Our view
Why fascia rots and how to stop it
Fascia almost always rots from water: gutters that overflow or pull away, or a missing drip edge that lets water run behind the gutter onto the board. Replacing the board without fixing the water just resets the clock.
When we replace fascia we check the gutters, the drip edge and the rafter tails behind it. See our soffit and fascia service, our soffit and fascia guide and our gutter work.

Can fascia be replaced without removing gutters?
