Complete James Hardie HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill Fiber Cement Re-Siding | Full Exterior Sherwin Williams SuperPaint Finish on Siding, Trim & Doors
This Round Rock siding project replaced aging exterior boards with James Hardie HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill lap siding at 8.25 inches. Fiber cement was the right call for Fern Bluff, where heat, hail, and humidity punish wood. We also swapped failing 7/16" OSB wall sheathing where we found soft spots. The finished home gets a durable cedar-grain look built for Central Texas weather.

The exterior painting phase used Sherwin Williams SuperPaint over the new James Hardie siding, fascia, and soffit. We also painted the garage doors and a two-piece shutter set for a matched look. The coating resists UV fade and traps out moisture during humid summers. Full, even coverage gave this Round Rock home a clean, finished exterior.
This homeowner was a previous Austin Pro customer and reached back out in early December 2023. The lead came in on December 6, 2023, and moved to a prospect just two days later on December 8. Repeat clients tend to know what they want, so the early conversation focused on siding options and a full exterior refresh.
We inspected the existing exterior in the Fern Bluff neighborhood to gauge the condition of the old boards and what sat behind them. The assessment flagged aging siding and likely soft spots in the wall sheathing, both common on Round Rock homes of this era. That inspection shaped the scope, including sheathing replacement and a full paint plan.
After reviewing product options, the homeowner chose James Hardie HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill in the 8.25" profile with a full Sherwin Williams paint finish. The project was approved on February 13, 2024. We locked in material orders through ABC Supply and Gtown Lumber and Supply and staged the siding and paint phases.
The crew tore off the old siding and replaced compromised 7/16" OSB wall sheathing before installing the new fiber cement. We wrapped the garage door jambs, including a split double setup, then moved into the multi-day paint phase using Sherwin Williams SuperPaint. Siding, fascia, soffit, garage doors, and a shutter set all got coated.
The project completed on July 3, 2024, followed by two rounds of yard cleanup and punch-out to finish the details. We walked the exterior to confirm even coverage and clean lines throughout.
We re-sided and repainted a 1990s-era home in the Fern Bluff neighborhood of Round Rock, swapping tired exterior boards for James Hardie fiber cement and a full Sherwin Williams finish. The home now has a cedar-grain look that shrugs off Central Texas heat and hail.
The old boards had taken years of abuse from Round Rock summers and spring storms. Heat cycling and moisture had left them tired and no longer sealing the home the way they should.
Once we pulled the old siding, the real story showed up underneath. We found sections of wall sheathing that had gone soft, which is common on homes this age in Round Rock where humidity and small leaks work behind the boards over time. This is the part homeowners never see, and it's exactly why a real re-clad beats slapping new siding over old problems. We replaced the bad panels with fresh 7/16" OSB wall sheathing so the new James Hardie had a solid, flat base to fasten to. Skipping that step is the single biggest mistake we see on DIY and budget siding jobs.
Fiber cement was the clear pick for a Central Texas exterior. It doesn't feed termites, it won't rot, and it holds its shape when the thermometer climbs past 100.
After the siding cured and was set, we moved into the painting phase. Both the siding and paint work each ran multiple days, so the crew could keep coverage even and let coats dry properly in the summer heat. We used Sherwin Williams SuperPaint across the full exterior. Painting Hardie the right way matters: rush the coats in July and you trap heat and get uneven fade later. We took our time so the color would hold.
The home went from weather-worn to sharp and sealed. New fiber cement plus a full paint system means the exterior is set for years of Round Rock summers and storm seasons.
The job was approved in February 2024 and wrapped on July 3, 2024. Siding and painting each spanned several working days so nothing got rushed in the heat.
Fiber cement holds its shape through triple-digit heat, resists hail impact, and doesn't rot or attract termites. That combination makes it one of the most reliable siding choices for Central Texas homes.
This retail project fell in the $20,000–$25,000 range. Final pricing depends on square footage, how much sheathing needs replacing, and the paint scope.
We painted the full exterior here, including fascia, soffit up to 24", the garage doors, and a shutter set. Matching every surface is what makes a re-clad look truly finished.
