Nice video, tks! When I do that job I do all the cutting on the ground. I prime the entire fascia board with PGP Gripper paint (it used to be Glidden Gripper - a GREAT primer). Do 2 coats - let each coat fully dry. Then paint the entire board with 2 coats of top-quality exterior paint again wait for each coat to fully dry before applying a second coat. Then coat the entire bottom of the fascia board with a good coat of white or clear paintable caulk. This will help fight against hanging water droplets - use a glove-coated hand. Before nailing take the fascia board to the actual nailing location and carefully mark exactly where all the nail holes will be. Pre-drill the nail holes into the new fascia board so nailing goes smooth up there. All that is a lot more work but the result is worth it to me thinking who wants to do that job more than once. Should last forever. Remember the drip edging is berry important key. Regarding the ladder's proper angle position - stand facing a mounted ladder with your toe touching the base of the ladder leg extend your hands out to the ladder you want your hand-grip to be in the position to fully comfortably grasp a rung of the ladder. If they do not then adjust the ladder's angle until they do. For extra safety (not necessary) you can put 45-degree cut 4x4's or 6x6's at the base of the ladder legs with the sharp end at the legs to help prevent a ladder kick out. And you can drill holes in the 4x4's and drive a steel rod through those holes into the ground but do not leave the steel exposed in case of someone steps or falls there.

Good stuff old man. That proverb was a nice tuch.

I'm a retired carpenter and still learning from you guys. Thank you.

Thank you for taking the time to post this instructional video! Getting ready to help a friend with her 100-year old house. Appreciate being able to see what to expect and what tools we need to bring to get the job done without running to the hardware store 15 times.

That's last advice was the best part ....other info was great too but I got more than expected. Thank you

I saw many videos of repairs diferents proyect but this one was incredible. Thank you for share your knowledge.

Patience is a the most important safety tip. Developing an attitude of ease and you’ll enjoy the projects and you’ll have the time to reflect on how to do the work safely.

Roofer here. I bought a little Fein MultiMaster back in 2011. NEVER been sorry I bought that little thing. Nice work BTW!

" Better is a patient man than a warrior one, will self-control that one who takes a city" very powerful. Thank you a lot for your advice and video.

The best part was you sharing scripture with us. Great tips also!

Good video. The job is hard. Took me a few days. I used framing brackets to help with the install. I’m not as good with a skill saw.

Thanks for taking the time to make this helpful video. I saved me a good bit of money.

Thanks for the tips, Bob! About to replace a bunch of cedar fascia boards up here in Canada (Vancouver Island.)

Looks like I may not tackle the job myself as it is pretty dangerous on a second level, yet watching this vid is good stuff knowing what needs to be done. Tq.

Helpful. Not many videos on fascia/rake board repair/installation out there. Thanks for taking the time to do this. Mine is 2nd floor, over partial shingled roof with pitch ladder work and i dont like working with ladders on a roof.

Super helpful, Bob! Exactly the direction I needed to work through my repairs. And the quote at the end hit a chord. Very well put. Thank you and keep ‘em coming!

Fantastic video and helpful. Nicely presented. Thanks Bob.

Nice presentation. The "V" splice is brilliant.

Thanks Bob for that video. You really did nail it on the head for step by step. I appreciate your time you gave to making this video. that was cool how you pointed to the outriggers behind you perfectly!

great job! love the long V cut to connect the 2 boards seamlessly

None of the fascia replacement videos stress treating and finishing the new boards on the ground prior to installing them. In California where termites and dry rot are prevelant, I cut/fit my pieces, then coat with copper green to prevent rot and termites, then prime [must use oil-base primer with copper green] I give it one finish coat on all sides prior to install, then another on the visible area after install. I use coated deck screws, not nails. Sometimes I must add or fake outriggers so I have something to attached to. Again, I treat the outriggers as above and fasten with coated screws.

Bro. You are the most valuable tool around.

Helped me alot didnt even know until this vidoe got this problem

Great video. I'm in freezing cold Scotland, so I guess I'll need to adjust things slightly! For one, everything's covered in tarred roofing felt!

Thanks for the tutorial and ending your video with wisdom. Your setup and pointing were spot on too - really helpful and fantastic work : )

Thanks for the proverb. Needed that.

Loved your video but I couldn't stop laughing at the helpful neighbors safety sandal, overall good video and hella good angles

I like the helper dude on the roof working in sandals. That's totally me

Thanks for sharing. I'll be replacing mine this week.

Thanks Bob! Have to look into some rotten facia on my house in Florida and needed the advice. Appreciate the video

Great job with details and info! Straight to the point and informative!

I replaced a section on one of our houses but used the new PVC board. More expensive but won't rot out. Has a smooth and wood look side.

You did a great job and explained it well. Thank You!

Very thorough. Youve got a new subscriber Bob

Just what I was looking for! Very well done. Thank you!

Thank you for being helpful for others, God bless you

Thanks Bob, I appreciate you.

@ 2:00 Walter White makes a cameo appearance..."I think my little multi-tool is gonna work great for cutting nails".

Really enjoyed this. Great delivery. Can't send that neighbour Down Under can you? He's useful.

Good information . Liked your video.

Thank you for the information and tips.

You did a great job, thanks for the video... keep them coming pops!

hey Bob how did you nail the rafter from the top if the shingles are there ?

Thank you. Loved the Scripture you shared!

Nice video thanks I appreciate it, I'm actually doing that tomorrow and a never done it before so your video is very helpful

first vid i've seen that addresses the nails thru the drip edge!

..............thank you for your VIDEO, and your encouragement.

Right on, thanks for the proverb!

Thank you for so much info helped a lot

You do a great job

Very useful indeed

Thanks Bob. You are the man ...

Great job and detailed information

Very clean and Nice job

Ty mine is rotted this helped!

Very good and informative. I took a photo of the Proverbs and plan to share it on Facebook. All of life is a test. I realized long ago not to pray for patience, LOL......but to heed this and All scriptures. Thank you Lord. ✝️ BTW, I hope you treated for those little buggers before you sealed it back up. 😳

James Hardi - Siding, siding panels, siding trim, FASCIA!!!!!

Hey Bob it looks great! BTW thanks for making this video, I'll use the knowledge to tackle my rotten dormers over here in north Atlanta. I subbed BTW.

You are kind of a badass Sir 😎.

Great video!

Great video !!! You sound like John Wayne !!!

How did you nail the facia to the roof underlayment without damaging the shingles? Also, I"m told the vertical nails that were cut need to removed because with time they will work themselves loose and perforate the shingles.

You can always just cut a straight line as well and connect them both to a rafter then bondo the seam, v's can be hard to make for some people

The bible text was an extra bonus. Thanks.

Love the basic essentials taught in the video. Dislike a scripture being used for construction, as the passage in the Bible in context, is referring to something far different. Thanks for the video none the less.

Thanks for the tips!

Definitely one of the hardest jobs I've ever done, of course I had no way to cut half of the nails as I had to remove the boards without removing or damaging the drip edge. But good job here

Thank you 👍

I have the same problem with the edge of my fascia. But it’s only at the edge where the Fascia meets the gutter. Can I just remove the rotten part? The rot is about one foot. Thank you! Great video

Isn’’t the edge metal flashing nailed to the fascia board? How do you nail the flashing from the top once the fascia board is installed?

Try AZEK PVC Trimboards.

Close your eyes, and Walter White is teaching you how to replace fascia.

I like working with the old timers they no what there doing unlike these young punks now I'm taking my equipment back

Amen brother

Great vid bro

thank you for this! very helfpul

What about the flashing isn't that nailed to the top of the fascia and covered with shingles?

Great video; great bible verse; thanks for that; good luck in S. California too; !!!!!!

Amen!

Working in a spinal and head injury rehab hospital has ruined any chance of me climbing up a ladder to save money. Good job though!

Hi. I'm learning about roofing a bit to deal with some repairs I need to pay for and I'm just wanting to clarify some vocab.... This is actually a bargeboard and not fascia no? I am trying to be clear about their difference so I can discuss my repairs with my roofer. My understanding is that the bargeboard is the angled parts that make the triangles at the end of the houses or in the dormers etc, and the fascia is horizontal and is parallel with your straight across gutters. Thank you!

How were you able to replace the boards without bending the flashing like I did when I replaced mine?

The proverb alone was worth the watch.

Can you please tell how you repaired and water sealed the rafter sticking out of the peak of the roof ? It looked pretty beat up

A very helpful video just a quick question how did you get the angle you did in minute 4. how do you do those corners

great job.

Bob: you cut through the nails that connected the old facia board to the roof sheath, but did you nail the new facia to the roof sheath? In other words, how is the new facia attached to the roof?

Great job man! Thanks for sharing!

Awesome man, thanks 👍

I see you nail to the out-rigger, but did you add nail from the top thru the roof decking? I didn't see you take off roofing tiles to nail thru the decking?

Never knew rafter tails were called "outriggers." Good to know.

I have termite damaged facia and other areas. What kind of wood do you recommend - treated wood, red wood etc? Depending on what kind, I plan to treat all wood with Bora-Care to prevent termites.

SO I'm replacing the rake board, but there are no barge boards (or outriggers). I'm at a loss for something to nail to and considering using pocket holes. Anyone have an thoughts as to whether that would be ok?

Great video. Sorry if I missed this, but what was the purpose of making the v-cut to spice the two pieces together versus just a straight line?

Nice job thanks for making this vidz its verry helpful

Great Video!

I assume there is no way to re-attach the starter strip/roof felt without making a real mess of the roofing?

The Indiana Jones of handymen!

can you put hardie plank behind the gutters

Good neighbors usually work for beer.
