Fascia Repair
Sound Wood Restored
When gutter screws spin and paint bubbles along the roofline, the fascia behind has gone soft. Repair cuts the rot back to sound wood and rebuilds — before the gutters ride the board down.
Surgical, When Surgery Is Honest
Localized rot — the section under a long-time gutter leak, the corner the downspout splashed for years — repairs surgically: gutter dropped, soft wood cut back until the saw finds sound grain, new primed board spliced in, joints sealed, and the gutter re-hung on hangers that finally grip. We also fix why it rotted — the overflow, the missing drip edge — or the splice inherits the same fate.
Patch, Wrap, Or Replace The Run
Probing tells the truth: one soft section earns the splice; softness recurring along the run means the repair era is closing — that’s fascia replacement territory, where new board plus aluminum wrap retires the rot cycle entirely. We probe the whole line on every repair call and give you the honest map, not just the fix you called about.
Exterior Questions, Straight Answers
How do I know if my fascia is rotten behind the gutter?
Spinning gutter screws, sagging runs, peeling paint at the roof edge, and wood that dents to a thumb — any of these says probe it, which the free visit does.
Can you repair fascia without removing my gutters?
The affected section’s gutter comes down and goes back up — part of the job, and the re-hang into new wood is half the point.
Will the repaired section match my existing fascia?
Primed and painted to match, or wrapped in aluminum with the rest of the run for a uniform, paint-free line.
What causes fascia boards to rot?
Overflowing or back-spilling gutters above, missing drip edge behind, and splash at downspout corners — water sources first, wood failure second.
Can gutters be attached to rotted fascia?
Not for long — hangers in soft wood creep loose and the run rides the board down. Sound wood first, then fastening; that order is the whole repair.
What is the fascia board on a house?
The vertical board running along the roof edge that gutters fasten to — the structural face of the roofline, and the first wood casualty of gutter problems.
How much rot is too much to repair?
Recurring softness along the run — one or two sections splice honestly; a probe finding soft wood everywhere means the replacement conversation is the honest one.
Do you paint the repaired fascia section?
Primed and painted to match, or wrapped in aluminum with the run for a uniform paint-free line — your call, quoted both ways.
