Siding

James Hardie

This Round Rock home received new James Hardie siding in the 8.25-inch HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill profile. Fiber cement was the right call for Somerset's mix of intense summer heat and spring hail. We also added Hardie fascia, soffit, and brick pocket trim for a fully sealed exterior. The result holds its shape and finish through Central Texas weather swings.

Exterior Painting

Sherwin Williams

The exterior painting scope covered fascia, soffit, garage doors, and shutters using Sherwin Williams coatings. We matched the fresh paint to the new siding for a unified facade. The two-day paint job followed close behind the siding install. Quality coatings help this Round Rock home fight fading under 100-degree summers.

First Contact

The homeowner found Austin Pro through an internet search and reached out in mid-July 2022. The lead came in on July 13, and we set up a first conversation about replacing the home's worn exterior in Somerset.

Evaluation

Our team assessed the property and became an active prospect on July 18, 2022. We inspected the failing boards, fascia, soffit, and trim, paying close attention to the sun-worn west and south walls and the vulnerable brick pocket and garage jamb transitions.

PLanning & Approval

The homeowner approved the project on August 17, 2022. We finalized the scope around James Hardie 8.25-inch Select Cedar Mill siding, matching Hardie trim, and a full Sherwin Williams exterior repaint, then scheduled material delivery through ABC Supply.

Installation

On-site work ran from November 1 through November 4, 2022. The crew installed the HardiePlank siding over several days, wrapped the porch columns and garage door jambs, and set the new fascia and soffit. The exterior painting followed close behind, taking two days.

Completion

We wrapped the job on November 4, 2022, with the exterior fully clad and painted. Two rounds of yard cleanup and punch-list items closed out the work.

Siding in Round Rock | Austin Pro

We re-clad and repainted a Somerset home in Round Rock, TX, swapping its tired exterior for James Hardie HardiePlank and a full Sherwin Williams paint job. The facade now reads clean, sealed, and built for Central Texas weather.

Project at a glance

  • Services: Siding and exterior painting
  • Neighborhood: Somerset, Round Rock, TX (78681)
  • Vendor & product: James Hardie HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill
  • Material: 8.25" fiber cement lap siding, primed, with Hardie fascia and soffit
  • Timeframe: On-site work ran multiple days
  • Standout outcome: A fully wrapped, freshly painted exterior built to handle hail and 100-degree heat

Why did this Somerset home need new siding?

The original exterior had reached the end of its useful life. Somerset homes in this pocket of Round Rock date back a couple of decades, and their old cladding tends to swell, crack, and fade over time. This one showed the same wear.

  • Weathered boards that no longer held a clean paint line
  • Fascia and soffit ready for replacement, not just a recoat
  • Porch columns and garage jambs left exposed to moisture

What did we find when we inspected the home?

When our crew walked the exterior, the pattern was clear. Sun and moisture had done the most damage on the west and south faces, where afternoon heat sits hardest. We also flagged the brick pocket transitions and garage door jambs as weak points where water could sneak behind the wall. Those small gaps are exactly what homeowners tend to miss until rot shows up years later. Catching them during the siding phase saved a bigger repair down the road.

  • West and south walls showed the heaviest fading
  • Brick pockets needed new 1" x 4" trim to seal the edge
  • Garage door jambs, including the double, called for wrapping

What materials did we use, and why?

We went with James Hardie's 8.25-inch Select Cedar Mill in fiber cement, primed and ready for paint. That profile gives a natural wood-grain look without the maintenance headaches real cedar brings in this climate. Fiber cement doesn't swell in humidity or shrink in a 100-degree stretch, and it shrugs off the hail that rolls through Central Texas most springs. The wider 8.25-inch reveal also suits the scale of these Somerset homes better than a narrow board. It was the smart long-term choice for a house that takes a beating from both sun and storms.

  • Hardie 6" fascia with a 1x2 backer for a solid edge
  • Hardie soffit installed with H-mold for tight seams
  • Porch columns and posts wrapped in 3/4" Hardie trim
  • ABC Supply handled the material delivery to the site

How did the paint work go?

The painting phase followed close behind the siding, running two days shortly after install. We used Sherwin Williams coatings across the exterior for color depth and UV resistance. Quality paint matters here because our summer sun fades cheap product fast.

  • Fascia and soffit painted up to 24"
  • Garage doors coated to match the new scheme
  • A set of two shutters refinished for contrast
  • Full surface painting priced by the square

What were the results?

The home came out looking new from the curb, with every trim detail sealed and coated. The Hardie shell and Sherwin Williams finish work together to keep moisture out and color locked in. Two rounds of yard cleanup and punch-list items closed the job on November 4, 2022.

  • Continuous, sealed exterior with no exposed gaps
  • Unified paint color across siding, trim, and doors
  • Clean site handoff after a double punch-out pass

Frequently asked questions

How long did the whole project take?

On-site work spanned four days, from November 1 to November 4, 2022. Siding went up first over several days, and the two-day paint job followed shortly after.

Why is fiber cement better than wood siding in Round Rock?

Real cedar warps and rots under our humidity swings and cedar pollen season. Fiber cement holds its shape through 100-degree heat and resists hail impact far better, which means fewer callbacks and repairs.

What did this project cost?

This retail siding and painting job fell in the $20k–$25k range. The final figure reflects full re-cladding, fascia and soffit work, trim wraps, and a complete exterior repaint.

Does the new siding come with a warranty?

Yes. James Hardie backs its fiber cement products with a strong manufacturer warranty, and our workmanship stands behind the install. Reach out to Austin Pro for the specific coverage details on a job like this.
