What Does Rotten Wood Repair Include?
Benefits
Benefits of Fascia Repair
Secure Gutter Mounting
New gutters need solid wood to attach to. Rotted fascia means loose, sagging gutters that won't last.
Prevents Further Damage
Wood rot spreads. Replacing damaged sections now prevents it from spreading to rafters and roof structure.
Improves Appearance
Fresh fascia boards look better than water-stained, peeling, or visibly rotted wood on your home's exterior.
Stops Water Intrusion
Damaged fascia creates gaps that let water into your roof structure. Repair seals your home's building envelope.
Protects Your Investment
Installing new gutters on rotted wood is a waste of money. Fix the foundation first for lasting results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about rotten wood repair in Huntsville, AL
Fascia repair typically costs $5-15 per linear foot in Huntsville, depending on the extent of damage, wood type, and accessibility. Most homes need 10-40 feet of fascia replaced. We'll provide an exact quote after inspecting your specific situation — there are no surprises when the bill comes.
Signs of fascia damage include: paint peeling or bubbling, soft or spongy wood when pressed, visible dark staining or discoloration, gutters pulling away from the house, or gaps between fascia and soffit. We inspect fascia as part of every gutter estimate — many homeowners don't know they have damage until we point it out.
Yes! If your gutters are in good condition, we can carefully remove them, repair the fascia underneath, and reinstall. However, this often costs nearly as much as new gutters since we're handling them twice. It may make sense to upgrade while we're already doing the work.
Usually, it's water damage from clogged or overflowing gutters. Water runs behind the gutter, soaks into the fascia board, and eventually causes rot. Huntsville's high humidity accelerates the process dramatically — wood that might last years in a dry climate can rot in months here. Fixing the drainage problem is essential to prevent future damage.
Yes. If water damage has spread from fascia to soffit (the underside of your roof overhang), we can repair or replace both. Comprehensive repair ensures your entire roof edge is fully protected from water intrusion.
