Rotten Wood Repair in Athens, AL

Fascia repair runs $8-15 per linear foot in Athens, depending on damage extent, wood type, and accessibility. Most homes need 10-40 feet replaced — usually isolated sections, not the whole house. Athens' older housing stock sometimes requires more extensive work. We quote exact prices after inspection, no surprises.

Signs: paint peeling or bubbling, soft or spongy wood when pressed, visible dark staining, gutters pulling away from house, gaps between fascia and soffit. We inspect fascia on every gutter estimate — many Athens homeowners don't know they have damage until we show them. Sometimes it looks fine from the ground but is soft when you actually touch it.

Athens' established neighborhoods have homes 40, 60, even 80+ years old. That's decades of Alabama humidity, rainfall, and temperature extremes wearing on wood. When original gutters started failing years ago, water began running behind them into the fascia. By now, many have significant hidden damage.

Yes — if your gutters are in good shape. We remove them carefully, repair fascia, and reinstall. Fair warning: the labor to remove and reinstall costs nearly as much as new gutters. For Athens' older homes with aging systems, replacing everything at once usually makes more sense.

Yes. If water damage has spread from fascia to soffit, we repair or replace both. Comprehensive work ensures your entire roof edge is protected — especially important on Athens' older homes where damage may have spread over years.
