Roof Fascia Go On With A New Roof

If you need to put fascia boards on your home there are easy ways to ensure that they fit correctly and are installed properly.

Roof fascia go on with a new roof.

Roof fascia boards are not structurally important for a roof but they are often essential to the overall appearance of the house. Fascia boards are found around the edges of your roof and usually support your home s rain gutter system. Nail thefurring strip to the fascia board near the fascia top tight under any extending of roof decking usually absent. Fascia boards go around the eaves of your home s roof and are typically where the gutters are attached.

Fascia cover depends on which type you are using some lie in over the top of the fascia board so cut the nails through the sheathing into the fascia board so that should be done before the reroofing then when the roofing is off those cut through nails into the fascia removed so they do not jack up through the shingles and replaced to hold the sheating down. It s just another shortcut. Over time these boards may start to rot or need to be replaced due to damage. Luckily replacing a fascia board is as easy as taking out the old board and fitting a new one in its place.

The fascia covers the gables and ends of the roof rafters and builders usually consider it part of the siding trim. I am getting a new roof and am think surfmist for fascia however not sure about gutter roof whether to go with monument woodland grey or basalt. Also i m thinking perhaps fascia should also be the same colour as roof and guttering. Measure up the rafter 45 3 4 inch from the cut end of the truss tail and snap a line along the trusses.

Not every roof has fascia all around because some roofing designs include open ended rafters. The drip edge will be installed 1 8 proud of away or out from the furring strip in best practice or may be installed tight against the furring strip reduces the life of the furring strip by rot. If you want your shingles to last longer with less damage plus have a neat look along your roof edge insist on drip edge or flashing with your new roof and gutters. Extending the ice shield or roof felt from your roof onto your fascia is no compensation for the real drip edge.

Once you measure your roof to determine what length you need cut the boards to the correct size.
