Early warning signs
- Peeling or bubbled paint on fascia boards
- Gutter screws pulling out or gutters tilting away from the house
- Dark streaks or mold on soffit vents
- Squirrel or bird access holes in soffit panels
- Ice dam stains on exterior walls below the eave
Why it happens in NH
Overflowing gutters in spring and ice dams in winter keep the roof edge wet longer than it should be.
Capped fascia without proper drip edge or missing kick-out flashing at roof-to-wall joints accelerates rot on older homes.
Fix it with the system in mind
Replacing fascia without addressing gutter pitch, drip edge, or attic ventilation treats a symptom.
A good scope names which boards are replaced, whether soffit vents are added or cleared, and how the gutter will be re-hung.
