Visual Inspection Checklist
Walk around the perimeter of your home and look straight up under the overhangs. If you spot any of these signs, moisture or airflow problems are already developing:
If pressing on the bottom edge of your eave feels like pressing into a wet sponge, water has penetrated the wood core.
If fresh exterior paint keeps bubbling or flaking off in the same spot, moisture is pushing through the wood from behind.
When fascia wood softens, gutter screws lose their grip and the metal trough begins to sag forward.
Small rot holes under the overhang give squirrels, raccoons, and wasps an easy entryway into your attic space.
Painted-over or blocked soffit vents trap heat above your ceilings, driving your AC bills up and cooking your shingles.
When gutters clog or sag, water spills over the back edge instead of the downspouts. The 1x6 fascia board acts like a sponge, absorbs that moisture, and rots from the backside out.
If the metal drip edge along the roofline doesn't extend properly into the gutter, water curls backward under the shingles and runs straight down the face of the wood.
High humidity softens exterior trim over time. Once an eave has a soft patch, squirrels and raccoons can chew through it in hours to nest in the warm attic insulation.
Soffit vents pull fresh air into your attic to push hot air out through the ridge. When old paint layers clog those vent screens, attic temperatures regularly climb past 140°F in July, speeding up shingle breakdown.
Full Eave Restoration
When we take on an eave repair, our priority is removing the bad wood and fixing the moisture problem so you do not have to deal with it again next season:
We do not skim putty over soft spots or paint over water damage. We remove the damaged board completely and cut back to clean, healthy lumber.
When fascia rots, the rafter ends behind it often take moisture damage. We check every exposed rafter tail and bolt on new structural framing lumber (sistering) if the wood has softened.
We install primed exterior-grade cedar or James Hardie fiber-cement trim. Hardie board does not rot, swell, or warp in Houston humidity, making it an ideal long-term replacement.
We adjust the metal drip edge or add an apron flashing under the shingles so roof runoff drops directly into the gutter instead of wicking backward behind the wood.
If old plywood was blocking your vents, we install continuous vented soffits to keep fresh air moving through your attic and relieve summer heat build-up.
Why Work With a Dedicated Roofing Crew Instead of a Handyman
A general handyman will typically pull down a rotted 1x6 board, nail up a fresh piece, and paint over it. The problem? They rarely look at the water path. If water is curling behind the drip edge, pooling in an unpitched gutter, or seeping under an eave shingle, that new board will rot out just as fast.
→ We are licensed roofing contractors. When we replace a fascia board, we address the entire roofline—shingle overhangs, drip edges, gutter pitch, and rafter integrity—so the actual cause of the water intrusion is permanently resolved.

Repair pricing depends on the linear footage, the material used, and how high we have to work. We evaluate the roofline in person so you get exact numbers with zero guesswork.
Typical Repair Benchmarks
$350 – $2,200
Spot repairs run $350 to $750. Larger multi-side eave and vented soffit replacements range between $900 and $2,200 depending on linear footage and structural rafter prep.
4 Factors That Shape Your Estimate
Spot Repairs (5 to 15 Feet)
Fixing a single localized rotten corner or replacing a short run behind a leaking gutter typically costs between $350 and $750, including damaged wood removal, new lumber installation, and watertight caulking.
Larger Section and Multi-Side Replacement
Replacing 30 to 60+ feet of rotted fascia and vented soffit panels across an entire roofline usually ranges from $900 to $2,200, ensuring complete protection from rain and pests.
Material Choices (Wood vs. Fiber Cement)
Standard primed exterior wood runs roughly $8 to $15 per linear foot installed. Rot-proof fiber cement (HardieTrim) runs closer to $14 to $24 per foot, which pays for itself by eliminating rot, swelling, and termite damage permanently.
Working Height and Jobsite Access
One-story ranch homes are straightforward and move quickly. Steep two-story rooflines or tight zero-lot lines requiring specialized ladder staging and safety scaffolding will carry higher labor setup costs.
