Soffit, Fascia & Roofline

Fascia Installation & Repair in Toronto & the GTA

Fascia is the board running along the roof edge that your eavestroughs hang from, and by the time you notice it — peeling paint, soft wood, a gutter pulling loose, or a dark stain spreading along the eave — the rot has usually been working for a few seasons. Failing fascia rarely announces itself; it just quietly stops holding screws until the trough lets go under an ice load.

There are two honest versions of this job. Aluminum fascia capping wraps sound wood in maintenance-free metal, and done properly it is a good product. Fascia board replacement means cutting out rot and installing new lumber before any capping goes on. The trap is capping over rotten wood: it looks perfect for a year or two while the board decays to mush behind the aluminum, and then nothing at that edge will hold a hanger. We open up soft spots and replace what is gone — capping comes after, not instead.

Because the eavestroughs have to come off to do fascia properly, this work often pairs with gutter and soffit jobs, and quoting them together saves you a second setup charge. Send photos along the eave line, especially anywhere paint is bubbling or the trough looks like it is leaning away from the house, and we will tell you whether you are looking at capping, board replacement, or a small section repair.

What this covers

  • Removal of eavestroughs where needed to access the fascia, and re-hanging after
  • Cutting out rotten fascia board back to sound wood and installing new lumber
  • Aluminum fascia capping, bent to size and locked at the drip edge and soffit
  • Replacing or re-securing the trim at gable ends and returns
  • Checking rafter tail ends behind bad boards — rot travels, and we chase it to clean wood
  • Sealing joints and nail heads so water stays out from day one
  • Colour matched to soffit, trim and eavestrough
  • Straight advice on whether adjoining soffit or trough work should happen in the same visit

What affects the price

  • Total length of fascia being capped or replaced, and how much of it is rotten versus sound
  • Whether eavestroughs must come down and go back up — or are being replaced anyway
  • Lumber dimensions; deep two-storey fascia takes wider stock and wider aluminum
  • Rot that has spread into rafter tails or soffit framing, which turns trim work into carpentry
  • Height and access along each elevation
  • Capping only versus board replacement plus capping
  • Gable ends and returns, which involve more cutting and fitting per metre than straight runs

Common questions

Can you just cap over my old fascia boards with aluminum?
Only if the wood underneath is sound. Capping over solid boards is standard practice and lasts decades. Capping over rot is the worst thing you can do to a roof edge — the aluminum hides the decay while it spreads, and the eavestrough eventually pulls out because there is nothing left to screw into. We probe the boards first and replace the bad sections before any metal goes on.
What causes fascia boards to rot?
Water, almost always from above: eavestroughs overflowing over the back edge, a missing drip edge letting runoff curl behind the trough, or ice dams pushing meltwater into the joint. Fix the fascia without fixing the water source and you will be back in five years. That is why we look at the gutter slope and drip edge as part of every fascia quote.
Do I need to replace my eavestroughs when the fascia is done?
Not necessarily. Sound troughs come down, get set aside and go back up on new hangers once the fascia is solid. If the gutters are already at the end of their life, though, doing both at once is genuinely cheaper than paying for removal and re-hanging twice — we will price it both ways so you can see the difference rather than take our word for it.
My gutter is pulling away from the house — is that a fascia problem?
Often, yes. Hangers hold only as well as the wood they are screwed into, so a trough leaning outward frequently means the fascia behind it has gone soft. Sometimes it is just old spike fasteners working loose in sound wood, which is a cheap re-hang. A quick probe tells us which one you have — worth finding out before winter loads the trough with ice.
How long does fascia repair take?
A typical section repair — one run of rotten board cut out, replaced and capped — is usually done in a day, including dropping and re-hanging the trough. Full-perimeter capping on a detached house runs one to two days depending on height and how much board replacement turns up once things are opened. Hidden rot is the schedule risk, which is why we probe before quoting.
