Gutters work
Fascia Installation
New fascia board behind the gutter, which is what the gutter actually hangs on.
What fascia installation involves
New fascia board behind the gutter, which is what the gutter actually hangs on. The part homeowners rarely see is everything underneath: the sub-fascia behind the board, the rafter tails, and how far the rot has traveled. That is where trim either holds the edge of the roof together or lets it go soft.
Jonathan walks the roofline and sounds the board before quoting anything, photographs what he finds, and shows you the pictures. You get told what it needs and what it does not, in plain language, and the number you get is the number you pay.
Read that back and it sounds like the bare minimum. It is. It is also the thing most people say they did not get from the last contractor they hired, which is why we keep saying it out loud.
How the job actually goes
You call, we look
Jonathan answers the phone. He comes out, walks the roofline, and photographs the boards that have gone soft behind the paint.
You get a real number
A written price with the scope spelled out. Nothing appears on the invoice later that was not on the quote.
We schedule around the weather
Mid-South weather moves. If it moves us, you hear about it from us before you wonder.
The work gets done right
Materials the manufacturer actually specifies, installed the way the warranty requires.
We clean up and walk it with you
Magnet over the yard, debris in the trailer, and a walkthrough so you can see what you paid for.
What actually goes wrong
These are the failures we actually find on fascia installation jobs around the metro, in the order they turn up.
Paint hides how far it went
A fascia board fails from the back, where water ran behind it. The painted face can look sound while the wood behind has gone to pulp. We sound the board along its length rather than judging it from the street, because the rot travels further than the stain does.
The sub-fascia is the real problem
Replacing the visible board while the sub-fascia behind it is soft puts new wood on a bad foundation. The rafter tails get checked at the same time. If those have gone, that is framing work and we will say so rather than trimming over it.
Butt joints and ends go first
Fascia rots where two boards meet and at the corners, because that is where end grain drinks. A run that looks fine in the middle can be gone at both ends. Those joints get sealed and primed on all sides before they go up, not just on the face.
Ask for the license and insurance paperwork and actually look at it. A certificate of insurance takes one phone call to verify, and it protects you, not them.
Ask what the warranty covers and who honors it. A manufacturer warranty on materials means nothing if the workmanship that voided it was theirs.
Ask how they handle cleanup. Debris left in a flower bed is a small thing until it is yours, and it tells you how the rest of the job was run.
None of this needs to be decided on the phone. The useful next step is having somebody walk it, photograph what is actually there, and put the findings in writing so you can think about it.
If you have had a quote already and something about it did not sit right, a second look is worth the time. Comparing two written assessments with photographs attached usually makes the answer obvious.
The assessment is free and it carries no obligation. Plenty of what we look at turns out to need less than the homeowner feared, and being told that is a perfectly good outcome.
Ask for photographs of your own property from anyone who quotes this work, including us. It is the difference between a factual conversation and a sales pitch.

Questions we get asked
How fast can you get out to look at it?
Usually within a day or two, and sooner when water is actively coming in. Jonathan does the look himself, so you are not waiting on a salesman to pass a message along to a crew.
Do you handle fascia installation on commercial buildings too?
Yes, on small commercial. Churches, restaurants, warehouses, duplexes and small apartment buildings are regular work for us. We schedule around your hours so the business keeps running.
Will you tell me if I do not actually need this?
Yes, and we do it often. Several of our best reviews came from telling somebody their roof had years left. If a repair is the honest answer instead of a replacement, that is what Jonathan will tell you.
Are you licensed and insured?
Licensed, bonded and insured, with an A+ rating from the BBB. We can send proof before we start, and you should ask that of anybody who climbs on your roof.
What does cleanup look like when you are finished?
We pick up after ourselves. Debris goes in the trailer, the yard gets run with a magnet for nails, and the landscaping gets protected while we work.
Do you offer financing?
We do, for roofing and exterior projects. It is worth asking about if the timing of the work and the timing of the money do not quite line up.
While we are out there
Most properties need more than one thing handled, and it is cheaper to do it in one trip than three.

Jonathan answers the phone himself. If he is on a roof when you call, he calls back the same day.
