Siding & Exterior Painting in Old Town Pflugerville, Pflugerville, TX

Why did this Old Town Pflugerville home need new siding?

Older homes in this pocket of Pflugerville take a beating. Summers push past 100°, spring brings hail, and cedar pollen coats everything for weeks.

The original cladding had lost its fight with all of it. Fiber cement was the clear upgrade for long-term protection.

• Chosen for hail resistance and heat stability
• Won't warp, rot, or feed termites like wood siding
• Handles Pflugerville's swing from dry summers to wet fronts

What did we choose for the material, and why?

We clad most of the home in James Hardie HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill 8.25" lap siding. It carries a milled cedar grain without the maintenance headaches of real wood. Then we set a James Hardie shingle straight-edge accent above the garage to break up the wall and add character. Fiber cement earns its keep here because it stays dimensionally stable when the mercury climbs, and it takes an impact from hail far better than vinyl or old hardboard. A homeowner picking siding on looks alone often skips this part, and pays for it a few Texas summers later.

• HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill 8.25" across the main walls
• Shingle straight-edge accent above the garage
• Primed board delivered through ABC Supply Co.
• Wider 8.25" exposure for cleaner, fewer seams

How did the installation go?

We staged and installed the siding over multiple days in May, then wrapped the job shortly after. Boards were cut, fit, and fastened to keep the courses straight and the accent lines clean.

• Material delivered to the Old Town Pflugerville site by ABC Supply
• Two yard cleanups scheduled with punch items
• Garage accent set apart from the main lap runs
• Full exterior prepped for paint after cladding

What did the exterior painting cover?

Once the new siding was up, we painted the whole exterior for a sealed, unified look. Sherwin Williams products gave us reliable coverage and color that holds against the sun. Sealing everything at once matters more than folks expect, because raw edges and untreated trim are where Texas weather sneaks in first. Fresh paint on the siding, trim, and metal all at once locks the whole envelope down.

• Fascia and soffit painted up to 24 inches
• Doors and garage doors coated
• Gutters and downspouts painted by the linear foot
• Full surface coverage priced per square

What were the results?

The home came out with a crisp, cedar-look exterior that's built to last through Central Texas seasons. The mix of lap siding and the garage shingle accent gives it more depth than the flat original wall.

• Completed June 2, 2023
• Tighter, sealed exterior against heat and hail
• Uniform painted finish across siding, trim, and metal
• Low-maintenance shell compared to the old cladding
