James Hardie Custom Colonial Roughsawn Fiber Cement Siding Installation | Full Exterior Repaint in Sherwin Williams SuperPaint









This Round Rock siding project used James Hardie Custom Colonial Roughsawn fiber cement for a durable, textured look. We paired it with matching James Hardie trim in 4-inch, 6-inch, and 8-inch widths. Fiber cement was chosen because it shrugs off hail and 100-plus-degree summers where wood and vinyl fail. The result is a low-maintenance exterior built for decades in Central Texas.

The exterior painting scope covered the new siding, all James Hardie trim, and the fascia and soffit. We used Sherwin Williams SuperPaint for its fade resistance under harsh Texas sun. Both garage doors and entry doors got fresh coats to match. The finished paint locks out moisture and keeps cedar pollen from staining the surface.

The homeowner found Austin Pro through an internet search and reached out on October 11, 2023. The first conversation focused on replacing aging siding and refreshing the home's whole exterior.
We moved the lead to a prospect on October 17, 2023 after assessing the existing siding. Our inspection flagged swelling boards and peeling paint, both signs that moisture had gotten behind the surface.
The homeowner reviewed the scope and approved the project on November 7, 2023. Selections included James Hardie Custom Colonial Roughsawn, matching Hardie trim in three widths, cedar posts, and Sherwin Williams SuperPaint.
Material came in through ABC Supply Co., and the crew handled siding removal, Hardie install, and cedar post work before the painters stepped in. Siding and painting were carried out together and finished on January 30, 2024, with SuperPaint applied to siding, trim, fascia, soffit, doors, and garage doors.
After two yard cleanups and a full punch-out pass, we walked the finished exterior on January 30, 2024. The project closed on February 8, 2024 with a durable, coordinated finish ready for Central Texas weather.
We tore off the tired original siding on this Round Rock home and rebuilt the exterior with James Hardie Custom Colonial Roughsawn fiber cement, then painted the whole thing in Sherwin Williams SuperPaint. The house went from weathered and patchy to crisp and weather-ready in a single push.
The old siding had taken years of abuse. Central Texas summers push past 100 degrees, spring brings hail, and cedar pollen coats everything for weeks. Those cycles wear down softer materials fast.
Once the crew started removing boards, the reasons for the failure were clear. Moisture had worked its way behind the siding at several joints, and the surface was no longer sealing the way it should. This is the part homeowners rarely see coming. Siding looks fine from the curb long after it has stopped doing its job, and by the time paint bubbles or boards feel soft, water has often been getting in for a while. Catching it here, before the sheathing took real damage, saved this home a much bigger repair down the road.
We went with James Hardie Custom Colonial Roughsawn fiber cement for one main reason: it holds up to everything Round Rock throws at it. Fiber cement does not swell in humidity, does not feed rot, and takes hail impacts that would dent or crack lesser products. The Roughsawn texture also gives the walls a deep wood-grain look without the upkeep real wood demands. We finished the design with cedar posts and 4x4 cedar for warmth at the entry.
With the siding up, our painters moved in to seal and finish every surface. Sherwin Williams SuperPaint was the pick here because it fights fading under relentless Texas sun and shields the boards from moisture and pollen staining.
The home now has a durable, low-maintenance shell built for Central Texas conditions. The Roughsawn texture and fresh paint give it real curb appeal, and the homeowner will not be repainting or repairing boards for many years.
The siding install and painting were wrapped in a focused push completed on January 30, 2024. The project was approved back on November 7, 2023, then scheduled for the right winter window.
It resists the moisture, hail, and heat swings that ruin wood and vinyl siding here. It also will not warp on limestone-soil lots where slab movement can stress a home's exterior.
This job fell in the $5,000 to $10,000 range. Final pricing depends on wall square footage, trim linear feet, and how much surface needs paint.
Sherwin Williams SuperPaint is built to resist UV fade and hold color through hot Central Texas summers. It also helps keep cedar pollen from staining the freshly finished siding.
