What our fascia repair service includes
Every fascia job starts with a real inspection and ends with a water test.
Work order
Fascia Board Repair- Full roof edge inspection: We check every linear foot of fascia by hand and with a moisture meter, plus the drip edge, gutter hangers and visible rafter tails. You get photos of anything we flag, whether or not you hire us for the repair.
- Rotted board removal: Failed sections get cut out clean with a pry bar and saw, down to solid wood. We do not nail new board over rot, which is the shortcut that fails within a year and traps moisture against the framing.
- Back-primed replacement board: New fascia is cut to fit, back-primed on all four sides, and fastened into solid rafter tails. Back-priming is the step most crews skip, and it is the reason our repairs hold up through Texas summers.
- Drip edge and sealant work: Drip edge goes back on with proper overlap, and joints get butyl tape and roof sealant. This is what keeps water moving off the roof instead of soaking into the new wood at the seams.
- Gutter re-hanging: If your gutters came down for the repair, we re-hang them with new hangers where the old ones pulled free and check the pitch so water actually runs to the downspouts.
- Hose test and final photos: Before we pack up, we run water along the repaired edge and check the attic side. You get a final photo set of the finished run and a record of what was replaced.

What Fascia Board Repair in San Marino, Texas involves
Fascia is the board that holds your gutters and closes your roof edge. When it rots, water gets into the structure and the repair gets bigger every month you wait. Fixing it properly the first time is the cheaper path.
Fascia Board Repair in San Marino, Texas means removing the damaged board along the roof edge, inspecting what sits behind it, and installing new material that carries the gutter load and closes the roof off from weather and insects. The fascia is the vertical trim nailed to the rafter tails. It holds your gutters, supports the drip edge, and keeps rain from wicking into the sheathing. When it rots, the damage rarely stops at the board itself.
San Marino sits in a part of Texas that swings from 100-degree summer afternoons to hard freezes in January, and that cycle punishes exterior wood. Add hail that dents gutters and drives water behind the trim, plus wind uplift that loosens drip edge, and you get the rotted fascia repair San Marino homeowners call us about every spring. Most of the boards we replace failed at the gutter line first, then spread upward into the rafter tails.

How our fascia repair process runs
Five steps, no surprises. You get a clear picture of the damage before anyone picks up a pry bar.
Tools and methods we use on fascia work
Each method answers a different question. Together they leave very little to guess.
Shows temperature differences that reveal trapped moisture behind finished surfaces. We use it on interior walls and ceilings when a leak source is not obvious.
Lets us look at two-story roof edges and steep sections without putting anyone on a ladder unnecessarily. It also gives you clear photos of what we see.
Traces water paths through the roof assembly. Useful when a leak shows up far from where it started, which is common with roof edge damage.
We run controlled water along a repaired edge and watch the attic side. It confirms the fix before we pack up the truck.

How fascia repair runs in San Marino
San Marino sits in the middle of the Texas freeze-thaw belt. Summers push exterior wood past 140 degrees on a south-facing roof edge, and January cold snaps drive moisture into every joint. That cycle opens up seams, splits rafter tails and lets water in behind the drip edge.
Stone Oak
Larger two-story homes with long roof runs and heavy gutter loads. Fascia repairs here often involve drone inspection first because of the height and steep pitches.
Monte Vista
Historic homes with deep eaves and original trim profiles. We match the existing fascia dimensions so repairs blend with the original architecture.
Alamo Ranch
Newer construction where fascia damage usually traces back to a failed pipe boot or lifted drip edge rather than age. Quick repairs if caught early.

PhotoRotted run behind a sagging gutter
Before: A 38-foot gutter run on a Stone Oak home had pulled two inches away from the fascia. The board behind it was soft to the touch and the paint had bubbled along the whole length. The homeowner had been patching it with caulk for two seasons.
After: We replaced the full run with back-primed treated 1x6, sistered two rafter tails, and re-hung the gutter with new hangers every 24 inches. The hose test ran clean on the first pass and the attic side stayed dry.
Hail-dented drip edge feeding rot
Before: A spring hail storm dented the drip edge on an Alamo Ranch home and drove water behind it. Within a few months the fascia showed rust streaks and soft spots near the downspout corner. The homeowner thought it was just cosmetic staining.
After: We replaced 22 feet of fascia, installed new drip edge with butyl tape at the overlaps, and sealed the fastener heads. The rust streaks stopped and the moisture meter read dry across the whole run at the follow-up check.
Full perimeter replacement on a 1950s home
Before: A Monte Vista home had original fascia that had been painted over at least four times. Probing with a moisture meter found rot in about 60 percent of the run, with two rafter tails soft enough to push a screwdriver into. The trim profile was non-standard.
After: We cut out the failed sections, sistered the two rafter tails, and milled new fascia to match the original profile. The full perimeter was replaced and primed, and the gutters were re-hung with new hangers. Total job ran three days.
Fascia problems we solve for San Marino homeowners
Fascia damage shows up in a handful of predictable ways. Here is what we see most often and what it means for your roof.
Paint peeling and bubbling along the roof edge
Bubbling paint means moisture is trapped in the wood and pushing out.
Gutters pulling away from the house
Loose gutters dump water against your foundation and siding instead of into the downspouts.
Water stains on the ceiling near an exterior wall
Ceiling water stains near the wall usually trace back to the roof edge.
Visible rot and soft spots you can push a screwdriver into
Soft fascia means the structural wood is gone.
Why homeowners fix fascia before it spreads
Fascia damage is one of those problems that looks small and bills large if you wait. Here is what a proper repair buys you.
Stops hidden water intrusion
Water that gets behind a rotted board soaks the roof sheathing and rafter tails.
Keeps gutters attached
Gutters hang from the fascia with spikes or hangers every 24 inches. Once the wood softens, hangers pull free and the whole run sags.
Blocks pests and drafts
A rotted fascia opens a gap straight into the attic. Wasps, rodents and birds find it fast.
Protects paint and curb appeal
Fascia is one of the first things anyone sees from the street.

Fascia pricing is straightforward once we know the linear footage and what is behind the board.

What neighbors say about our fascia work
I had paint bubbling along the back fascia and figured it was cosmetic. They put a moisture meter on it and found the whole run behind the gutter was soft. Replaced about 36 feet, re-hung the gutter, and showed me photos of the rafter tails before they closed it up. Two days from call to done.
Our 1950s house has deep eaves and the fascia had been patched badly by someone years ago. They cut out the old mess, sistered two rafter tails, and matched the trim profile so it looks original. I got a written price before they started and it did not change.
We manage four small retail buildings and the fascia on two of them was failing at the gutter line. They worked around our tenants, kept the parking lot clear, and finished both buildings in three days. The photo documentation they left made my owner report easy.
Frequently asked questions about fascia repair

Still have a question?
Describe what you are seeing and we will point you to the right next step.
2109395773Price depends on linear feet, board height, whether gutters have to come down, and how much rafter tail damage sits behind the rot. We quote by the job, not the hour, so the number you hear is the number you pay.
Yes. We cover all of San Marino and the surrounding San Antonio neighborhoods, including Stone Oak, Alamo Ranch, Terrell Heights and Monte Vista. Call 210-939-5773 with your address and we will confirm a window, usually within the same week and often the same day for smaller repairs.
A single gutter run, roughly 30 to 40 linear feet, takes two to four hours. A full perimeter with gutter removal and re-hanging runs a full day, sometimes two if the rafter tails need sistering. We give you a time window when we book and call if anything changes.
That is most of what we do. We cut out the rotted section, treat or replace any soft rafter tail behind it, and install new back-primed board. If the rot has reached the roof sheathing, we handle that as part of the same visit so you are not scheduling a second contractor.
