If you understand that your fascia has collected decades of life, then a professional inspection will judge its continued effectiveness. Check out the two main signs of disrepair below so that you can quickly identify damages.

Peeling Paint

Peeling paint makes an unattractive issue that affects your residence’s curb appeal. As your fascia’s paint protects the wood against deterioration, it will also provide a sign of encroaching damage. Since rotten fascia will no longer do its intent effectively, it needs to get replaced. If nothing else, a new coat of paint for your fascia will deliver some protection and an instant improvement for your house.

Water Damage

As the years pass, fascia can become exposed to water damage from proximity to the gutters. This occurs most often when your gutters cease to perform correctly, and begin to bubble over onto the fascia. Old age, as it occurs, can additionally cause your fascia to decay.
