Will roofers replace fascia?

Roofers will often replace fascia when it is damaged, rotted, or when they are replacing a roof, but whether they include fascia replacement depends on their services and contract, as some roofers specialize in roofing only while others handle fascia and soffit as part of exterior trim. Many roofing contractors offer fascia replacement as additional service, especially when fascia is rotted due to gutter overflow from clogged gutters, has peeling paint, or is soft, as they can see fascia condition when tearing off old shingles and can replace it efficiently while scaffolding is up and gutters are removed, charging 6 to 20 dollars per linear foot for fascia replacement including materials and labor. Some roofing companies have carpentry crews that handle fascia, soffit, and gutter installation as part of complete roofing system. However, some roofers may not replace fascia and will recommend hiring separate trim carpenter or siding contractor who specializes in fascia and soffit, particularly for extensive rot requiring rafter repair. When getting roof replacement estimate, ask roofer if fascia inspection and replacement is included or extra, and request that they use rot-resistant materials like PVC or aluminum-wrapped wood for longer life. If roofer does not replace fascia, they can still install new drip edge over existing fascia. Ensuring fascia is in good condition supports gutters and prevents future water damage, so it is efficient to replace during roofing project.
