I just replaced some 1958 fascia boards. We live in San Diego. Barely any rain, but termite infested. I used some sort of MDF leftover from another job. Although its water resistant and the termites will not eat it, this sheet aluminum idea seems to offer sustainable protection! I’ll try this on the next go around. Thanks for the tip!
I just paid 5 grand to have new gutters put on my house and there's water dripping behind all of the gutters that were just installed is this the gutter companies responsibility what's going on?
I don't understand why gutters should be so expensive. YOu can buy a 16 feet section at Home Depot for $25. It's not a high skill job. In my house all the gutters are on the first story. Relatively simple. Plus if I do it my self I can inspect the wood, paint it, replace it, or used wood expoxy. My roofer wanted $6,000 and said that was a discount because they were doing the roof. I figure I can do my whole house and garage for well under $1,000 in supplies. If I hire a day laborer for $250 a day, he should be able to do it in a day, two max.
NOW I see why you up in the northeast use those metal fascias. We have so little rain and no snow in most of California, we don't have these issues. Few people use metal fascias. I'll look for it next time in the mountains, but I doubt they do there either.
Just replaced 80 year old pine fascia boards wit AZEK, new gutters, had boss order enough to do MOTHER'S house extra on order from building 6" gutters flows much better than 5" aluminium
Thanks for the great video!! I have a few questions. My fascia looks like this. I live in central Arizona. I've never attempted this before. I'm going to remove the old gutter. Scrap the fascia and paint it with a sealer and paint. Then take your advice about the metal behind the gutter, then place the new gutter up. Question. Does this sound right so far... My steps mentioned above? Once I place the metal on the fascia, do I screw or glue that into/onto the fascia? Which is better, screwing it into the fascia or glueing? Now I place the gutter and I have to screw that through both the gutter (where metal or vinyl gutters) and the metal behind the gutter so I have more holes going into the fascia. I'm guessing I should use a sealant or chalking when I screw the screws into the fascia (for the metal and then the gutter).?. The gutter will be about 43 feet long. Thanks for your help.

Great job even tough guys feel pain... keep up the great work
Absolutely excellent demo
Perfect job, thank you so much for your great explanation.
Why not just tuck the back of the gutter up under the drip edge?
Brilliant, thanks for your video
3:10 That ankle pop. Felt that.
Thanks, that could help all sorts of us sometime. I just learned that.

Well explain my guy thank you very much nice video....👍🏾
Thank You
Aluminum flashing-encased wood seems about as expensive as just using PVC fascia board.
Perfect! One and done.
I was thinking of using pvc fascia, not sure how long pvc can last.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Question: would you recommend using a PVC fascia?
What about Flex Seal? Does it Work or garbage?
Why not let the sheet on roof have some small overlap then install the gutter a few inches inside to safeguard the fascia noard fro water.
Thank you for offering good info, but this video could have been much shorter by not talking about how water is wet and fire is hot.
