Complete James Hardie HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill Siding Installation | Full Exterior Repaint with Sherwin Williams SuperPaint









This Round Rock siding project used James Hardie HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill in the 8.25" profile. We installed new 7/16" OSB wall sheathing before the fiber cement went up. Fiber cement was chosen because it resists Central Texas heat, hail, and moisture far better than wood. The finished exterior gives this Cloud Court home a clean cedar-grain look with real durability.

The exterior painting phase followed the siding with Sherwin Williams SuperPaint applied over the primed fiber cement. We painted the siding, fascia and soffit up to 24 inches, and the garage doors. SuperPaint was picked for strong UV and fade resistance under 100-degree Round Rock summers. The result is an even, sealed finish that protects the new boards.

The homeowner found Austin Pro through an internet search and reached out on April 2, 2024. We moved to the prospect stage the very next day, April 3, to talk through the siding and paint goals for this Cloud Court home.
We inspected the existing exterior and looked closely at the wall structure. The old siding showed clear weather wear from Central Texas heat and hail. That review confirmed the home would need new wall sheathing before any fiber cement could go up.
We built the estimate around James Hardie HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill and Sherwin Williams SuperPaint. The homeowner reviewed selections and approved the project on July 12, 2024. Materials were then scheduled for delivery through ABC Supply.
The crew installed 7/16" OSB wall sheathing first, then hung the 8.25" Select Cedar Mill boards over multiple days starting in late July. Painting followed once the siding was set. We coated the siding, fascia, soffit up to 24 inches, and the garage doors.
We wrapped all work on August 9, 2024, including two rounds of yard cleanup and punch-out items. After a final walkthrough, the project closed on August 28, 2024. The home is now protected by durable fiber cement and backed by James Hardie's product warranty.
We tore off the old exterior on this Cloud Court home in Round Rock and rebuilt it with James Hardie fiber cement siding, then finished the whole house in Sherwin Williams paint. The home now has a fresh cedar-grain look that stands up to Central Texas weather.
The old exterior on this Cloud Court home had taken years of hard Central Texas seasons. Heat, hail, and moisture wear down wood-based siding fast around here. The homeowner wanted a lasting fix, not another repaint over tired boards.
Once we pulled the old siding, we got a clear look at the wall structure underneath. That is the moment that decides how a job really goes. We found the surface needed a fresh, flat base before any new boards went up, so we installed 7/16" OSB wall sheathing across the walls. Skipping that step is the mistake many homeowners never see coming. New fiber cement over an uneven or worn substrate telegraphs every dip and never sits right, so the sheathing was worth the extra time.
We chose James Hardie HardiePlank in the Select Cedar Mill 8.25" profile. Fiber cement is the right call for Round Rock because it does not warp, rot, or feed insects the way wood can. The Cedar Mill texture keeps that warm wood-grain look without the upkeep.
Fiber cement handles our limestone-soil region and swingy weather better than almost anything. It holds paint longer too, which matters for the next phase.
Once the siding cured, we moved to paint. We used Sherwin Williams SuperPaint over the primed boards for strong color and UV protection. SuperPaint was picked because Round Rock summers push past 100 degrees and bake cheaper coatings until they fade.
The home went from worn and dated to crisp and protected. The fiber cement gives it real staying power, and the paint ties every surface together. This homeowner now has an exterior built for the long haul.
We installed the siding over multiple days starting in late July, then painting followed. The full job wrapped on August 9, 2024, with final closeout on August 28.
It resists heat, hail, and pests far better than wood, and it will not warp under 100-degree summers. It also holds paint longer, so your finish lasts through cedar pollen season and beyond.
This retail project fell in the $15,000 to $20,000 range. That covered new sheathing, HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill, full exterior paint, fascia, soffit, and garage doors.
Yes. On this job we painted the garage doors, plus fascia and soffit up to 24 inches, so the whole exterior matched. Bundling paint with siding gives you one clean, finished look.
