Replace Rotted Fascia

Cut Back to Solid, Flash It Right

Rotted fascia behind failing gutters is the classic cause of roof-line damage. This book walks the cut-back, the new board, and the flashing that prevents the rot from returning.

About This Guide

Cut back to solid. Re-flash. Paint. Gutters go back.

Fascia is the horizontal trim board that caps the rafter ends at the roof edge. Gutters hang from it. When gutters clog or fail, water runs back behind them and rots the fascia.

This book walks: - Identifying rot extent (probe, not just visual). - Removing gutter and rotted fascia safely. - Cutting back to solid wood. - Installing new fascia. - Flashing behind the fascia (the step most DIYers skip). - Primer and paint. - Remounting gutters properly.
