Scope of Work

What We Did

Full-Home NT Executive Vinyl Window Replacement · Siding Refresh with Matched Stucco Repair and Exterior Paint

Windows

This Round Rock, TX project centered on a full window replacement using the NT Windows Executive vinyl line. The homeowner's windows were set in stucco, so we cut, fit, and repaired each opening for a tight seal. Vinyl was the right call here because it handles Central Texas heat well and needs little upkeep. The result: efficient, low-maintenance windows and repaired stucco ready for a fresh coat.

Siding

For this Round Rock, TX home, we added James Hardie Select Cedar Mill 8.25" fiber cement siding. We chose it because fiber cement resists warping, cracking, and hail damage that plagues aging Central Texas exteriors. The crew ran the siding over multiple days, then painted the following day for a finished look. The homeowner ended up with a durable, sharp-looking exterior built for our climate.

How It Went

The Journey

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

First contact

The homeowner found Austin Pro through an internet search and reached out in mid-June 2023. The first conversation focused on replacing aging windows and giving the exterior a full refresh. We logged the lead on June 15 and moved quickly into a site visit.

Evaluation

We inspected the windows and the surrounding stucco to gauge the real scope. The openings showed the settling and stucco wear common in older Round Rock homes on limestone soil. That assessment told us stucco repair had to be part of the plan, not an afterthought.

Planning & approval

June 29, 2023

The prospect stage was set on June 29, 2023, and the homeowner approved the work the next day, June 30. We selected the NT Executive window line and folded stucco repair and paint into the siding quote. That kept the whole exterior scope under one clear plan.

Installation

Windows were ordered in early August and arrived in late September. We installed them across several days in early October, then moved into the multi-day siding phase soon after. Painting followed the day after siding wrapped so all surfaces matched.

Completion

October 26, 2023

We completed the punch walk on October 26, 2023, checking every window, the repaired stucco, and the fresh paint. The home was invoiced the same day and the project closed on November 15. The finished exterior stands up to Central Texas heat and hail with far less upkeep.

The Full Story

Inside This Project

Why did this Round Rock home need new windows?

The old windows were losing the fight against Central Texas summers. Homes in the 78681 area often run older aluminum or early vinyl units that leak air and let heat pour in. This homeowner wanted lower cooling bills and windows that would not warp or fade in 100-degree stretches.

What did we find when we inspected the home?

Stucco homes hide their trouble spots until you open them up. When we pulled the old windows, we found the usual for a house this age: openings that had settled slightly and stucco that needed real repair, not just caulk over the top. Limestone-heavy soil around Round Rock causes small shifts over the years, and those shifts show up around window frames first. We flagged the stucco work early so the homeowner knew it was part of the job, not a surprise. Getting that right is what keeps water out during a hard Texas storm.

What materials did we use, and why?

We went with the NT Executive vinyl line for the windows. Vinyl holds up in heat without the expansion problems metal frames have, and it needs almost no upkeep. The homeowner never has to sand or repaint a frame again.

How did the installation actually go?

We ran the window install over several days in early October, working opening by opening so the home stayed sealed each night. Once the windows were set and the stucco patched, we moved into the siding phase. That work also spanned multiple days, since a full-home exterior takes time to do cleanly. The stucco repair line lived on the siding quote, which kept the scope and the paint tied together. Painting followed the day after siding wrapped, so the crew could match colors across new and repaired surfaces in one pass.

What were the results?

The home reads as one clean, finished exterior instead of a patchwork of old and new. The windows sit tight, the stucco is smooth, and the fresh paint pulls it all together. The punch walk was completed on October 26, 2023.

Straight Answers

Questions About This Project

How long did the whole project take from approval to finish?

The homeowner approved the work on June 30, 2023, and we completed the punch on October 26. Most of that gap was window lead time, since the NT Executive units were ordered in August and arrived in late September.

Why choose vinyl windows for a Round Rock home?

Vinyl frames handle 100-degree summers without the warping or heat transfer you see in older aluminum. They also shrug off cedar pollen and need no repainting, which suits the low-upkeep goal here.

What did the project cost?

This combined windows and siding job fell in the $40k–$50k range. The price reflected a full-home window set, siding, stucco repair, and exterior paint together.

Why repair the stucco instead of just recaulking around the windows?

Proper stucco repair keeps water from working behind the wall during heavy Texas storms. A caulk-only fix looks fine at first but fails fast when limestone soil shifts the frame again.
