Fascia is the board that runs along the edge of your roof, right behind the gutter. It holds up the gutter, supports the edge of the soffit, and closes off the ends of the rafters. Fascia repair in Melbourne, FL is one of the most common jobs we do, because Florida's rain and humidity are tough on exposed wood.
Kaiser Roofing has been repairing and replacing fascia on Brevard County homes since 1997. We replace rotted boards, correct the water problem that caused it, and finish the new fascia so it lasts.
What rots fascia
Fascia rots when it stays wet. The usual causes are gutters that overflow or are pitched wrong, missing or undersized drip edge, shingles that stop short of the edge, and paint that has failed and lets water soak into the end grain. On older homes, original fascia may simply have reached the end of its life.
Once the fascia softens, gutter screws pull out, gutters sag, and the soffit begins to drop. Water then gets into the rafter tails and the edge of the roof deck — turning a simple board replacement into a bigger repair.
Wood or aluminum-wrapped fascia
We replace rotted fascia with new lumber, then either prime and paint it or wrap it in aluminum fascia cladding. Wrapping costs a bit more up front but protects the wood from sun and water and doesn't need repainting. We'll help you decide which fits your home and budget.

Fascia Repair FAQs
Do you remove and reinstall the gutters?
Yes. When fascia behind a gutter is replaced, we take the gutter down and re-hang it, or replace it if it's damaged.
How long does fascia repair take?
Most fascia repairs on a typical home take a day or less. Larger jobs with soffit and rafter tail repair may take longer.
Can fascia be repaired without a new roof?
Yes. Fascia repair is often done on its own. If your roof is also near the end of its life, doing both at once can save on labor.
