James Hardie HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill Siding Replacement | Four-Window Insurance Scope Replacement in One Day
This Round Rock siding project used James Hardie HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill lap siding in an 8.25-inch width. The fiber cement material was chosen to stand up to 100-degree summers, hail, and shifting limestone soil. We ran siding installation over several days after the windows went in. Sherwin Williams paint and a detailed punch-out wrapped up the exterior on December 27.

The windows portion covered four replacement units under the insurance scope for this Round Rock home. We placed the order in late June and received the windows in late October due to supply lead times. Once on site, the crew installed all four openings in one day. The new windows sealed the exterior ahead of the siding work.
This homeowner came back to us as a previous customer after storm damage hit the Chandler Creek home. The lead came in on April 4, 2022, and we moved it to a prospect the very next day, April 5.
We inspected the exterior and confirmed the damage matched what the insurance scope called for. The assessment covered siding, four windows, roof repair, and gutters, all documented for the claim.
The project was approved on April 11, 2022, once the insurance scope was set. We finalized the James Hardie HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill selection and ordered the four windows in late June to get ahead of long lead times.
The windows finally arrived in late October, and the crew installed all four in one day. Siding work followed over several days, then Sherwin Williams paint and a full punch-out wrapped up on December 27.
The project was completed December 28, 2022, with the exterior sealed, sided, and painted.
We replaced hail-damaged siding and four windows on this Chandler Creek home in Round Rock, TX, then repainted the exterior and finished punch-out by late December. The result is a tighter, storm-ready shell built to handle Central Texas weather.
Storm damage triggered this job. Hail is a fact of life in Round Rock, and the older exterior on this home had taken a beating. Filing under insurance made the most sense for the homeowner.
We went with James Hardie HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill in an 8.25-inch profile, and the choice was deliberate. Fiber cement doesn't warp, crack, or feed pests the way older board products can when summer temps push past 100 degrees. It also shrugs off hail impacts that would dent or split lesser materials. Central Texas limestone soil shifts a lot between wet and dry spells, and Hardie's dimensional stability handles that movement better than most sidings on the market. The Cedar Mill texture gives you a real wood-grain look without the maintenance headaches that come with actual cedar in this climate.
The four windows were the long pole in this project. We ordered them in late June, but supply lead times pushed delivery all the way to late October. That kind of wait was common that year.
We sequenced this job carefully. Windows went in first so the new openings were sealed and square before any siding touched the walls. That order matters more than homeowners realize.
Siding installation followed over several days, wrapping tight to the fresh window frames for a weatherproof fit. If you install siding before the windows, you risk cutting into brand-new boards and breaking the seal you just paid for. Our crew avoided that entirely by holding the right sequence. Paint and final punch-out closed things out on December 27.
The home came out with a durable, low-maintenance exterior built for the way Round Rock weather behaves. Four tight new windows, fresh Hardie siding, and a clean coat of paint pulled it all together.
Fiber cement handles the local extremes better than wood or vinyl. It holds its shape through 100-degree summers, resists hail damage, and won't rot when cedar pollen and moisture collect against it.
The claim was approved in April 2022, but the windows didn't arrive until late October. Once materials were on hand, the crew moved fast and completed everything by December 28, 2022.
This job fell in the $30k–$40k range and was handled as an insurance claim. Costs vary based on home size, scope, and product selections.
Yes. This entire project ran through an insurance scope covering siding, windows, roof repair, and gutters, and we worked directly within that estimate. Reach out to Austin Pro to start yours.
