Fascia & Bargeboard Replacement in Vancouver, WA & Portland, OR
The boards that frame your roofline take a beating in the Northwest. When fascia or bargeboards rot, gutters pull loose, roof edges lose support, and pests find a way in. We replace rotted and damaged fascia and bargeboards around the roofline.
Fascia vs. bargeboard
Fascia is the horizontal board along the eaves, fastened to the ends of the rafters or trusses. It’s what your gutters hang from. Bargeboards (also called rake boards or barge rafters) run along the sloped gable ends of the roof. Together they finish the roof edge and protect the framing behind them.
Both are exposed to the weather, and most rot starts with water: gutters that overflow, missing drip edge that lets water wick behind the gutter, peeling paint, or moss and debris holding moisture against the wood. Replacement means removing the gutters where needed, cutting out the rotted boards, checking the framing behind them, installing new boards and drip edge, and rehanging or replacing the gutters.
Hidden damage
What’s behind the fascia
When fascia has been rotting for a while, the damage often doesn’t stop at the board. The rafter tails or truss ends behind it, and the edge of the roof decking, can be soft too. Those are checked as soon as the old boards come off.
Minor damage at the roof edge is repaired as part of the job. If framing needs structural repair, we handle truss and rafter repairs, working with a structural engineer when the repair calls for it.
Warning signs
Signs your fascia or bargeboards need replacing
Not sure what you’re looking at? Photos from the ground with a zoom lens or from inside the attic are a safe way to check. Please don’t climb onto a wet or steep roof.
- Soft, crumbling, or split wood along the roofline
- Peeling or blistered paint that keeps coming back
- Gutters sagging or pulling away from the house
- Gaps where birds, squirrels, or insects are getting in
- A wavy or sagging gable edge
- Dark staining or moss on the boards below the gutters

The roof as a system
Your roofline, piece by piece
Fascia
The board along the eaves that caps the rafter or truss ends and supports the gutters.
Bargeboards
Boards along the sloped gable edges that finish the roof edge and cover the end framing.
Drip edge
Metal at the roof edge that directs water into the gutter and keeps it off the fascia.
Rafter tails
The ends of the roof framing behind the fascia. Rot here needs repair before new boards go on.
Gutters
Gutters hang from the fascia, so solid boards and correct drip edge keep them secure and draining.
Process
How fascia replacement works
Inspect the roofline
Fascia, bargeboards, gutters, and the roof edge are checked for rot and its cause.
Estimate
You review which boards are being replaced and whether gutters will be rehung or replaced.
Remove and assess
Gutters and rotted boards come off, and the framing behind them is checked.
Replace
New fascia and bargeboards are installed along with drip edge.
Rehang gutters
Gutters are rehung or new seamless gutters are installed with correct slope.
Cost factors
What affects the cost of fascia replacement
Fascia repairs are often combined with a roof or gutter replacement, which can reduce duplicated work.
- Length of fascia and bargeboard to replace
- Height of the home and access
- Gutter removal and rehanging, or new gutters
- Hidden rot in rafter tails or roof decking
- Board size and trim details
- Finish painting, if included

FAQ
Fascia & Bargeboard Replacement questions
What’s the difference between fascia and bargeboard?
Fascia runs horizontally along the eaves where gutters hang. Bargeboards run along the sloped edges of gable ends. Both cap and protect the roof framing.
Why does my fascia keep rotting?
Usually because water keeps reaching it — overflowing or leaking gutters, missing drip edge, or paint that has failed. Fixing the cause is part of the repair so new boards last.
Can fascia be replaced without new gutters?
Yes. Existing gutters can be removed and rehung if they’re in good shape. If they’re old or leaking, it’s a good time to switch to seamless gutters.
Should I replace fascia during a roof replacement?
If it’s damaged, yes. The roof edge and drip edge are already being redone, so replacing fascia and bargeboards at the same time avoids extra work later.
