Roof-edge basics
What Fascia Is, and Why Gutters Depend on It
Fascia is the board along the roof edge, fastened to the rafter ends. Gutter hangers screw into it.
A gutter full of water is heavy, and soft wood can't hold a screw under that load. That's why gutters on rotted fascia sag and pull away.
What to look for from the ground
Signs of a Fascia Problem
- Gutters pulling away from the house
- Especially after being re-hung once already.
- Peeling or blistered paint on the board
- The wood underneath is staying wet.
- Dark staining or streaks under the gutter
- Water has been running down the board.
- Soft or crumbling wood
- If a screwdriver sinks in, the board is done.
- Visible gaps behind the gutter
- The gutter has already moved.

Fix the cause too
Why Fascia Rots in the First Place
New wood rots too if water keeps reaching it.
Water getting behind the gutter
Roof water running down the board means the roof edge needs attention. See gutter flashing and drip edge.
Gutters that overflow or hold water
Usually a slope, hanger or outlet problem. See gutter repair.
Leaks at the back of old gutters
Failed seams drip onto the fascia for years before anyone notices.

Fascia Replacement Questions
Can you replace only the rotted section?
Yes. Sound board is left alone. The $250 minimum applies to small sections.
How can I tell if my fascia is rotted without climbing a ladder?
Look for gutters pulling away, peeling paint on the board and dark streaks below the gutter. Then text us a photo.
Can new gutters go on my old fascia?
If the wood is solid, yes. We check it before hanging anything.
