What to know
Find the water source before replacing trim
Fascia damage can result from gutter overflow, failed drip edge, roof-edge defects, open joints, or repeated wetting. Replacing surface material without correcting the source can lead to another failure.
What to know
Preserve ventilation and pest protection
Soffit repair should account for intake vents, screens, insulation blockage, and existing airflow. Openings should be closed appropriately without blocking required ventilation.
What to know
Coordinate gutters and roof edges
Gutters may need temporary removal or resetting. The repair scope should explain fascia condition, backing or rafter-tail attachment, edge metal, coating, and drainage.

How much wood is deteriorated
Paint failure can hide deeper rot.

New fascia with the same overflowing gutter will fail again.
Ventilation needs
Closed soffits should not be rebuilt without an intake plan.
Matching exterior finishes
