Siding & Doors in Steeds Crossing, Pflugerville, TX

Why replace the siding instead of painting over it?

The siding work at this Steeds Crossing home called for a double-layer tear-off. That is a different job from coating the surface you can already see. If we had treated it as paint alone, the layers scheduled for removal would have remained behind the new finish. We planned the removal and replacement as separate steps, then included paint for the new siding. It is a useful distinction for homeowners comparing a siding bid with a painting bid: the finished color may look similar, but the work beneath it is not.

The homeowner reached out after an online search on April 20, 2026. We inspected the home and began the estimate the next day, giving the homeowner a chance to review the siding and door work before approving it on April 28.

Which siding and door products did we use?

We selected 8.25-inch Select Cedar Mill fiber cement siding for the replacement areas. The product provides a defined board size and cedar-mill texture without making this a wood-siding installation. Central Texas summers can top 100°F, so the material choice matters as much as the paint color. The homeowner also needed an exterior door selected as part of the same project, not a separate job left for later.

The door was a Heritage Series Energy Star DLA-UV exterior door. We did not need to guess how new siding would meet an old door: our installation plan put the new door in place first. That sequence gave the siding crew the installed opening to work around. It also kept the work in one coordinated on-site window rather than asking the homeowner to schedule the two trades independently.

How did the four-day installation unfold?

Our crew began on June 20 and finished on June 23. The Provia door installation came first; siding removal and replacement followed. That order was part of the job plan, not a claim that both services were completed in one day.

• The siding scope included both tear-off and double-layer tear-off work.
• Delivery was included for the replacement siding materials.
• The plan included permits and a permit fee.
• The crew used the four-day window for the door, siding, paint, and final punch work.

How was the new siding finished?

The replacement boards were primed Select Cedar Mill siding, so painting was part of the siding job rather than a separate cosmetic suggestion. We used Sherwin Williams Super Paint for the siding finish. The paint step gave the installed fiber cement a completed exterior appearance before the crew wrapped up.

• The specified board profile was 8.25 inches, which affects the look of each siding course.
• The finish scope called for painting the siding, not just delivering primed boards.
• This home’s plan paired siding replacement with exterior painting.
• Paint materials were included in the project scope.

What should homeowners notice about the door-first sequence?

The order of work matters where two exterior trades meet. On this project, we did not replace the siding and then return to install the Heritage Series door. We installed the door first, then completed the surrounding siding work. A homeowner reviewing a similar project should ask which crew goes first; otherwise, the plan can sound clear until installation begins.

• The door was the project’s secondary service, but it led the on-site sequence.
• Siding was the primary service and included removal, replacement, and finishing.
• Both services were completed during the June 20–23 visit.
• The homeowner approved the combined project on April 28, well before installation began.

What marked the end of the work?

The crew finished on June 23 after the siding and door work. The scope also included punch items and two yard cleanups. Those details matter on a siding replacement: removed material, delivery packaging, and finish work all need attention before the crew leaves.

• The completed exterior combines James Hardie siding with a Provia entry product.
• Sherwin Williams Super Paint was the specified siding coating.
• The on-site work lasted four days, from the first installation day through completion.
• The project covered one Pflugerville home in Steeds Crossing, not a neighborhood-wide installation.
