Siding

James Hardie

This Round Rock siding project used James Hardie Select Cedar Mill boards in the 8.25-inch lap profile. Fiber cement handles 100-plus-degree summers and hail far better than old wood siding. We paired the boards with matching Hardie trim, fascia, and soffit for a full system. The finished home looks sharp and stands up to Hillside weather.

Exterior Painting

Sherwin Williams

Exterior painting in Round Rock, TX rounded out this job with a full coat of Sherwin Williams Renwick Olive. We painted the new siding, fascia, soffit up to 24 inches, and both garage doors. The wrapped porch ceiling and columns got finished to match. One consistent color ties the whole exterior together.

First Contact

The homeowner first reached out to Austin Pro on May 25, 2021, through a family and friend referral connected to our office staff. That first conversation covered the goal of replacing aging siding with a longer-lasting exterior and refreshing the home's color.

Evaluation

We assessed the Hillside home's existing siding, fascia, soffit, and porch details to scope a full Hardie system. The inspection confirmed the house was a strong candidate for fiber cement, given years of sun and pollen exposure common in Round Rock.

PLanning & Approval

Selections were finalized around the October 20, 2022 approval date. The homeowner chose James Hardie Select Cedar Mill in the 8.25-inch profile and Sherwin Williams Renwick Olive for the full-body color, along with trim, fascia, and soffit details.

Installation

Crews completed the work on March 2, 2023. That single push covered the 8.25-inch Cedar Mill boards, 12-inch-per-LF Hardie trim, 6-inch fascia, soffit with H-mold, brick pocket, wrapped porch columns, and a 4x8 porch ceiling. Materials arrived on site through an ABC Supply delivery.

Completion

We finished with a full paint-out in Renwick Olive, including both garage doors, then ran two yard cleanups and a punch list. The project was invoiced on March 2, 2023 and closed on March 23, 2023, leaving a unified, weather-ready exterior.

Siding in Round Rock | Austin Pro

We re-sided and repainted a home in the Hillside neighborhood of Round Rock, TX, swapping aging exterior boards for James Hardie fiber cement and a full coat of Sherwin Williams Renwick Olive. The house now has a wood-grain look that holds up to Texas heat and hail without the upkeep of real cedar.

Project at a glance

  • Location: Hillside neighborhood, Round Rock, TX 78681
  • Vendor and product: James Hardie Select Cedar Mill lap siding
  • Material: Primed fiber cement, 8.25-inch profile, with matching Hardie trim and fascia
  • Timeframe: Approved October 2022, installed and wrapped in a single push on March 2, 2023
  • Standout outcome: A full-house color change to Renwick Olive, from siding to garage doors

Why did this Hillside home need new siding?

Older homes around Round Rock were often built with wood or panel siding that fades and swells over time. This one showed the usual wear you get after years of sun and storm cycles.

  • Cedar pollen and dirt had settled into the old grain
  • Sun exposure had dulled the original finish
  • The homeowner wanted a look that lasts, not one that needs paint every few years

What did we choose, and why fiber cement?

We went with James Hardie Select Cedar Mill in the 8.25-inch width. Here is the honest reason fiber cement wins in Central Texas: real cedar looks great on day one, then it cups, splits, and drinks paint after a couple of 100-degree summers. Hardie board gives you that same cedar-mill grain without the movement. It does not feed insects, it resists hail far better than wood, and it holds a paint finish for years instead of months. On this house, that meant the homeowner could pick a bold color once and not worry about repainting on a short cycle.

  • 8.25-inch Select Cedar Mill primed lap boards
  • James Hardie trim at 12 inches per linear foot for clean edges
  • 6-inch Hardie fascia with a 1x2 backer
  • Hardie soffit installed with H-mold for a tight, finished underside

How did the install come together?

Our crew ran the full Hardie system in one coordinated day on March 2, 2023. That kind of speed only works when materials land on site ahead of time, which they did through our ABC Supply delivery.

  • Brick pocket detail built with 1x4 material and labor
  • Porch columns wrapped in 3/4-inch trim pieces
  • A 4x8 Select Cedar Mill porch ceiling installed and finished
  • Two yard cleanups plus a full punch-out to close out the day

What did the exterior painting add?

Fresh siding deserves a color that makes the whole house feel new, and Sherwin Williams Renwick Olive did exactly that. It is a warm, grounded green that suits the wooded Hillside setting. We didn't just coat the walls. The fascia, the soffit up to 24 inches, the wrapped columns, and the porch ceiling all got the same finish so nothing looked like an afterthought. We even painted both garage doors to match, which is the detail most homeowners skip and later regret. When the garage doors clash with new siding, they pull your eye straight to them. Matching them makes the front elevation read as one clean, deliberate design.

  • Full-body color in Renwick Olive by Sherwin Williams
  • Fascia and soffit painted to match the field color
  • Both garage doors coated for a seamless front
  • Primed Cedar Mill boards finish-painted after install

What were the results?

The home went from tired and faded to a tight, modern exterior in one visit. The siding, trim, and paint now work as a single system built for Round Rock weather.

  • One unified color across siding, trim, columns, and doors
  • A low-maintenance exterior that resists heat, hail, and pollen buildup
  • A finished porch ceiling and wrapped columns that lift the whole entry

Frequently asked questions

How long did the siding and painting take?

The hands-on work happened on March 2, 2023, from install through paint and punch-out. The project was approved back in October 2022, so material staging and scheduling were handled well before crews arrived.

Why is James Hardie a good fit for Round Rock homes?

Fiber cement handles limestone-soil settling, 100-plus-degree heat, and hail better than wood or vinyl. It won't rot, warp, or invite insects, and it keeps a painted color far longer in our sun.

What did this project cost?

This siding and exterior painting job fell in the $25k to $30k range. Final pricing depends on square footage, trim detail, and how much fascia and soffit work a home needs.

Do you paint garage doors and porch ceilings too?

Yes. On this job we finished both garage doors, the wrapped porch columns, and a 4x8 porch ceiling in the same Renwick Olive so every surface matched. Full-exterior consistency is a big part of what a color change should deliver.
