| The edge of this roof including
the fascia board looks pretty beat up and will need to be repaired.
Before you repair anything, including the fascia board, you will need to
know what caused the damage.
Find the damage before you repair the fascia
board, otherwise you could find yourself replacing the fascia board in
the future, again.
The fascia damage could have been caused by a few things. But the main
thing I would like to focus on, is the damage at the edge of the roof.
This tells me that the problem is at the bottom of the roofing
materials.
Water is somehow leaking in between damaged roof shingles or is rolling
underneath the last shingle and onto the wood fascia board, causing the
damage. With enough time, this is what your fascia board can look like.
Somehow the water that is rolling off of the roof, isn't draining off
properly and this is usually a roofing problem.
If there are any gap's or cracks on the roof or if the
roofing wasn't installed properly, the fascia board, along with the roof
sheeting and rafters, could start to suffer as water starts to soak into
the wood.
Home Repair Tip: If you don't know enough about roofing, I wouldn't
bother trying to repair this on your own. I would hire a roofing
contractor or another building professional who understands and can
repair problems like these.
Water damage like this can become costly if not repaired properly or as
soon as possible.
