Hardie Plank Siding Repair — Misty Cove, Austin TX
February 2024
Homeowner off Misty Cove in Austin called about deteriorated siding where the gable and roofline meet — moisture intrusion and seasonal expansion had split and pulled the original boards loose, leaving gaps at the eaves and trim. Left alone, that's an open door for rot and pests behind the wall. I removed the failed sections, inspected the underlying sheathing for water damage, and replaced everything with HardiePlank fiber-cement siding — chosen specifically because it stands up to Central Texas heat, humidity swings, and freeze-thaw cycles. Cut and fit each piece tight to the existing rooflines and trim, then sealed the transitions to keep weather out for good. Result is a clean, watertight exterior that matches the home's existing stone and siding and is built to hold up through Austin's seasons. Owner-direct, one and done.
