hardie fiber cement a good fit for Central Texas?

    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.

    What did a project like this cost?

    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.

    Can you do siding and windows at the same time?

    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.
