How it works
Rotted fascia can no longer hold a gutter, and a damaged soffit can let in animals and block the attic's intake air. Repair replaces the bad boards; many businesses also wrap them in metal or replace them with vinyl or aluminum.
- Find how far the rot runs along the edge.
- Fix the water source first: the gutter, the ice dam, or a roof edge leak.
- Replace the damaged boards and reopen any soffit vents.
- Rehang gutters on sound fascia.
When to call
Call when trim is soft, stained or peeling at the roof edge, or when a gutter will not stay attached.
