Fascia And Rake Trim

Fascia and rake trim are among a structure’s first lines of defense against the elements. The fascia — or the board that runs along the length of the entire roof — serves many different functions. It connects to the roof rafters, closes off the attic, and serves as the mount for gutters. From an aesthetic standpoint, it’s the part that helps your roof appear finished. More than that, however, the fascia is a critical part of your roof’s ventilation system — it helps to keep the moisture out and seals the roof from the elements.

Pinnacle Roofing is the team you can rely on to ensure that your fascia and rake trim work perfectly to give your home the ultimate curb appeal and protection. We’ll help you choose the right materials so you can enjoy all the benefits of beauty, durability, and efficiency.

Fascia and Rake Trim Repair

Without proper installation and maintenance of fascia and rake trim, your roof will suffer from several issues that include rotting wood, cracks, holes, peeling paint, damaged insulation, mold, fungus, algae, animal damage, and more! Don’t attempt to repair or replace your fascia and rake trim on your own if you see any signs of damage. Trust our roofing experts to get the job done with speed, efficiency, and unmatched quality. We’ll see to it that you get a roofing system that you’ll be proud to show off.

Fascia is the horizontal board along the lower edge of the roof that supports the gutters and closes off the attic. Rake trim runs along the sloped edges of the roof. Together they protect the roof edge from water, wind, and pests and give the roof a clean, finished look.

Common signs include sagging or loose gutters, peeling or bubbling paint at the roof edge, soft or rotted wood when you press on it, dark streaks running down the siding, visible gaps between trim and roof, or birds and squirrels getting into the eaves.

It depends on the condition. Sometimes only the damaged sections need to be replaced. If we find widespread rot, failing paint, or poor previous repairs, it may be more cost-effective and durable to replace longer runs. We explain both options and why.

Yes, and it’s often the best approach. Fascia and gutters work together. If the fascia is soft or rotten, the gutters will not hold properly. We can repair or replace the fascia and make sure your gutters are securely attached and pitched correctly.

We work with PVC or composite trim, aluminum-wrapped wood, and traditional wood. PVC and aluminum wrap are low-maintenance options that resist rot and peeling. Wood is often used on older homes or where a specific profile is needed but does require more frequent painting.

Not necessarily. Fascia and rake trim can often be repaired or replaced without doing a full roof replacement, as long as the main roof system is still in good condition. If we see roof or decking issues while we’re there, we’ll point them out and give you options.

Most small to medium fascia and rake projects can be completed in one day once scheduled. Larger homes, extensive rot repairs, or projects combined with new gutters may take longer. We’ll give you a clear timeline with your quote.

Fascia and rake trim are part of the roofing system, not just cosmetic woodwork. A roofing contractor understands how trim, shingles, underlayment, flashing, and gutters all tie together. We make sure the repair looks good and also keeps water out of your roof and attic long term.
