In this episode of the Build Show, Matt Risinger is on site in New England highlighting five critical construction details from a high-performance home built by Shoreline Builders and designed by architect Steve Baczek. From properly executed kickout flashing and deck-to-wall spacers to airtight garage separation and thoughtful sequencing of the garage slab pour, Matt breaks down the small decisions that make a big difference in durability and long-term performance. He also explores smart pest protection at bay windows, the value of exterior trim mockups for client communication, and why LVL stair stringers are worth the investment. This project is part of the Forever Home series, showcasing craftsmanship, planning, and building science principles that every builder should strive to emulate.
