FASCIA REPAIR - Fascia repair involves restoring the horizontal board that runs along the edge of the roof, which supports the gutter system and protects the roof’s edge from moisture and pests. Damage to fascia boards often results from prolonged exposure to water, leading to rot, mold, or insect infestation. The repair process begins with inspecting the fascia for signs of decay, such as soft spots, discoloration, or sagging gutters.After inspection, the damaged sections are carefully removed, and replacement boards—typically treated wood, composite, or PVC—are measured and installed to fit seamlessly with the existing roofline. It's essential to prime and seal the new fascia material to enhance resistance against future moisture exposure. If the damage extends to the soffit or rafters, those areas may need reinforcement or replacement to maintain structural integrity. Once repairs are complete, reattaching the gutter system correctly is crucial to ensure proper water drainage. Some contractors also recommend installing drip edges or protective flashing to prevent future water intrusion. A fresh coat of exterior-grade paint not only restores the aesthetic but also adds an extra layer of weatherproofing. Periodic maintenance, such as cleaning gutters and inspecting for paint peeling or insect activity, can greatly extend the life of fascia boards and protect the home’s overall envelope.
