Full James Hardie Select Cedar Mill Fiber Cement Siding Replacement | Complete Sherwin Williams SuperPaint Exterior Repaint
This Round Rock siding project replaced two aging layers of exterior cladding with James Hardie Select Cedar Mill 8.25" fiber cement. We chose the primed cedar-mill profile for its wood-grain texture and its ability to hold up to 100-degree summers and hail. Fiber cement won't warp, rot, or feed pests the way older siding did on this 1990s-era home. The finished exterior is stronger, sharper, and built for Central Texas weather.

The exterior painting phase coated the fresh James Hardie boards with Sherwin Williams SuperPaint for a long-lasting, fade-resistant finish. Our painters also covered the fascia and soffit up to 24 inches, plus both garage doors, for a unified look. SuperPaint stands up well to Round Rock's intense UV and heat cycles. The final coat protects the siding and gives the whole home a clean, finished edge.
The homeowner reached out to Austin Pro in November 2023, having worked with us on a prior project. That returning-customer relationship set the tone early. We logged the lead on November 8 and moved it to a prospect within two days.
We inspected the exterior and found two stacked layers of aging siding, plus fascia and trim that had taken a beating from storms and heat. The damage qualified as an insurance claim. Our assessment flagged the fascia and gutters for replacement before any new siding went up.
The scope came together around James Hardie Select Cedar Mill 8.25" fiber cement paired with a full Sherwin Williams repaint. The insurance claim was approved on April 8, 2024, which locked in the material selections and cleared the job to schedule.
Our crew started with a full double-layer tear-off and hauled away the old gutters. We replaced 1x6 fascia and 1x2 trim, double-wrapped both garage door jambs, then installed the primed cedar-mill boards. The painters followed with SuperPaint on the siding, fascia, soffit, and garage doors.
Punch-out included two yard cleanups and a final item walkthrough. The project reached full completion by late summer 2024. The homeowner ended up with a rot-proof exterior and a fresh, unified paint finish built for Central Texas weather.
We stripped this Round Rock home down to the sheathing, rebuilt the exterior in James Hardie fiber cement, and finished it in fresh Sherwin Williams paint. The house went from patched and fading to a clean, weather-ready exterior built for Central Texas.
The old exterior had reached the end of its life. Years of 100-degree summers, spring hail, and cedar pollen had worn the surface down and let moisture sneak behind the boards.
This was an insurance job, and the homeowner had worked with us before. That history made the call an easy one when the damage got serious.
Most siding jobs peel back one layer. This home had two, stacked on top of each other over the years. That double layer trapped heat and hid whatever was happening underneath.
When we pulled it all off, we could inspect the wall and fascia the way you should before any new board goes up. We found fascia that needed replacing, so we swapped out 1x6 fascia and 1x2 trim before moving forward. Skipping that step is a common mistake. New siding over soft, damaged trim just hides a problem that comes back later. Doing the tear-off in full let us start clean and build an exterior that actually lasts.
We went with James Hardie Select Cedar Mill 8.25" fiber cement. The primed cedar-mill profile gives you the look of real wood grain without the rot, warping, or pest problems wood brings in this climate.
Fiber cement is the right answer for Round Rock. It holds up to hail far better than vinyl, and it doesn't soften or fade in relentless summer heat. The 8.25" board width also gives the walls a bolder shadow line that suits this home's scale.
After the new siding was up, our painters moved in and coated everything in Sherwin Williams SuperPaint. The primed Hardie boards took the finish cleanly and evenly.
We didn't stop at the walls. Pulling the trim, soffit, and garage doors into the same color scheme is what makes an exterior look finished instead of patched.
The home now wears a solid James Hardie skin backed by a durable Sherwin Williams topcoat. Every line, from the wall boards to the garage doors, reads as one clean exterior.
More than looks, the homeowner gets an exterior built for the exact conditions this area throws at it. The siding and paint phases each ran multiple days, with punch-out and full completion wrapping in early July.
Central Texas is hard on exteriors. Fiber cement resists hail impact, doesn't warp in extreme heat, and won't rot when moisture and cedar pollen collect on the surface. It's one of the longest-lasting siding options for this climate.
The homeowner first reached out in late 2023, and the claim was approved in April 2024. Both the siding and paint work spanned several days each, finishing with punch-out and cleanup in early July.
Yes. The SuperPaint field coat seals the primed boards and shields them from UV and heat cycling. It also keeps the color even across the walls, trim, and garage doors.
This job fell in the $50k–$60k range and was handled as an insurance claim. That covered the double-layer tear-off, new James Hardie siding, fascia and trim work, and a full exterior repaint.
