Matt Risinger, expert homebuilding professional and host of the YouTube series, The Build Show, knows a thing or two about Hardie® products – he’s been using them for nearly 25 years.

Recently, Risinger completed his family home, using Hardie® siding, Hardie® trim, and Hardie® soffit.

When asked the number one reason Risinger chose Hardie® products for his home? Durability.

Having witnessed firsthand the resilience of Hardie® fiber cement against diverse weather conditions, he swears by its natural resistance to rot, pests, and fire.

Contrast that with some of the wood-based products in the marketplace, and Risinger says for him, “It’s an absolute no-brainer” to go with James Hardie.
