What Does Dallas Fascia Repair and Fascia Installation Include?

You may be familiar with how people coin the terms “soffit and fascia.” Having explained the latter above, your soffit is the underside of your roof overhang. While your fascia boards mark the edge of your roof, the soffit is the part that connects to your siding. Like your fascia, the soffit has an important role in protecting your roof rafters from the elements. It also keeps moisture away and promotes ventilation (via soffit vents) in your attic space. Both systems have the primary function of protecting your home from moisture intrusion. While modern soffits are made of high-quality aluminum, most fascia boards are made of wooden materials. Ideally, they have a protective cover to block out moisture and are equipped with a drip edge (or flashing) over top to redirect any stormwater into the gutter system. Unfortunately, most residential structures (especially older ones) don’t have either type of water protection.

Here are a few common tasks you can expect from our Dallas fascia repair service:

• Full inspection during which our experts will check for moisture or water damage and wood rot. Rotten wood is among the most issues in Dallas. Exterior wood systems must be maintained regularly with sealing, staining, or repainting.
• We’ll also be able to see whether you’ve been keeping up with your gutter cleaning services, as clogged gutters can have detrimental effects on your wooden boards.
• Should you have decayed wood, we’ll see how accessible it is. If it’s only minor, we could cut out the affected areas and use wood filler during the fascia board repair. However, if the damage is widespread, you will need a Dallas fascia replacement.

You may wonder whether it depends on the material type you have in place. It’s true that wood is more sensitive than say aluminum. As long as you take the necessary measures to maintain all types of exterior materials, you could save yourself a lot of headaches. But don’t fret! Mr. Handyman is here to help you from start to finish with repairs and brand-new installations; whatever fascia or gutter services you may need.

Dallas Fascia Installation

There is no good or bad time for a brand-new fascia installation. Definitely not during a roof repair or replacement service because the longboard is typically independent of your roof structure. However, when you plan a gutter replacement, it’s always worth checking your fascia boards’ health as well. Should the fascia damage be widespread, we’ll recommend a replacement service to fully recover its functions.

The new installation process will begin with us detaching your rain gutters and drip edge. We’ll remove the brackets, straps, and bolts to get clear access.

The next step won’t be pretty, as we’ll be using a hammer and pry bar to remove the existing longboard from your roofline’s lower edge. No matter how damaged it is, we can still take its measurements to prepare and cut the replacement board. During the cutting process, it’s essential to cut the boards at a 45-degree angle. That’s because we’ll be cutting several boards (depending on your roofline’s linear footage) to join.

Of course, we’ll make sure to properly seal the replacement boards and also recommend installing a trim cover to protect them. Seams must be covered accordingly to protect from water intrusion.

FAQs About Dallas Fascia Repair and Fascia Installation

What Are the Typical Warning Signs I Need Fascia Repair?

We should say the best time to check is during the spring and fall, around the same time you would inspect your rain gutters. You’ll never know whether it might be time for a Dallas fascia repair appointment unless you pay attention to warning signs such as:

• Peeling or flaky paint
• Discolored or warped wood
• Gutters leaking or sagging
• You have wood soffit that is peeling, damaged soffit boards
• Increased indoor humidity levels and bad ventilation
• Mildew and mold growth
• Pest infestation, including rodents in your attic
• Roof rot
• Other obvious signs of damage

How Does Fascia Replacement Work?

The process is very similar to a brand-new installation job. There are a number of careful steps to consider, but our Dallas handyman experts have it all figured out. We’ll remove your gutter and flashing system, followed by removing the old longboard structure. A simple look at it will help us find a better solution that ensures your replacement unit will outlast the old one.

Once our Dallas fascia repair experts have the right measurements, they will move on to cutting the boards and preparing them for installation. We’ll also recommend using a trim cover that ensures the structure is protected from moisture at all times. Not using a cover is also an option, but the pieces of wood must be properly sealed. Please note that this process must be repeated on a periodic basis.

We’ll use screws and nails to attach the new system along your roofline’s lower edge, followed by another detailed inspection. Next, we’ll reattach your rain gutters and all will look good as new!

How Do I Best Maintain My Soffit and Fascia?

When it’s time for gutter maintenance, keep in mind that your soffit and fascia may also need some attention. If you don’t have a trim cover for your fascia board, remember to apply a new coat of paint or sealant every three to four years. And also pay attention to your indoor quality as the lack of ventilation could indicate blocked soffit vents. You can use a mild detergent to clean your soffit surfaces, which helps protect against mildew.
