Fascia Board Replacement Contractors for Queens Buildings
Fascia board replacement contractors at Foundry Roofing pull rotted fascia, repair the wood rot and rafter tails behind it, install rot-resistant new boards and rehang your gutters.
That covers houses and garages through multi-family and commercial buildings.
Rot repaired behind the board
Gutter off, gutter back on: replacement day at the roof edge
We never swap a board blind.
-
Gutter down, edge inspected
We remove the gutter and probe the board, drip edge and soffit.
-
Rot cut to sound wood
Rotted fascia comes off, and damaged rafter tails and soffit get repaired.
-
New board, drip edge reset
New fascia is fastened to solid rafter tails, and the drip edge is installed or reset.
-
Gutter rehung and sealed
The gutter rehangs on a true line, seams sealed and caulked, wood primed and painted. If the gutter itself is failing, we repair the gutter system first.
Choosing the new board: wood, cellular PVC, fiber cement or aluminum wrap
Cellular PVC is our usual pick because it absorbs almost no water.

How the work runs on your building
Houses and detached garages
Houses and detached garages are done from ladders by our fascia board replacement contractors, usually in a day or two.
Multi-family, mixed-use and commercial
Taller eaves on multi-family, apartment, mixed-use and commercial buildings get lift or scaffold access. We sequence the work so tenants keep their entrances and storefronts stay open. Long runs are replaced in sections, so no roof edge sits open overnight. Older buildings may carry a decorative cornice instead of fascia.
Before you replace your fascia
When should fascia be replaced instead of repaired?
Replace it once rot goes deeper than the surface or spreads. Small soft spots can be patched, and routine roof edge checks catch them early.
Can fascia be replaced without replacing the roof?
Yes, nearly always. Only rot that reaches the roof decking points to a roof past saving.
What should I do if the wood behind my gutter is rotted?
Have the edge opened before the next heavy rain, because that rot spreads into the rafter tails.
Which fascia material lasts longest?
Cellular PVC and fiber cement, since neither one rots.
