2017 Red Diamond Achiever Awards: And the Winners Are In
Without further ado, here are the six winners of Marvin Integrity's 2017 Red Diamond Achiever Awards.
Installing Vinyl-Frame, Triple-Glazed Windows
These quality windows offer warmth, no condensation on the interior, and somewhat higher R-values.

Exterior Trim Painting
Holding off on the roofing saves time painting.
Trimming the Windows
Preassembled Boral trim is pocketed screwed together.
Installing Boral TruExterior Trim for the First Time
Production builders try the composite building material and compare its workability to traditional wood options.
Podcast Episode 67 — Siding Next to a Stepped Foundation
Building with insulating concrete forms, preventing rot on low-slope roofing, and mad props for your humble show-notes compiler.
FHB House 2017: Roofing
Oriented for solar and packed with 20 inches of insulation, the FHB House roof is the topper on this high-performance production home.
Second-Floor Air Barrier
The interior air barrier is installed before framing the interior walls.
