What We Did

Complete James Hardie HardiePlank Fiber Cement Siding Installation · Fresh Fascia and Soffit Painting for a Finished Exterior

Siding

This siding project in Round Rock, TX used James Hardie HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill 8.25-inch fiber cement siding. Fiber cement stands up to Central Texas heat, hail, and moisture far better than older wood or hardboard siding. We installed 1/2-inch OSB sheathing, then painted the home Sherwin Williams Grey Slate for a clean, lasting finish. Work wrapped in four on-site days, including fascia and soffit paint and a final punch-out.

How It Went

The Journey

From the first phone call to the final walkthrough — what actually happened on this project.

First contact

October 10, 2022

The homeowner found Austin Pro through an internet search and reached out on October 10, 2022. Early talks focused on replacing aging exterior siding with a more durable material. By October 12, we were scoping the project.

Evaluation

We inspected the home's existing siding and underlying sheathing in Round Rock. The review showed worn siding that needed a full replacement, plus new 1/2" OSB in areas that had aged. We confirmed fiber cement as the best fit for the local heat and hail.

Planning & approval

October 30, 2022

We built out a scope covering 8.25" HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill, new sheathing, and paint on fascia and soffit. The homeowner approved the plan on October 30, 2022. Material delivery was arranged through ABC Supply Co.

Installation

April 24, 2023

The crew completed the full install on April 24, 2023. They set new 1/2" OSB sheathing, hung the 8.25" Select Cedar Mill planks, and painted the fascia, soffit, and siding. Two rounds of yard cleanup kept the site tidy throughout.

Completion

April 24, 2023

We finished punch-out items and a final walkthrough, completing the work on April 24, 2023. The job closed out on May 12, 2023, and the home came away with a fresh, low-maintenance fiber cement exterior.

The Full Story

Inside This Project

Why did this Round Rock home need new siding?

Older homes around Round Rock take a beating from the sun, wind, and spring hail. The original siding here had worn down and no longer protected the home the way it should. Fiber cement was the clear fix for long-term peace of mind.

The home sits in the 78681 ZIP, where summer heat regularly tops 100°
Hail and driving rain wear out softer siding materials over time
Cedar pollen and moisture can rot wood siding on aging homes
The homeowner wanted a durable, low-upkeep exterior

What materials did we use, and why?

We went with James Hardie HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill in the wide 8.25" profile. Fiber cement holds up to heat, hail, and pests better than wood or vinyl. It also keeps that classic wood-grain look without the constant maintenance.

8.25" Primed Select Cedar Mill planks for a bold, clean line
New 1/2" OSB sheathing to give the siding a solid, flat base
Paint on fascia and soffit up to 24" for a finished edge
Materials delivered through ABC Supply Co. for a smooth job flow

The wide profile suits many aging 1980s–2000s homes in this area. It updates the look while adding real weather protection.

How did the installation go?

Our crew handled the full scope. We stripped the old siding, checked and replaced sheathing, then hung the new HardiePlank. Paint and cleanup followed right behind.

Hung the 8.25" Select Cedar Mill planks across the exterior
Painted fascia, soffit, and the new siding for a uniform finish
Two rounds of yard cleanup and punch items to leave the site spotless

We use Sherwin Williams paint on these jobs. It stands up well to the Texas sun and keeps color true for years.

What were the results?

The home now has a fresh, modern exterior that shrugs off Central Texas weather. Fiber cement won't crack in the heat or dent easily from hail. The homeowner gets a look that lasts with almost no upkeep.

A clean, wood-look exterior with the strength of fiber cement
Painted fascia and soffit that tie the whole look together
Better protection against heat, hail, and moisture
Punch-out completed with full yard cleanup before we left

If you're weighing new siding, this profile pairs well with other exterior work like gutters or exterior painting down the road.

Straight Answers

Questions About This Project

How long does a James Hardie siding job take?

This Round Rock project was completed on April 24, 2023. Timing depends on the home's size and how much sheathing needs replacing.

Why is fiber cement good for Central Texas weather?

Fiber cement resists cracking in 100°+ heat and holds up to hail far better than vinyl. It also won't rot from moisture or attract pests like wood siding can.

What did this siding project cost?

This job fell in the $5,000–$10,000 range. Final pricing depends on square footage, sheathing repairs, and paint scope.
