In today’s episode of The Build Show, Matt Risinger visits the personal home of Daniel Glauser, Director of Construction at Risinger Build, to examine the technical building decisions behind a high-performance residential exterior. The walkthrough focuses on durable, low-maintenance aluminum cladding, exterior insulation strategies, fire-resistant assemblies, and rain-screen detailing designed to improve longevity and resilience. Matt and Daniel discuss why material selection, thermal control layers, and non-combustible assemblies matter—especially in modern construction and wildland-urban interface zones. This episode provides a practical, real-world example of building science principles in action, highlighting how Risinger Build applies advanced construction methods not only on client projects, but in their own homes to achieve long-term performance, efficiency, and reduced maintenance.
