Strong winds can wreak havoc on your home’s exterior, with one of the most vulnerable components being the fascia capping. This protective covering, which shields the fascia boards beneath, can be torn away during severe weather conditions, leaving your home exposed to the elements. In older residential structures, the underlying fascia boards naturally deteriorate and lose their structural integrity over time. Additionally, the metal screws that secure the capping gradually succumb to rust and corrosion, becoming thinner and less effective at maintaining their hold on the wooden surface.
When undertaking a fascia capping replacement project, professional contractors strongly recommend using screws that are longer than the original fasteners. This provides enhanced stability and a more secure attachment to the fascia board. In our recent repair work, we followed a systematic approach: first removing the damaged old fascia capping, then carefully custom-bending new pieces to ensure a perfect fit, and finally securing them with extended screws for maximum durability.
One of the trickiest aspects of fascia capping replacement is matching the color to the existing trim, as even slight variations can be noticeable. However, in this particular project, we were fortunate to find an exact color match, resulting in a seamless and professional-looking finish that blends perfectly with the home’s exterior.
End Result:
A happy customer and a protected fascia board from harsh weather conditions.
