Siding in Windermere Phase G, Pflugerville, TX

Why pair siding and window replacement on this Pflugerville home?

The homeowner planned both siding and window work, so we treated the order as part of the job. Three windows needed replacement, and the siding scope included wall sheathing and garage door jamb wraps. Handling the windows first kept the wall work from getting ahead of openings that were about to change.

That sequence matters more than it may seem. If you finish siding around an old window and replace the window later, you may need to disturb that finished area again. Here, the window crew completed its work in a few hours before siding replacement began. The remaining on-site days gave us room to complete the cladding, paint, and cleanup without calling the whole project a one-day install.

What did we assess before choosing the exterior materials?

The homeowner found us through an online search and reached out on November 24, 2025. We inspected the home and began the estimate that day, focusing on the siding, three window openings, and paint areas included in the project. The homeowner approved the plan on December 3.

The wall scope called for 7/16-inch OSB sheathing as well as new fiber cement siding. That is a useful distinction: siding is the visible finish, while sheathing belongs beneath it. We also included the garage door jambs rather than treating the broad wall surfaces as the only areas needing attention. For a Pflugerville home, those edges deserve a place in the plan alongside the larger siding runs.

Why use Select Cedar Mill siding and Executive windows?

We chose 8.25-inch Select Cedar Mill fiber cement siding for the wall work. Its textured profile gave the homeowner a defined siding finish, while the fiber cement material made sense for an exterior exposed to Central Texas sun. Pflugerville summers regularly top 100°F, so material choice should account for heat as well as appearance.

The three replacement units were NT Windows Executive vinyl windows. We kept that selection separate from the siding decision: a window has to suit its opening, while the cladding has to finish the surrounding wall. Cedar pollen and hail are also familiar Austin-area concerns, but this project did not include a claim that either had damaged the home. Our choices followed the work we inspected and the scope the homeowner approved.

How did the four days of installation unfold?

On-site work ran from January 11 through January 14, 2026. The crew replaced all three windows in a few hours before moving into siding replacement. We then worked through the wall and garage-jamb scope, followed by the planned paint and final punch work.

• The siding plan included 8.25-inch primed Select Cedar Mill boards.
• Wall work included 7/16-inch OSB sheathing where called for in the scope.
• The garage detail covered a split double opening with two single-door jambs.
• The crew allowed for two yard cleanups as part of its punch work.

What finished the exterior beyond the siding boards?

The paint scope reached beyond the new siding. We used Sherwin Williams Super Paint for the siding finish and included the fascia, soffit, and porch ceiling. That gave the crew a clear list of surfaces to address during the same visit.

• Fascia and soffit painting covered areas up to 24 inches.
• The porch ceiling was a separate paint item, not part of the siding boards.
• Garage door jamb wrapping addressed the trim around the openings.
• The final punch included remaining detail work before the crew left on January 14.

What should a homeowner take from this project?

This was a siding project with related window and paint work, not three unrelated visits. The November inspection and December approval happened well before the January install. Keeping those dates distinct gives you a more useful picture of how a similar exterior project may unfold.

The result is specific to this Windermere Phase G home: three new vinyl windows, Select Cedar Mill fiber cement siding, and paint across the listed exterior surfaces. The crew also handled sheathing, jamb wraps, and cleanup. Those less visible tasks are part of why we plan the full scope before installation starts, rather than judging the job only by its finished wall color.
