Fascia Board Installation

Fascia Board Installers in the Puget Sound Area
The fascia board is the strip that runs horizontally, beneath the roof line, covering the exposed ends of the rafters of the roof and protecting the soffit below. Gutters are typically installed onto the fascia board, what makes that usually a big part of it is not visible, as it is partially hidden behind the gutters.
The fascia board installation cost varies depending on the type, size or finish of the wood, or house factors such as the number of feet to install and the difficulty of the installation. When there is an issue in the fascia, we might be able to isolate the problem and replace just one section or a full replacement, all depending on how widespread the issue is. We always recommend to hire a trusted and professional contractor to install, repair, or replace this essential piece of your home.
Fascia Board: What are its Functions?
Structural support to your home
The fascia board gives support to the roofline and the soffit, and protection to the structures in the area. The main features of a good fascia board are strength, durability, and low maintenance. The fascia is attached to the rafter tails’ uncovered ends.
A place to attach the gutters
The fascia board is the place where in most cases the gutters are attached, supporting the roofline of the house. It must be able to support the weight of the gutters when they’re filled with rain.
Prevents the water to get into other structures
The fascia is the part of the roof that is used to create a barrier between the outside and the edge of the roof.
Prevents insects and other animals to nest in the house structures
Makes the house look aesthetically beautiful, and even changes the house looks depending on the size and the colors.
The exterior trim is one of the most important finishing pieces of the design of your home, as it will impact the looks of the facade. These boards may vary in width, color, wood and finish.
