What We Did
Full James Hardie Select Cedar Mill Fiber Cement Siding Replacement · Energy-Efficient NT Windows Executive Vinyl Replacement (11+ Windows)
Siding
This project added James Hardie Select Cedar Mill 8.25" fiber cement siding to a home in Pflugerville, TX. Fiber cement was the right call here because it resists warping and rot in our 100°-plus summers and cedar pollen seasons. Our crew layered Tyvek Thermawrap LE over fresh sheathing, then set the siding, 6" fascia, and a full paint finish. The result is a clean, durable exterior built for the long haul.

For this Pflugerville, TX home we installed NT Windows Executive vinyl replacement windows across 11-plus openings. Vinyl works well here because it handles our temperature swings without swelling or sticking. We foamed and caulked each unit for a tight, weather-ready seal, including one oversized window. Homeowners get quieter rooms and better comfort against the Texas summer heat.

How It Went
The Journey
From the first phone call to the final walkthrough — what actually happened on this project.
First contact
June 28, 2022The 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
July 8, 2022We 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
March 27, 2023The 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
March 27, 2023The 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.

The Full Story
Inside This Project
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
