How to remove and replace old rotten termite infested wood fascia boards or rake rafters.

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.

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.

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.
@BobsTwoCarGarage4 жыл бұрын
Nailing down from the underlayment is not necessary just nail to the outriggers and adjoining fascia ....really, it works and stands the test of time. I've never heard of a problem with the nails working their way up. I think it will do more damage trying to remove them.

Lots of factors to determine. Usually the best approach is to replace the whole thing but patching is an option and vinyl coverings are also an option. I would not recommend replacing only a foot or two.

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!
@BobsTwoCarGarage2 жыл бұрын
Yes you’re exactly right. Barge boards are also termed “rake rafters” . If you’re out buying materials fascia would be the more common term. There is generally more of it on your house and it’s the same material

You should buy boards intended specifically for fascia. In my area it is typically spruce and it comes primed and dried. I'm not sure that is the case everywhere. I'm not familiar with the product you mentioned buy whatever you can do to discourage termites is a good idea. Be sure to caulk and paint well also.
