Fascia & Soffit Repair Explained

Fascia is the board that runs along the edge of your roofline where gutters attach. Soffit is the underside of the roof overhang. Both are vulnerable to water damage from overflowing or leaking gutters. Rotted fascia can no longer hold gutter screws, and damaged soffit allows moisture and pests into the attic and wall cavity.

Installing new gutters on rotted fascia is like putting a new roof on a damaged structure — the underlying problem will cause the new installation to fail. We assess fascia and soffit condition on every gutter job and repair damage before installing, ensuring your new gutters stay properly secured for their full lifespan.

Why It Works

  • New gutters stay properly attached to solid fascia
  • Prevents moisture and pest entry through damaged soffit
  • Improves home's exterior appearance and curb appeal
  • Stops active rot from spreading further into the structure
  • Required before new gutter installation for warranty validity
  • Aluminum-wrapped fascia option eliminates future rot permanently

How We Do It

1

Inspect Existing Fascia

We remove old gutters and inspect every inch of fascia and visible soffit for rot, moisture damage, and pest entry.

2

Remove Damaged Material

Rotted sections are removed completely — partial repairs on active rot lead to faster re-failure.

3

Install New Material

New wood fascia is installed and primed, or we install aluminum fascia wrap for a maintenance-free solution.

4

Soffit Repair

Damaged soffit panels are replaced and sealed. Pest entry points are closed before new gutters are installed.

What Does This Cost in Des Moines?

Simple fascia board replacement runs $8–$12/ft. Aluminum fascia wrap runs $12–$20/ft. Soffit panel replacement varies by damage extent. We provide full itemized quotes before any work.

FAQ

How do I know if my fascia is rotted?

Soft spots when pressed, paint that peels repeatedly, gutters that pull away from the house, and visible discoloration are all signs. We check every home on every gutter estimate.

Can I install new gutters on rotted fascia?

Technically yes, but they'll fail quickly — screws won't hold in rotted wood, and gutters will pull away under the weight of water and ice. We won't install new gutters on fascia that needs replacement.

Is aluminum fascia wrap worth the extra cost?

Yes, in most cases — aluminum wrap is maintenance-free and effectively eliminates future rot on that surface. Over a 20–30 year horizon, it's more economical than repainting wood fascia every 5–7 years.

Do you match existing fascia color?

For wood fascia, we prime and paint to match your existing trim. For aluminum wrap, we offer a wide range of colors to complement or match your home's exterior.
