Siding

James Hardie

This Pflugerville siding project used James Hardie Select Cedar Mill fiber cement in an 8.25-inch profile. We layered Tyvek ThermaWrap LE and a breathable vapor barrier before installing the boards. Fiber cement resists cedar pollen, hail dings, and 100-degree heat far better than old wood or masonite. We also fit new 6-inch JH fascia and painted soffit and gutters for a clean finish.

NT Windows

For windows in Pflugerville, we installed NT Windows Executive vinyl replacement units across the home. The scope covered 11-plus windows, including one oversized unit over 120 united inches. Vinyl frames hold up well against Central Texas heat and cut summer cooling costs. Each opening was foamed and caulked for a weather-tight, energy-efficient seal.

First Contact

The homeowner found Austin Pro through an internet search and reached out on June 28, 2022. They were looking for a full exterior update, with new siding as the priority and window replacement close behind. We moved the inquiry to a prospect the next day, June 29, 2022.

Evaluation

Our team measured the home and assessed the old exterior and every window opening. We flagged spots that needed new 1/2-inch OSB sheathing and confirmed one oversized window over 120 united inches. The window count came to 11-plus units once panels were tallied by our standard rule.

PLanning & Approval

We built the estimate around James Hardie Select Cedar Mill siding and NT Executive vinyl windows. The homeowner reviewed material and paint selections through Sherwin Williams and approved the job on July 8, 2022. Scope included housewrap, vapor barrier, fascia, and full paint of soffit and gutters.

Installation

The crew handled siding and windows together for a smooth, single-day install on March 27, 2023. Materials arrived through ABC Supply and NT Window, and the team set windows with foam and white caulk before installing the 8.25-inch Cedar Mill boards. Fascia, soffit, and gutter paint finished the exterior.

Completion

The job wrapped with two rounds of yard cleanup and punch-out items on March 27, 2023. We walked the finished exterior to confirm tight window seals and clean paint lines on the fascia and gutters. The file closed on April 13, 2023.

Project at a glance

  • Services: Siding (primary) and windows (secondary)
  • Location: Pflugerville, TX 78660
  • Vendor & product: James Hardie Fiber Cement Siding and NT Windows Executive vinyl replacements
  • Material: James Hardie Select Cedar Mill 8.25" plus NT Executive windows
  • Timeframe: Approved July 8, 2022; completed March 27, 2023
  • Standout outcome: A full exterior wrap and 11-plus new windows finished in one install day
  • Why did this Pflugerville home need new siding?

    Older exteriors around Pflugerville take a beating. Summer heat over 100 degrees, spring hail, and heavy cedar pollen wear down wood and older board products fast. This home was ready for something tougher.

  • Old siding was removed down to the studs and sheathing
  • We added 1/2" OSB sheathing where needed for a solid base
  • Tyvek ThermaWrap LE (R2) housewrap went on next
  • A breathable vapor barrier helps the wall dry out instead of trapping moisture
  • What siding materials did we use, and why?

    We chose James Hardie Select Cedar Mill in the 8.25-inch profile. Fiber cement gives you the look of real cedar without the rot, warping, or bug problems. It also stands up to hail and holds paint far longer in the Texas sun.

  • 8.25" Primed Select Cedar Mill boards for a bold, clean shadow line
  • JH 6" fascia with a 1x2 trim detail
  • Painted fascia and soffit up to 24 inches
  • Painted gutters and downspouts by the linear foot for a matched finish
  • The limestone-heavy soil around here shifts with the seasons. Fiber cement handles that movement better than brittle older materials.

    What windows went in, and how many?

    The homeowner replaced the full set with NT Windows Executive vinyl replacement units. We installed 11-plus windows total, counting each panel by our standard rule. Double-mulled units count as two, and one opening was oversized.

  • NT Executive vinyl frames resist heat, warping, and fading
  • One oversized window over 120 united inches
  • Each unit sealed with white caulk and window foam
  • Vinyl frames help cut cooling bills during those long 100-degree stretches
  • Vinyl is a smart match for Central Texas. It won't rot, and it needs almost no upkeep year to year.

    How did the installation go?

    The crew ran siding and windows as one coordinated job. Materials came in through ABC Supply and NT Window, with paint from Sherwin Williams. Both trades were finished on March 27, 2023.

  • Old siding removed, then sheathing and housewrap installed
  • New windows set, foamed, and caulked into tight openings
  • 8.25" Cedar Mill boards installed over the vapor barrier
  • Fascia, soffit, and gutter paint applied for a full, finished look
  • Two rounds of yard cleanup and punch items closed out the site
  • What were the results?

    The home now has a durable, cedar-look exterior and a full set of energy-efficient windows. The whole envelope is sealed against heat, pollen, and storms. It reads as a full refresh, not a patch job.

  • Sealed wall system: sheathing, housewrap, vapor barrier, fiber cement
  • 11-plus new NT Executive windows with tight seals
  • Fresh paint on fascia, soffit, gutters, and downspouts
  • Project value in the $25k–$30k range
  • Frequently asked questions

    How long did this Pflugerville siding and window project take?

    The homeowner approved the job on July 8, 2022, and both siding and windows were installed on March 27, 2023. The file closed on April 13, 2023 after final punch items.

    Why is James Hardie fiber cement good for Central Texas?

    Fiber cement resists the hail, 100-degree heat, and cedar pollen that wear down wood siding. The Select Cedar Mill boards also hold paint longer and won't rot in our humid spring months.

    Are NT Windows vinyl replacements energy efficient?

    Yes. The NT Executive vinyl frames help block heat gain during Pflugerville's long, hot summers. Sealed with foam and white caulk, they cut drafts and lower cooling costs.

    What did this project cost?

    This full siding and window job fell in the $25k–$30k range. That covered removal, sheathing, housewrap, 8.25" fiber cement, 11-plus windows, fascia, and paint.
