FAQs
What are fascia boards and why are they important to my roof and gutter system?
The fascia is the horizontal board fixed to the edge of your roof rafters. It holds the bottom row of shingles in place, supports the gutter, and seals the roof edge from moisture and pests. In Loudon’s four-season climate—where summer storms, winter snow loads, and wind are common—sound fascia boards keep water out of your attic and prevent gutters from sagging or detaching.
How can I tell if my fascia boards or gutters need replacement?
Warning signs include peeling paint, wood rot, mold, soft or crumbling spots, gutters pulling away from the roofline, overflowing water, and interior leaks near exterior walls. In Loudon, freeze-thaw cycles often worsen small cracks, so annual visual inspections—especially after heavy rain or snow—are recommended. If you notice daylight behind gutters or see fascia that flexes when pressed, replacement is usually the safest option.
What fascia and gutter materials do you install in Loudon, and which is best for my home?
We offer primed pine, cedar, PVC, and aluminum-wrapped wood fascia boards, paired with aluminum or copper K-style and half-round gutters. PVC and aluminum-wrapped wood are the most popular in Loudon because they resist rot, insects, and the region’s humidity. Cedar is chosen for historic homes seeking a natural look, while copper gutters suit premium, low-maintenance projects. After a site visit, we’ll recommend the material that balances durability, aesthetics, and budget.
Can you replace fascia boards and gutters at the same time, and how long does it take?
Yes. Replacing them together prevents mismatched components, ensures a watertight seal, and saves labor costs. For an average single-story home in Loudon, most projects take 1–2 days, weather permitting. Larger or multi-story properties may take 3–4 days. We remove old gutters, repair or replace damaged rafter tails, install new fascia, wrap or paint as needed, and then hang the new gutters with proper pitch and downspout placement.
Will new fascia boards and gutters help with ice dams, energy efficiency, or pest problems?
Properly sealed, vented fascia and well-pitched gutters reduce ice dam formation by channeling meltwater away from the roof edge. This lessens heat loss through soaked insulation and can trim energy bills. New fascia also closes gaps that mice, squirrels, and insects use to enter attics, and modern gutters with perforated guards keep leaves out—minimizing clogs that attract pests and cause overflow damage.
Do I need a permit for fascia or gutter replacement in Loudon, and how much will it cost?
Loudon’s building department typically waives permits for like-for-like gutter swaps but may require one if structural fascia repairs exceed 25 sq ft or involve altering roof framing. We handle all permit paperwork when it’s needed. Costs vary by material and house size: replacing wood fascia and 5-inch aluminum gutters on a 150-linear-foot ranch home averages $2,700–$3,600, while PVC fascia with 6-inch copper gutters can exceed $7,000.
