Mr. Handyman of Roswell, Alpharetta and Cumming handles fascia repair and soffit repair for homes across Roswell, GA. The boards along your roofline take a beating here. About 50 inches of rain a year, gutters packed with pine needles, and sticky summers keep that wood damp long enough to rot from the back side, where nobody sees it. Peeling paint near a gutter corner is usually the first clue. So is a soffit panel that's started to droop. Our crew probes the damage and replaces only the bad sections with matched material. As your local Roswell handyman, we'll give you upfront pricing before a single board comes down, so book a visit and we'll take a look.
How Our Fascia and Soffit Repair Works in Roswell, GA
Fascia is the vertical board that runs along the edge of your roof and holds up the gutters. Soffit is the horizontal panel underneath it, closing off the eave and pulling fresh air into the attic through its vents. Water backing up in a clogged gutter soaks the fascia first, then drips down and rots the soffit from the top. Around here, carpenter bees bore half-inch holes into weathered trim each spring, and woodpeckers rip the boards open chasing the larvae.
It starts with a close look from the ladder. We push an awl into the wood and back it up with a moisture meter, because rot nearly always runs farther than the paint lets on. Then the crew takes down the gutter section and cuts the damaged fascia back to solid wood. Soft rafter tails behind it get fixed before any new board goes up. Every replacement piece is primed on all six sides, including the end cuts, since that's where patched trim fails again. We also reset or add drip edge so water sheds into the gutter instead of sneaking behind it.
Material is your call. Primed pine and cedar match what's on most older Roswell homes, while PVC trim board and fiber cement like HardieTrim won't rot at all. We patch or replace wood soffit panels and can swap in vented aluminum when you'd rather skip the painting. The International Residential Code, which Georgia uses as the base for its residential code, calls for about 1 square foot of net free vent area per 150 square feet of attic floor, so we won't cover vents a past owner painted shut. Neighborhoods like Martin's Landing and Horseshoe Bend still have lots of original wood trim. If rot has crept into window casing or corner boards, our wood rot repair covers that in the same visit.
