Wood Repair — Fascia, Soffit, and Drip Edge on the CT Shoreline
Gutter systems attach to wood. When that wood rots — from years of overflow, improper installation, ice dam damage, or coastal moisture — gutters cannot be properly installed or maintained. CT GutterPro repairs fascia boards, soffit panels, and drip edge as part of a complete roofline restoration.
Why Fascia and Soffit Matter
Fascia is the vertical board behind the gutter — the primary mounting surface. Soffit covers the underside of the roof overhang and provides attic ventilation. Drip edge directs water from the roof deck into the gutter.
Our Scope of Work
We work exclusively at the roofline: fascia, soffit, and drip edge. We remove the gutter, do the wood work, and reinstall the gutter on the new solid surface. One crew, one visit, complete solution.
Fascia damage often surfaces during gutter cleaning or gutter repair visits. When we find rot, we handle the wood repair and coordinate gutter installation of the new system on the restored surface — one crew, one project, no gaps.
Fascia Repair Cost
Spot repair: $500 to $1,500. Full side replacement: $2,000 to $5,000. Aluminum fascia wrap available for permanent moisture protection.
Signs Your Fascia Needs Attention
Peeling paint behind the gutter line, soft or spongy wood, gutters sagging or pulling away, visible gaps between soffit panels, animal activity at the roofline, water stains below the roofline.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my fascia needs repair?
Look for peeling or flaking paint behind the gutter line, soft or spongy wood when pressed with a finger, gutters sagging or pulling away from the house, visible gaps or discoloration, and water stains on the wall below the roofline. If your gutters are sagging, the fascia behind them is often the root cause.
How much does fascia repair cost in Connecticut?
Spot repair for localized rot typically costs $500 to $1,500. Full side replacement where fascia has failed along an entire roofline runs $2,000 to $5,000 depending on length and material. We match material and paint to blend with your existing roofline.
What is aluminum fascia wrap?
Aluminum fascia wrap is a thin aluminum covering installed over the wood fascia board. It provides permanent moisture protection, eliminates the need for painting, and prevents future rot. It is a premium upgrade that makes sense for homeowners who want to protect new fascia from the conditions that damaged the old fascia.
Do you replace soffit panels?
Yes. We repair and replace damaged soffit panels to restore proper attic ventilation and seal entry points for insects and animals. Vented soffit is critical for roof longevity and ice dam prevention in Connecticut.
Why should a gutter company handle fascia repair instead of a carpenter?
Because the gutter and the fascia are connected. When fascia rots, it is almost always caused by gutter overflow or improper drainage at the roofline. We remove the gutter, replace the fascia, correct the gutter issue that caused the damage, and reinstall the gutter on a solid surface. A carpenter can replace the wood, but they cannot diagnose or fix the gutter issue that will rot the new fascia.
