WOOD REPAIR: FASCIA AND SOFFIT REPAIRS
In addition to everything gutters, we also provide all wood repair services that are related to the gutter system and/or roofing eave such as fascia, soffit, and rafters.
Overtime exposure to moisture can wreak havoc to fascia boards and soffit along the roofing eave. Since these boards are basically attached to the gutters, issues with the gutter system or roofing eave can drastically decrease the lifespan of these boards.
We able to replace most damaged wood that is associated with the gutter system and roofing eave, such as fascia boards, rake boards, soffit, rafter/trusses, and fascia wrap (fascia metal).

FASCIA BOARD
Fascia Boards are basically trim boards that are installed along the edge of the roofing eave. While the primary purpose of fascia is to cover the exposed edge of the open roof rafters, fascia boards also provide a surface to mount the gutter systems. Therefore, fascia boards are commonly known as “the board behind the gutters”.
The cost for fascia, soffit, and other wood repair varies on a couple factors, such as:
- Whether or not the gutters need to be removed and reinstalled, or are being replaced
- What material and size is being used
- Difficulty (height, ease of access, custom fabrications, etc..)
- When soffit or fascia needs to be removed and reinstalled to configure the other properly
- Materials need to be custom painted before the service date
- Condition of the roofing eave
– LOOSE FASCIA BOARD RE-SECUREMENT:
The entire weight of the gutter system is basically supported by the screws that were used to mount the fascia boards to the roof trusses. When gutters are constantly filling with water due to being clogged or other issues, the weight of the water strains the fascia board screws. Overtime if the issues are allowed to continue, the fascia will eventually pull loose from the home. Often times bringing the gutter and/or soffit down along with it leading to other wood repair.
If dealt with in a reasonable amount of time, fascia boards that come loose from the rafters are typically able to be re-secured to the home using new hardware. As long as the boards are solid and have not sustained water damages.
The cost for fascia board re-securement varies on a couple factors, such as:
- Whether or not the gutters need to be removed and reinstalled, or are being replaced
- If soffit has also pulled loose and will need to be reinstalled
- Difficulty (height, ease of access, etc..)
- Condition of the roofing eave
GENERAL PRICING

– FASCIA BOARD REPLACEMENT:
Once fascia boards start to show signs of wood rot, replacement is necessary. Our cost for fascia board replacement varies on a few factors such as material used, size of the boards, difficulty level, if the soffit is attached, and whether or not the replacement is an add on to a gutter installation. Therefore, quotes for fascia board replacement are provided on a case by case basis.
When unforeseen fascia damage is discovered during a gutter installation project, the crew will advise the homeowner and provide a quote before proceeding with any wood repairs.

RAKE BOARDS
Rake boards are basically fascia boards that run diagonal along sloped roofing edges, otherwise known as gables. An easy way to remember the difference between fascia boards and rake boards is that fascia boards typically run horizontal and support gutters, whereas rake boards are always diagonal and therefore never have gutters installed to them.
The pricing for rake board replacement also varies on factors such as material used, difficulty level, ease of access, if soffit is attached and/or needs to be reinstalled, and the size of the boards. Therefore, quotes for rake board replacements are also provided on a case by case basis.

FASCIA WRAP / RAKE WRAP
Fascia wrap (otherwise known as fascia metal or aluminum trim wrap) is essentially a sheet of aluminum material that is bent into shape so that it is able to cover fascia boards or rake boards to protect them from moisture exposure. By avoiding contact with water natural wood materials are able to last as long as possible.
Fascia wrap comes in a variety of colors and is available in common sizes such as 1 x 6″ and 1 x 8″. However, aluminum trim coil is able to custom bent to fit just about any size of fascia. Since there are also variables that effect the pricing, quotes for aluminum trim wrap are provided on a case by case basis.

Aluminum Fascia Wrap (COLOR) : $8 – $13 per linear ft.
*Wood repair minimum service fee = $325
**Plus sizes, stepped flashing, or custom bending are priced higher than standard
SOFFIT
The underside of an overhanging roof is usually covered with soffit to protect the rafters from the elements. A lot of times the soffit are vented so that they allow air to flow in and out of the roof. This prevents moisture from building up and helps stop mold and mildew in the attic and along the roofing eave.
Soffit comes in a variety of materials that all have varying price points. Therefore there is no standard pricing, and all quotes for soffit are provided on a case by case basis.
GENERAL PRICING

RAFTER REPAIRS
Otherwise known as roof trusses, roof rafters are basically the boards that make up the skeleton of the roof. The tips of the boards (rafter tails) are what the fascia boards are mounted to. The two most common reason for rafter repairs are when the rafter tails are starting to rot, or when the rafters need to be extended out.
If fascia board or roof decking is allowed to rot for extended periods of time, it could eventually spread to the roof rafters. We are not able to replace damaged roof trusses, we are only able to attach extensions from further up the board where it is still solid. (sistering)
Like most other wood repair, rafter repairs are something we don’t typically quote for beforehand because they are rare, unpredictable, and you can’t see them until the gutters and fascia are removed. If we suspect that there may be rafter damage we will advise the customer beforehand.
GENERAL PRICING
Rafter Tail Repairs : $25 – $40 each
*Wood repair minimum service fee = $325
WOOD REPAIR F.A.Q.’S
We will reach out to the customer while on site for quote approval if additional wood damages are discovered. In situations where we may not have the additional materials with us the remainder of the service may need to be rescheduled.
All installations and repairs with My Gutter Doctor are covered by our 3 year craftmanship warranty. This includes fascia, soffit, and all other wood repairs. Our warranty guarantees the work is completed to industry standards, and covers situations such as if the boards were to come loose, fall, or fail in any way.
In most situations yes. However, confirming the color match is 100% up to the customer. We will only purchase the color chosen by the customer, and are not responsible in any way if the customer does not like the color that they chose. In addition, a non refundable material deposit will be required for all custom color painting services. The deposit is to ensure we are not stuck with the paint or associated labor costs if a customer was to cancel the service last minute.
We only provide white semi-gloss exterior paint for all fascia and soffit projects. If the project requires any other color than white it is up to the homeowner to confirm the existing color and also provide the paint. In addition, depending on the amount of wood to be painted we may need the paint up to 1-2 weeks before the service date. That way we have ample time to apply several coats of primer and paint.
*Additional fees will apply for in house painting to cover for additional time, materials, etc.. Painting PVC boards will require specialized PVC primer.
