Fascia is the board along the roof edge that your gutters screw into. When it rots, hangers pull out and the whole gutter sags no matter how good the gutter is. Ethan replaces damaged fascia with primed wood or composite board, wraps it in aluminum if you want it maintenance-free, and then hangs gutters into solid material.
How fascia rots
Gutters that overflow behind the back edge, missing drip edge, and snow sitting against the board all soak it repeatedly. Once the paint fails, the wood softens within a couple of seasons.
What the repair involves
Gutters come down, the bad board is cut out back to sound wood, new fascia goes in and gets primed and painted or wrapped in coil stock. Then gutters go back up on solid backing.
Paired with gutter work
Ethan checks fascia on every gutter estimate. If it needs attention, you'll hear it up front with a price, not as a surprise mid-job.

Common questions
- Can you just screw the gutter into a different spot?
- Not for long. Rotted fascia keeps spreading. Fixing the board is the only repair that holds.
- Do you paint the new fascia?
- Yes, primed and painted to match, or wrapped in colored aluminum so it never needs paint again.
