Siding & Exterior Painting in South Creek, Round Rock, TX

Why did this Round Rock home need new siding?

Older homes around Round Rock take a beating from our climate. Summers push past 100 degrees, spring brings hail, and cedar pollen coats everything each winter. The original cladding here was worn and no longer protecting the walls well.

• Existing siding showed age and weather wear
• Home sits on shifting limestone-heavy soil common to the area
• Wall surfaces needed a fresh, sealed exterior barrier
• Homeowner found us through an internet search back in August

What materials did we use, and why?

We chose James Hardie HardiePlank in the Select Cedar Mill texture, 8.25 inches wide. Fiber cement was the clear pick for this house, and the reason comes down to how it handles Texas weather. It will not warp, crack, or rot the way wood does under relentless heat and humidity swings. Hail bounces off it instead of leaving dents, and it stands up to the moisture that follows every big storm. The Cedar Mill grain also gives you the look of real wood without the upkeep wood demands.

• HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill lap siding, 8.25-inch profile
• Boards arrived primed, ready for a clean topcoat
• Delivered through ABC Supply Co.
• Wood-grain texture without the rot risk of real cedar

How did the siding installation go?

Our crew worked the siding over two days, Oct 7 and Oct 8. We stripped the old material, prepped the walls, and hung the new primed boards with tight, even courses. Careful layout matters here, because clean reveal lines are what make a Cedar Mill wall look right.

• Old cladding removed and hauled off
• New 8.25-inch boards installed across the exterior
• Two rounds of yard cleanup and punch items included
• Site kept clear for the painting crew to follow

What did the exterior painting cover?

Once the siding was up, our painters came in for a single day to coat the whole exterior with Sherwin Williams paint. Paint is not just cosmetic on fiber cement. A quality topcoat blocks UV fade and helps shed the cedar pollen that clings to rough surfaces every year.

• Full paint over the new HardiePlank siding
• Fascia and soffit painted up to 24 inches
• Garage doors coated to match
• All surfaces finished by square footage

What were the results?

The home went from dated and worn to sharp and protected in four days on site. Fiber cement plus a fresh Sherwin Williams finish gives this owner a low-maintenance exterior for years to come. The whole exterior now reads as one clean, unified look.

• Weather-ready shell against heat, hail, and pollen
• Uniform color across siding, trim, and garage doors
