Complete James Hardie HardiePlank Cedar Mill Siding Installation | Comprehensive Sherwin Williams Super Paint Exterior Coating
This established North Austin home needed complete siding replacement to address weather damage and aging exterior materials common in Central Texas properties. We installed James Hardie HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill in the 8.25-inch profile, chosen specifically for its engineered resistance to Austin's extreme heat, hail storms, and humidity fluctuations. The project included new 6-inch fascia boards with proper 1x2 backing to ensure structural integrity and eliminate future moisture issues. The Cedar Mill texture provides authentic wood grain appearance without the maintenance requirements of natural wood siding in our harsh climate.

The exterior painting scope complemented the new siding installation with Sherwin Williams Super Paint application across all exterior surfaces including the fresh HardiePlank siding, existing fascia and soffit areas, entry doors, and the complete gutter system. Super Paint was selected for its advanced acrylic formulation that withstands Austin's intense summer heat and UV radiation while maintaining color stability and adhesion. The comprehensive paint coverage created visual continuity between new and existing exterior elements while providing an additional protective barrier against moisture intrusion and thermal cycling damage common in Central Texas homes.
The homeowner found Austin Pro through Yelp on March 18th, 2024, reaching out about their home's deteriorating siding and exterior paint needs. Our initial conversation revealed typical concerns we hear from North Austin homeowners dealing with weather-damaged exteriors and the maintenance challenges of aging materials in Central Texas conditions.
Our assessment team visited the property on March 21st to evaluate the existing siding condition and exterior paint surfaces. We documented areas where moisture had compromised the original materials, measured all surfaces requiring siding replacement, and identified the scope for comprehensive exterior painting including fascia, soffit, doors, and gutters.
The detailed estimate covered James Hardie HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill siding with new fascia boards, plus Sherwin Williams Super Paint application across all exterior surfaces. The homeowner approved the project scope on March 26th, recognizing the value of addressing both siding replacement and complete exterior painting in a coordinated approach.
Installation began in April with material deliveries from ABC Supply Co and coordination with our painting subcontractors. The crew systematically replaced fascia boards, installed the new HardiePlank siding, and applied Super Paint to all specified surfaces including the fresh siding, existing trim work, doors, and gutter system.
The project reached completion on May 22nd with final walkthrough and invoicing. The homeowner now has a completely refreshed exterior with James Hardie's engineered durability and Sherwin Williams' proven paint protection, creating a maintenance-friendly system designed for Austin's demanding climate conditions.
This North Austin homeowner contacted us through Yelp in March 2024 with concerns about their home's aging exterior. Like many properties in the 78758 area, years of 100°+ summers, hail storms, and UV exposure had taken their toll on the original siding materials.
During our initial assessment, we found typical deterioration patterns we see throughout Central Texas: sections where moisture had compromised the existing siding, fascia boards showing weather damage, and an overall exterior that needed comprehensive updating to protect the home's structural integrity.
For the siding replacement, we specified James Hardie HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill in the 8.25-inch profile. This fiber cement product delivers the authentic wood grain texture homeowners want without the maintenance headaches of natural wood in our climate. The Cedar Mill texture adds depth and character while the engineered composition resists warping, cracking, and insect damage.
The fascia replacement involved 6-inch James Hardie boards with proper 1x2 backing—a critical detail for long-term performance in Austin's thermal cycling conditions. This backing system prevents the buckling and separation issues we often see with improperly installed fascia.
For the exterior painting scope, we selected Sherwin Williams Super Paint across all surfaces. This acrylic formulation maintains adhesion and color stability through our extreme temperature swings and intense UV exposure.
The project launched in mid-March with material procurement from ABC Supply Co. The installation sequence began with fascia replacement to establish proper substrates for the new siding. Our crew systematically removed the old siding while protecting the home's weather barrier and insulation.
The HardiePlank installation followed James Hardie's specifications for our climate zone, with proper spacing for thermal expansion and corrosion-resistant fasteners rated for Central Texas conditions. Each board received factory primer treatment, ready for the comprehensive paint application.
Painting began with the new siding surfaces, followed by fascia and soffit areas up to 24 inches in height. The scope included the front doors and complete gutter system with downspouts—creating visual continuity across all exterior elements. Multiple delivery fees reflected the coordinated material staging required for this comprehensive exterior update.
The installation wrapped up in April, with final invoicing completed on May 22nd and project closeout in June. The transformation addressed every exterior surface that needed attention while establishing a maintenance-friendly exterior system.
The Cedar Mill texture provides the rich appearance of natural wood siding without the ongoing maintenance requirements. Super Paint delivers the protective barrier and color retention this homeowner needs for years of reliable performance.
This combination of James Hardie fiber cement siding with quality exterior paint addresses the specific challenges we face in Central Texas. The engineered siding resists our climate extremes while the premium paint system maintains appearance and protection.
For North Austin homeowners dealing with similar siding deterioration, this approach delivers both immediate curb appeal improvements and long-term performance benefits. The investment in quality materials and proper installation techniques pays dividends through reduced maintenance requirements and superior weather resistance.
Many properties in established Austin neighborhoods benefit from this comprehensive exterior update, especially when original materials have reached the end of their service life in our demanding climate conditions.
