What Is a Fascia Board?

A horizontal board located just below the edge of the roof. It supports the lower roof edge, holds the gutters and gives the exterior a finished look.

How Do I Know My Fascia Boards Are Damaged?

Look for soft or crumbling wood, discoloration, mold, peeling paint, sagging gutters and signs of pests. Gutters pulling away from the roofline are a common clue.

What Causes Fascia Board Damage?

Mostly moisture, pests and general wear and tear. Water damage leads to rot, and termites, ants or squirrels can get into the wood.

Should I Repair or Replace Fascia Boards?

It depends on the extent of the problem. Jobs range from minor fixes to replacing the boards. We assess the damage and tell you which one yours need.

Why Are My Gutters Sagging?

Misaligned or sagging gutters are often a result of weakened or damaged fascia boards, since the boards hold the gutters in place.

Do Fascia Boards Need Maintenance?

Yes. Regular maintenance and inspections are key to preventing fascia board damage and catching issues while they’re still small.

Why fascia boards matter

Fascia boards sit just below the roof edge as a barrier against the elements.

These horizontal boards support the lower edge of the roof, secure the gutters in place and give your home’s exterior a clean, finished look.

Over time, moisture, pests and general wear and tear break them down. Catching the damage early keeps it from spreading to the rest of your roofing system.
