Why choose us
Why Austin homeowners call Nighthawk for siding
Local crews, proven materials, and a standard we will not lower for speed or price.
Built on Central Texas ground
We have spent years working the neighborhoods between San Marcos and Temple. That means we know the hail tracks, the soil, the wind corridors, and the HOA rules on your street before we ever set foot on the property. When we quote siding work, it is based on what actually happens to homes here, not a generic chart.
Materials we trust
We install products we would put on our own houses. Every material on this list is chosen because it holds up to Texas sun, hail, and wind, and because the manufacturer stands behind it with a real warranty.
- James Hardie fiber cement
- ColorPlus factory finish
- Insulated vinyl siding
- Vented soffit & fascia trim
Committed to your property
The crew that inspects your siding is the same crew that does the work. No subcontractor handoff, no middleman markup. We protect your landscaping, clean the site daily, and stand behind the finished job. If something is not right, you call us, not a 1-800 number.
Financing options
Managing the cost of your siding project
A roof or exterior replacement is a real investment. We make sure the payment side is not the thing that keeps you up at night.
Flexible monthly plans
Spread the cost of your project across manageable monthly payments instead of paying it all at once. We work with financing partners who understand that a roof or siding job is not a planned expense, it is usually an urgent one. Plans range from short-term payoff to longer terms that keep your monthly number low.
Don't wait for an insurance check
If your adjuster is still reviewing the claim or the payout is weeks out, financing lets us get the work started now. You stop the leak, secure the property, and pay the balance down once your insurance funds arrive. No tarp on your roof for a month waiting on paperwork.
Simple, upfront terms
Your estimator walks you through the financing application during the inspection, right at your kitchen table. No obligation, no hard credit pull until you decide to move forward. You see the rate, the term, and the monthly payment before you sign anything.
Works with insurance deductibles
Many homeowners use financing to cover their deductible portion of a storm claim, so the job does not stall on out-of-pocket cost. We coordinate the scope, the claim, and the financing so you understand exactly what insurance covers and what your plan handles.
Materials & brands
Siding options we install
James Hardie fiber cement
ColorPlus factory finish or primed for field paint. Installed to Hardie spec with proper clearance, flashing, and a rainscreen where the wall needs to breathe. This is the product that survives Texas UV and hail without warping.
Vinyl siding
Insulated vinyl for budgets that need to move faster. Low maintenance, no repaint cycle, solid color-through panels that hide scratches.
Trim, soffit, and fascia
We replace rotted fascia and soffit while the ladders are already up. Vented soffit keeps your attic temperature down and your roof warranty valid.
Installation process
Siding installation starts with a flat, dry substrate. We remove the old material, inspect the sheathing and house wrap underneath, replace any rotted wood, then install the new siding to manufacturer spacing and clearance requirements. Fiber cement gets a rainscreen gap where the wall needs to breathe. Every joint is flashed, every penetration is caulked, and every course is checked for level before we fasten it.
Maintenance and lifespan
Fiber cement holds its factory finish for 12 to 15 years in Central Texas sun. Vinyl needs no paint but may fade on south and west exposures after 10 years. Inspect caulk lines at windows, doors, and penetrations annually. If you see gaps, call us before water gets behind the siding.
Questions
Siding FAQ
Is fiber cement worth the extra cost over vinyl?
In Austin, yes. Fiber cement resists hail, holds paint for 12 to 15 years, and will not melt near a grill or reflected window heat. Vinyl is fine on a budget, but it fades faster here.
Can you match my existing siding?
In most cases yes. We match profile and color, and if the original product is discontinued we show you the closest current match before we order.
Do you paint the new siding?
You choose. ColorPlus comes factory-finished. Primed board gets painted on site with an exterior acrylic rated for Texas sun.
