FAQs
Why is it important to replace fascia boards when installing new gutters?
Fascia boards are the structural backing for your gutter system; they anchor the gutter hangers and help keep water out of your roof deck. If the fascia is rotted, warped, or insect-damaged, new gutters will not sit level and can pull away from the house, leading to leaks, foundation issues, and soffit damage. Replacing compromised fascia boards at the same time as gutters ensures a solid attachment surface, maximizes the life of the new gutters, and prevents hidden moisture problems inside walls and the attic.
What fascia board materials do you recommend for homes in Cumberland Gap’s climate?
For our East Tennessee–Kentucky border climate—hot, humid summers and freeze-thaw winters—we typically recommend either (1) primed and painted #1 pine fascia with a double-coat high-performance exterior acrylic, (2) rot-resistant PVC or composite fascia boards, or (3) metal-wrapped fascia formed from aluminum coil stock. Wood remains cost-effective and visually traditional but needs periodic repainting. PVC and composite options cost more up front but won’t warp, split, or rot, reducing maintenance. Aluminum wrap can be installed over sound wood fascia to add a durable, low-maintenance skin that matches your new seamless gutters.
How can I tell if my fascia boards or gutters need replacement?
Warning signs include peeling paint or stains at the roof edge, visible rot or soft spots when probed with a screwdriver, gutters that sag or pull away, frequent clogging or overflow, and water streaks down exterior walls. Inside, look for attic moisture, mold, or daylight at the eaves. During our free on-site inspection we check moisture content of the wood, fastener pull-out, and gutter slope to determine whether repair or full replacement is the better value.
What is the typical cost and project timeline for fascia board and gutter replacement in Cumberland Gap?
Costs vary with home size, material choice, and roof height, but most single-story residences fall between $1,200 and $2,800 for full gutter replacement and $6 to $12 per linear foot for new fascia boards (material + labor). A standard 180-linear-foot job usually takes one day for tear-off and fascia installation and a second day for custom-made seamless gutter fabrication and mounting. We provide a firm, written quote after measuring and include all fasteners, sealants, downspouts, and haul-off in the price.
Do you handle disposal of the old gutters and fascia boards?
Yes. Our turnkey service includes safe removal, site-clean protection, and disposal or recycling of all debris. Aluminum gutters are separated for recycling, while rotten wood fascia is transported to an approved construction landfill. We sweep metal shavings with magnetic rollers and leave the property broom-clean so you don’t have to coordinate with additional waste haulers.
Are permits or inspections required for fascia or gutter replacements in the Cumberland Gap area?
In most of Claiborne County, simple gutter or fascia replacement on a single-family home does not require a municipal building permit. However, if the work is part of a larger roof replacement or structural eave alteration, local code enforcement may ask for documentation. Our team monitors county and city codes, obtains any necessary permits, and schedules inspections if required. All work meets the International Residential Code (IRC) and manufacturer installation guidelines, so you stay fully compliant and eligible for warranty coverage.
