Join Matt Risinger and Tim Hill of Risinger Build as they walk through a real custom home project and explain why they continue to choose fiber cement siding for its durability, fire resistance, and long-term performance.

In this video, they cover proper installation techniques, recommended clearances, best practices for storing and handling fiber cement, moisture management, rainscreen systems, flashing details, mounting blocks, fastening methods, and the common mistakes that can shorten the lifespan of your siding.

They also discuss the differences between factory-finished and field-painted fiber cement and share the building science principles and real-world experience that help create a longer-lasting, lower-maintenance exterior for any home.
