One of the best informational and instructional video for soffit and fascia in old house. I called so many people to repair a rotten wood of this soffit in the corner exactly like this in the video and everybody just wants to replace the whole thing with vinyl or aluminum So I guess I know now what’s beyond that rotten wood after watching this video so will call a handyman to do the job or May be try on my own 😊. Thanks a lot for this video I am trying to fix a 1960’s house

Thank you. I love that you repeat “Fascia, Sofit, Fascia, Soffit”. I also love that you show fixing 1 x 8 with the sliver of wood. The “Safety glasses not safety glasses” are awesome. Show me how you made the cuts on the end piece that was 7.5 “ on one side and 8” on the other side.. Love the “NOT RAPToR” too. These things are important! Thanks for showing us the tools and telling us the names of them.

Thank you Sheila! If you take a rectangular board, measure one side 7.5, make a mark, then measure the other side 8" then make a mark. Draw a line with a straight edge between the two marks, you'll have an angled cut to make.

It's wrong though. That's GUTTER and Soffit. Fascia was the rotten white piece from the start. Incorrect terminology. Gutters are gutters. Fascia board is fascia board. Downspouts are downspouts. There is also metal "fascia" on the rakes of most garage. It is the trim along windows, doors, and projecting eaves. Items that are considered fascia would be things like window wraps and casings. Gutters are not fascia. It's an entirely different trade.

Great video! Seriously I just bought a house that all 4 corners of the house the facia is starting to rot and on one corner the soffit is also rotting. I need to repair it befor it becomes a big problem and I have been watching some videos to try and help get a better understanding and by far ur video is the best I have seen so far!

Great video, I have come back to it to watch it again. But, working alone, I am trying to figure out how to get the gutter out of the way in the outside corner I need to work on, without damaging the gutter. For the fascia repair behind the gutter, you only needed to remove a small bottom edge of the fascia. Mine is rotted almost up to the top edge. I wish you had a video showing such a repair, which seems to me will require removal of the gutter.

One of my favorite products for iffy wood is Minwax Wood hardener. It's a liquid you brush or pour on that soaks into porous wood instanttly but hardens as resin is dissolved in it. Fairly water proof too since it's resin but will harden even particle board like a rock if you use enough. Adams Rock hard putty is another fave.

I think I would have taken that one length of guttering down and replaced that part of the fascia board behind it. I would have also replaced the wood with pressure treated or Hardie fascia, so it would never rot again. My area has a lot of carpenter bees that drill into soft pine, so I replace all soft pine with material that they can't drill into.

@thegatekeeper715 7 ай бұрын
Yes good suggestions as it is probably the gutter and/ or downspout that is the source of the leaking water that caused the rot. It could also have been the roof edge drip flashing. So determining the source of the rot and fixing that before replacing the rotten wood makes a lot of sense and will save more work over the years to replace continually rotting wood at that location.

I might suggest going out when it rains and see what the rain does coming off the roof. Roofs (is that a word?) need a well functioning drip edge under the edge of the shingles. The rain should run off the shingles and down the fascia. If the drip edge is not working properly, the water will run off the shingles, turn downward, then run back and sneak in above the fascia. If water gets inside, continuous water damage. Good luck!
