New Fascia Installation

A "new fascia installation" refers to the process of replacing an existing fascia board on a house with a new one, typically done when the old fascia is damaged, rotten, or simply needs an aesthetic update; this involves removing the old fascia, properly measuring and cutting new boards, and securing them in place to create a clean, finished edge where the roof meets the wall and gutter attaches.

Key points about fascia installation:

What it is:

The fascia is the vertical board that runs along the edge of the roofline, where the gutter is attached.

Why it's done:

To repair damage from weather, pests, or general wear and tear, or to improve the appearance of the home.

Materials used:

Commonly, new fascia boards are made from wood, vinyl (PVC), or aluminum, depending on the desired look and durability.

Installation process:

Remove the old fascia board.
Prepare the area by checking the rafters are level.
Measure and cut new fascia boards to size.
Secure the new fascia boards to the house structure using nails, screws, or other fasteners.
Seal any gaps or seams with caulk.
Paint or finish the new fascia to match the existing exterior.

Who does it:
