My soffit is going to end up flush with my bay door. Can I nail my f channel "upside down" from the way yours is? I hope I can.
Thanks.
Hey on the last part where the bird box is wrapped and the fascia is I stalled, what is that strip on the top of the fascia on the back side of the bird box? It looks Like the facia is tucked under something
Great job, thank you for taking the time to explain your work.
I am a do it yourselfer and love the way this guy explains how to do a job correctly but also reminds you of the hazards of doing things wrong. I've watched many vids in which the guy turns out to be a bonehead. Not this guy, He's bang on.
Thanks Perry! I’m glad you appreciate my content. Thanks for watching!
Great video Josh. I’ve always wanted to install this type of Dacia/soffit. I do have one question, how do you know if you need a vented soffit or a non vented soffit? Thank you
Great idea with the soffit jig. One improvement could be adding a measuring tape from the cut line to the outside, so you wouldn’t need to spend the time measuring and marking for every cut. Repeatable and fast!
Hi TJ! Thanks for watching and the compliment on the jig. I actually made a How To Cut Soffit video where I show the jig in detail and I said the same thing! Good thinking friend!
What brand is the soffit material… Home Depot seems to be clueless about F channel… They have a product that looks similar in PVC but not the aluminum and all they seem to know about is J trim not S channel… Just trying to figure out where to buy it???anyone ?
I get most of my material from ABC Building Supply. The brand is Certainteed. I hope that helps!
I haven't done this for a long time, it is a good refresher as to how it goes on. Many thanks for having this video.🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Thanks for watching David! I’m glad I could help. Stay tuned for more!!
Very educational. Nice jig/fixture @22:20. I used to make jigs, tool & die, etc.
We are having fiber cement Hardie siding on our new build (which I know is quite different) - any experience or tips there?
I heard a duck @20:36. ;-)
Thanks Zarrah! Jigs are such a huge time saver. I have never done Hardie board so I can’t give advice on that. I heard the quack too 😆
I use same gig but make it slightly longer. I add tempory stop with couple screws so I don’t need to measure each one. Goes twice as fast and more accurate
Where do you recommend looking for the metal fascia for 2 x 6? I'm having trouble locating it locally and none of the big box stores have any in stock?
ABC building supply would be the best place to check. I don’t know if the big box stores will have any or not.
@@TheExcellentLaborer I really appreciate your time. I'll check them out. I'll have to send you some pics of what I've built and a couple beers with all the help your channel has provided.
Good day .. nice work , my bird box metal and all my fascias are all custom bent. Prefer to have bend at transition to rake soffit to add support to bottom piece of rake soffit. 2) instead of nailing drip edge face ( which imo is a no no) back caulk fascia with dabs, and gently embed each piece of fascia into caulk (OSi) quad or something flexible.. fascia will never come off, fixated nailing along drip edge and into drip edge can cause buckle, plus, nails remove smooth appearance of drip edge

I am about to install soffit and fascia - this is how I found your channel. Thank you for the infos!! You do beautiful work
Thank you for your videos, they're very helpful and easy to understand! I didn't see this covered anywhere, but for 7/16" thick soffit, would I use F channel with a 5/8" or 3/4" channel? Thank you!
Nice job brother, perfect instructions for this job.
YOU ARE AWESOME. THANKS FOR SAVING ME DOLLARS AND INCREASING MY CONFIDENCE EXPONENTIALLY
Thanks for watching! I’m so glad I could help you save money. Stay tune for more!
Why dont you 90 your J against your bird boxes? Personally I like to rivet all my overlaps for corners ect. Cheap tool that makes a big difference and sets your work apart from others.
What's the point of having the soffit with ventilation holes on the gable end if it doesn't open into the attic? Just to match the rest of the house?
Can you post the part where you made up the difference between the fascia and sub fascia . Like the 1” gap that was left there. Where the take meets the bird box, I’m running into that particular issue.
Thanks Josh great video! We here in Southern Alberta do not get the luxury of “F” channel, we framers must install soffit backing (2x2) cause of WIND! Then “J”channel is used.
Take care.
Oh well you must have some extreme wind. F channel works like a breeze around here. My dad still does the blocking when he builds. Thanks for watching!
Assuming you do that to nail it off on both sides, how do you conceal the interior nailing flange? Or is that left exposed?
I can't seem to find the section where you installed the little piece of fascia to fill the height of the bird box on the gable end. I guess it's simple enough but is there anything people should know about that?
The best instructional.
How would you attach the channel to the block wall?
Should it be an F channel or J channel nailed to the wood plank that is screwed to the wall?
Thank you!
Nice detailed tutorial with some great tips and video work thanks for sharing.
You are welcome. Thanks for watching!
This gives me confidence to tackle a repair job in this area on my house. Thank you.
Good luck with your project!
And you nailed drip edge but the other video you said not too for when you replace roof. Just curious why you did 2 different ways . Thanks
I see your doing the soffit and fascia before the siding. Is this the correct order?
Yes it’s the correct order. In fact if you install the F channel 1st then you could install either one first. Hope that helps!
@@TheExcellentLaborer this makes sense to me. Otherwise it seems difficult to have to cut around batts or shakes or lap.
Good video. Too many commercials though.
Thanks a lot for watching. Stay tuned!
Why did you bend that piece twice but your other fascia video only has 1 bend and then a long piece with a 1" bent over ?
Really helpful video. Thank you EL
I like your method. Looks sharp and I feel like I can do it on my house. Thanks 🙏🏻
You definitely could. Anybody with a little bit of willpower and construction background can do it. Thanks for watching!
one question bro, how many boxes of Siding are 18 Squares?
Every body does them different first I use flat metal stock also when I do my bird mouth I don't let go all that way down that fascia all you got to do is wrap the corner fascia stock will cover it and back side birds mouth I bend metal up on to rake so you see white then run rake over hang another thing ish I drill my nail holes just a hair over the wire nail metal moves when it heat up content winks then when I nail I never hit metal always stop just short of metal and if you don't feel comfortable just use you vinyl punch
Sounds like that will work!
Looking for help on installing soffit and fascia on my new poach and I came across this channel and he explained it so good step by step. Awesome!!!! So I subscribe d! Now I am all ways watching different videos love it!!!
Hey William! You can definitely get it by doing the method I share this video with minimal tools. Thank you for your support. Good luck with your project!
Josh I apologize for so many questions. I'm gonna ask you and another so if you cannot answer I understand.
Have you any opinions or any experiences with lp smart side cut to order slotted wood soffits ? I have to try to find what's best & easiest for me to install possibly alone. I have no vinyl on house anyhow.
I have never used that product. I have always used vinyl. Ask as many questions as you want!
Great video tutorial. I have enjoyed them all! I've watched all of your videos and I've learned enough that I feel pretty confident now that I can tackle my DIY project. Building rake and eave ladders, bird box and installing vinyl fascia and soffit. Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge and willingness to teach others.
Thank you, Fred! I try to keep everything very informative so people can get the most help out of my videos. I’m glad you stopped by to let me know in the comments. Good luck with your project!
Why wouldnt u put channel on the bird box to put the soffit in and than rap around with fascia
Great video it helped us a lot on our project house, I can’t find the soffit vent you used though, is there a manufacturer or supplier name for it? Thanks
Hey Martin! are use ABC Building Supply company for my vinyl siding products. I believe the manufacturer was Certainteed. Hope that helps!
how about the tough stuff like an inside 90 facia joint? or a bay roof or coupala
Does this only work with vinyl siding? If I were going with Hardie siding, what materials would I use for soffit and fascia?
I have never used it with Hardie siding but I don’t see why not. I have never installed Hardie siding.
Esta bueno el video, buena técnica
Saludos amigo desde Chile
great vid man ... gonna sit back and watch this channel blow up and once you get all the monetized $ from the channel ... i wanna design some merch hahahaha
Hey man come up with a design and email it to me and I might just use it! I just got the merch shelf activated but have not designed the merch yet!
The best video on facial instructions, thank you very much sir & I just subscribed to your channel, keep up the good work
I’m so glad you like my video. Thanks a lot for watching and the comment! I will be uploading more so stay tuned!
Thanks for the vid. I'm doing a temporary fix on an epdm roof with a lot of fascia/sheathing rot from bad water penetration around the edges until I feel ready to install a metal roof. It seems to me I can do this as a separate project without having to remove anything again when I do the roof.
This is a fantastic video. I think I want to try this on my small roof which is not high. Are the products expensive?
Thank you. They are not super expensive but still cost money. You will have to price them at your local building supply store.
Did you think this video was too long?
No
Not at all
Oh ok. Thanks!
Ok thanks!
No
Iv cut plenty if soffit with a battery saw. I'm deaf now too
It is very loud. I always use your protection. Thanks for watching!
Great video. Learned how to install facial around the bird box Thanks
Thank you Sean! Stay tuned for more!!
I'm about to redo my facial boards and redo them. I love the metal fascia and will never rust. Thank you
Thanks for watching. Good luck on your project!
how do you keep the facia for oil canning? i can not keep it from buckling
Installing it like you see in this video is the best way to keep it from doing that.
And now the appraisal is tanked with that vinyl soffit
Thanks! I learned how to correctly install soffit and fascia and appreciate your quality work. The fascia in my brand new Ivory home is falling off, looks like they didn't follow the instructions - Don't buy an Ivory home.
I really love your videos, always helpful.
I can't find any aluminum nails in both local hardware.
They tell me to use hot galvanized roofing nails...
Would this be a mistake? Should I try another store ( Home Depot or Lowes might have them ?)
Boy i wish i had found your channel last year! I am building my own house as well. Have questions regarding soffits. I had planned on using t&g pine and loosely place them under my overhangs. (To allow for air flow). Do you see any problems with this? I can sent pics.
I'm sure this is a dumb question, but is it possible to run the sofit vinyl the other direction to eliminate so much cutting/measuring/etc? I'm sure there's a good reason I don't know. Thanks for the channel, loving the videos!!
You cannot run the sofit in the other direction. You cannot secure it that way. Thanks for watching my channel!
I actually don't think it's a dumb question. The particular soffit he was using clearly can only be nailed when oriented in one way, but I agree it seems like an obvious optimization if they just manufactured a type of soffit where the nailing flange ran length-wise and so you could do an entire side of a house (or up to the length of your material) in one go. I feel like such a thing almost certainly has to exist, but I've never seen it.
Fantastic videos! Thanks for the great advice!
Thank you so much for the support! I’m glad my video was helpful for you. Good luck with your project!
Dude what's your name? You said it way too fast- damn
Josh. Sorry I get excited and talk fast sometimes LOL😃
Do you install the facia and soffit before or after installation of shingles?
I do it after. I hope that helps!
He is short to the point.
I like to keep it simple and give as much information as possible. Thanks for watching!
Great video. 27:59 "you gonna wanna"....keep up the great work.
You gonna wanna smash that like button! Thanks man!
On the bird box. When you put the aluminium pieces with holes in it on the bottom. Is that for airflow? My house has..rotten wood there. Which might be why it keeps getting wood rot under shingles. I.d.k.. but, I'm going to replace this way. Thank you much for great video.
Very helpful.
It’s called vented soffit. It’s actually made out of vinyl. I did that because you need venting for your roof. So yes it’s for the airflow and not having that can cause your roof to sweat and rot. Hope that helps!
@@TheExcellentLaborer
Yes, that is indeed what happens . It all rotted on an old house I bought years ago.
I saw that the f- channel like bracket here was missing over the door. No air flow either. Also, the birdbox had a solid enclosure inside of box over the door.
So, the aluminium door rotted out first. (directly beneath the missing part and solid enclosed box with no airflow to attic.) Then the interrior walls around the door started leaking. along with all electrical wiring. Dangerous situation all things combined.
Thank you for all of your helpful videos. This is a very big job for me. However, knowing why it has happened several times in a row after repairing the first two rows of roof twice in the same places. I can better understand how this keeps happening.
At least in part. Now, I can start with those repairs and go forward. Slowly and carefully. Thank you again Josh. Incredibly useful video for me. Keep up the tutorials!
@@mariesacul722 I am so glad I could help you. That is the main reason why I started this channel is to help people like yourself with situations like yours. I appreciate you letting me know how helpful it really was. Thanks a lot for watching! Stay tuned!
What did you do for installation at the top of the peak
Why does some soffit have tiny holes in it and some are just solid
The soffit that has holes vent the roof. Solid doesn’t.
Which video shows how you put up the drip edge before the soffit and fascia?
This video ruclips.net/video/uVHGLWrNFQI/видео.html Hope it helps!
@@TheExcellentLaborer Thank you very much for the quick reply. Your videos have been very helpful so far!
Going to be taking on a siding project soon and wanted to know if 3/4 j channel or 1/2 j channel which is the right choice, and little reasoning behind it would be very helpful, I understand the thickness of the siding , has to be able to fit .. lol should of left this comment on a siding video
I have learned a whole lot from you and your videos thanks
Thank you for letting me know Edward. Good luck with your project!
Josh can you tell me where i can find aluminum fascia? same 6" stuff seen your videos. I've been looking everywhere for it. thanks in advance, your channel is a huge help for me
I use a angle grinder with a zip disc
I've watched 100s of videos and yet have I seen one w doing an inside corner....hopefully this one has it
I don't think you nail the drip edge
My Attic is foamed, do I need to close the framing underneath with plywood then vinyl soffit on top? Also plan on installing led lights and cameras so need to mount to something
Man I love all your videos. I am doing a total home remodel. You have a really good teaching technique and I learn something every time I watch one of your videos. I am working on the roof right now. Thanks for the videos!!!!
Do you have any ridge vent framing video? I am a home inspector I tried to learn from you.
Please share your video if you have. Thank you
What about a roof that meets a flat side of a house? You have been great for what I have done so far. Thank you. If you need pictures I will send
Hello, how are you, I really like that type of work, it really is an art, I was working on it in Desmoines Iowa, the truth is that I miss that job, if I had the opportunity I would work in the same thing again. Greetings.
First of, great video. Question though, how far do you measure down to strike a line to set top of the f-channel to?
You use a framing square to mark a line that will be level with the sub fascia. Look at him at 1:26 as he holds the framing square against the sub fascia to make his mark.
John is right. It’s going to vary depending on the pitch of your roof to and what do you use for sub facia.
Great video. Very helpful. Thanks!
Hi Josh, If you nail the soffit firm rather than loosely doesn't that restrict any expansion? It is such a small section at 12 inch so any expansion would be minimal anyway I guess. Recently found your channel and is by far the best I have found. Thanks!
Does the aluminum fascia come in a smooth finish w/o the ribbed look? I don't like the 2 lines running thru it and would prefer it smooth or even better with a wood grain pattern.
bro I've subscribed to your channel and watched many of your videos and i can honestly say you're not no labor your a boss so consider changing channels name
No you did a awesome job. I learned a lot. Thank you
Thank you so much! I wish you luck on your project. Thanks for watching.
Great video great house work woodworking great show
Thank you Peter. Be sure to stick around. Lots of content in the making!
Thank you. Excellent video as usual
You’re welcome Jim. Thanks for watching!
Woody rocks it! Thanx for sharing!!
Woody lol! Thanks Denny!
excellent work man 👌🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you Carlos!
You make look so easy I speaks a little of English but I understood everything good job
@8:00 Turn up the volume, hard to hear.
Yes that saw was loud!
Man I really appreciate your video. 💯
No problem!
That’s great but let’s see some challenges. Like gambrel soffit angles etc!
What if the siding has already been applied?
As long as there is F channel to put it in it should be fine with the siding already installed.
How would you nail the S channel without leaving the nailing flang exposed on the gable if you're using T1-11?
Are you talking about Z flashing?
@@TheExcellentLaborer...I am using everything that you used in the video. Your S channel was nailed to the house wrap with the nailing flang in the downward position. I know YOUR vinyl will cover and hid the nailing flang. I will have already put up T1-11. I can’t turn the S channel upside down to insert the 12 inch soffit in but I don’t want the nailing flang exposed. Thanks elvinvrogers@hotmail.com
@@elvinrogers6397 oh that’s the “F” channel. Are not sure what your overhang looks like but if you turn the F channel up the other way you can notch it around the blocking of your ever hang nail it in behind the soffit. Does that make sense?
@@TheExcellentLaborer ...Josh I am sorry for my misunderstanding of “F”. Thank you. I enjoy you videos. I catching up on all of them.
I love to watch his videos. I’m installing fascia & soffit and go to his videos nightly.
Hi, when nailing the facia on the gable side what if there's no soffit? How do you nail the facia since there's nothing to nail it to from the bottom up?
Thanks
No problem!
Thanks
No problem!
Great Video! Should I caulk between drip edge and fascia?
Thanks! No you should not have to. The over lap keeps the water out 😀
@@TheExcellentLaborer You are the best. Thanks so much!! My roofer only put drip edges on eaves but not on rakes. Would there be any problems? Should we add them to rakes? not sure if it's too much work because the shingles have been installed. Thanks!
@@christinawu4099 Definitely should have used drip edge on the rakes. That roofer shorted you.
Great video. Best I've seen yet! I'm confident I can get this done now.
Thank you. Definitely one of the top video tutorial on RUclips.
I would use a smaller hammer 12 oz for soffit fascia work
Great ad for Lowes! lol (by the way, I love Lowes!)
Great Great video. Thank you so much.
Excellent Commentary... Easy To Follow
